[Mad026]

She would flies nice on the skies of IL-2 

By the way it's an interesting design I had never hear about it before.

[Fresco23]

 This looks like a sleek and fast fighter! Though probably not the most agile! I like the look a lot! Looks very space age-ish like some of the German designs at the end of WWII!

cockpit too wide. Pilot needs to be raised, or frames need to be lowered to improve lateral visibility. Frontal Visibility horrible at best.
the two reactors are a nice idea to convert boom drag into extra propulsion.
not a bad BASIC concept, the japs had the same ideas.

[SAS~Malone]

hmm...interesting.

[Valkas]

And it should have a nice animation how pilot gets chopped into pieces by prop while bailing out.

Actally, all 1946 thing kind of threw away modders from making awesome "what if" aircraft like this. What a shame.

Thats why one should Bail Inverted with Negative G-Load, or its hamburger meat

[Pursuivant]

Thats why one should Bail Inverted with Negative G-Load, or its hamburger meat

Or explosive bolts to blow off the prop before bailout.

Even then, there's some risk of getting hit by the horizontal stabilizer unless you also have an ejection seat or negative G.

Interesting design, I saw it in some Discovery Channel maybe? movie.

[Il2 crazy fan]
