peer01 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 The Blohm & Voss P 170 was a three-engined unarmed fast bomber project by aircraft manufacturer Blohm & Voss during the Second World War (1942). It was so fast, it could outrun the fighters at that time, so it needed no arms. Blohm & Voss presented two models, but no one was ever built. Pity the panel doesn't work in this FSX updated plane. I tried several other panels, but the only thing you see is big fat BMW engine in front of your nose.....

ColR1948 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Have to tried moving the view in the panel forward more Jan, I had that in one aircraft and after a bit of editing I got it right? Looking at the picture of it maybe moving it up as well might work but the cockpit does seem a long way back, how strange to have it there. Col.

azzaro Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 No clue where they were going but a great view of where they'd been. :p You do find interesting nuggets of aviation among the tailings of history. :) -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peer01 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Bob, David, thanks for your comments:):) David: It sure is! I have an even stranger bird, another Blohm & Voss. I'll post it here later.:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Same company, same story: Blohm & Voss 194 from 1944. Designed for a heavy BMW radial engine, ore a jet engine. they never built one. The jet engine was placed behind the cokpit btw. When you think you've seen it all: Please click on the pic to enlarge :):) Edited August 13, 2019 by peer01 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamb Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Interesting looking aircraft Jan. :) Why do you say it's unarmed when it has bombs hanging there. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Because it has no guns to defend itself, but bombers carry bombs. And in those days bombs only fell down. And it's not easy to defend yourself against fighters with only bombs that fall down. Or you have to fly above them and drop them on their heads. (Like you did on my roof). And when you do that your bombs are gone, so you have to fly back to where you came from to get new ones. . So: it's not armed with guns, but it carries bombs. Capito? Yes? I can mail you a hand-out if you like. If you pay for it! :mad: Sigh! PAH! TSK! Edited August 14, 2019 by peer01 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightsimg Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Great prototypes! Both are water-related, should one think about:) The first one is a sort of race car with two sharks, or seals either side. The second has the pilot atop one of the sharks. All what Peer needs (for the race car, don't see much on the other hand :) ) (BTW, as far as the first one is concerned, it was just a bomber with no armement further for cause of its speed, allowing to escape any fighter) Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

peer01 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Me neither Rick! :confused: Thanks! :) I made a wrong interpretation about the last one: It had 2 engines, one MB BIG radial engine and a jet engine behind the cockpit.....:o:o Edited August 14, 2019 by peer01 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaro Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) A lot of very interesting concepts came out of German aviation during WWII. Necessity may have been the Mother of invention, but Hitler* was its Führer. :rolleyes: -- Bob *Actually it was Göring, but that wouldn't be punny.

peer01 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Bob, at this stage of WW2 no plans were realized, Nazi-Germany was very busy to ran into chaos. :rolleyes: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfwright Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Nice shots. Gosh, now that's one I have never seen. Rather strange looking but I can see why it would be fast. Wonder what kind of range had. Jim I am a King Air fan. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Jim: combat range 2.500 km / 1.350 Nm. Max speed: 443 Kn. :) Really something! :eek::rolleyes: Thanks! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
