Japanese Ka-10 pulse-jet

[Pelzig]

I've attached a picture found in the 1953 book Koku Gijutsu No Zenbo. It shows the Ka-10 pulse-jet. Now, most, if not all of the illustrations of the Kawanishi Baika (the plane that was to use the Ka-10) do not show the front of the engine as depicted here. We usually see it with a round intake, or cowl if you will.

Do the assembled here think the Ka-10 as shown in the picture is accurate as used? It does have some resemblance to the front of the Argus 014 engines used on the Me 328B-1. Or, is the picture simply showing the front end without a cowling or intake cover.

Re: Japanese KR10 pulse-jet

Hi Edwin! KR10 was a liquid fuel rocket engine for Shusui.
カ（KA)-10 was a pulse jet engine(static thrust:300kg) for Baika.
Baika's performance
Top speed : 556km/h
Range : 290km
Armament : 250kg bomb
Baika was based on German V1.

Thanks for the links. They do illustrate my main question on the Ka-10. If you compare the models and how they present the Ka-10, you can see how the front differs from the illustration. Here is the version of the Argus that looks similar in the front, to a point, to the Ka-10.

There's a photo of a Ka-10 in Steven Zaloga's book V-1 Flying Bomb 1942-52: Hitler's Infamous 'doodlebug'.

Hi, I am studying aeronautical engineering and am looking to build a variant of V1 engine and am searching for plans, do you know where I could get the full plans of that photo and anything else that could help? Thank you

Good evening @Justo Miranda and anyone else active in the forum. I was wondering if you had the full version of those cutaways and anything else regarding the Argus engines in original axis format or other, it would be greatly appreciated as I would be using it in my Aeronautical Engineering Degree Thesis!
