BMW Strahlbomber II

[hesham]

From, Secret Weapons of the Third Reich,

BMW designed this bomber as a flying wing. Two BMW 018 turbojets rated at 3450 kp
(7590 lbs/thrust) were to be mounted beside one another in the rear of the aircrft and
fad by an air intake duct running through the fuselage. The bombardier was to be prone
in a ventral armored compartment to provide optimal visibility during bombing runs.
Two machine cannon were planned for installation in a remote controlled rear turret,
to be operated from the navigator's position. The bomb load was 5000 kg (11000 lbs).

Shahed is almost exact replica of 1985 Dornier antiradiation drone. Where as several german deltawings could be the starting point for Avro Vulcan bomber developement from latter part of 1950ies..

I´m sorry but I still don´t get it. The shape of the Shahed is a "classical" one and could be found in many past designs. All we need is a proof for the specific design-evolution. E.g. we would need a document or an interview with an iranian designers. Otherwise the involvement of the german Limbach two-stroke engines as a cheap drive for these drones is better documented. But anyways, we should leave it here.

Here is early AVRO study. It is called design evolution.
