Oh jet fighter!!
I want to see front view.

Oh jet fighter!!

With boundary layer suction. In Feb 1940. It would've been interesting if Messerschmitt had switched to this instead of continuing on with the P 65. The P 01-112 could've ended up as the Me 262 and WW2 would've been a bit different...

Lippisch P.01-113

Because obviously the internet is always right. I suggest you go look that up on p63 of Lippisch's book Ein Dreieck Fliegt (or p50 of the English language version, The Delta Wing - History and Development).
In the meantime...

I'm sorry for the wrong number.

I'm sorry for the wrong number.

Whoever did the images for Ein Dreieck Fliegt appears to have doctored some of them quite considerably. There are four versions of the P 01-112 in the report - without boundary layer suction armed/unarmed, and with boundary layer suction armed/unarmed. The one in the book is the with suction/unarmed version. Here's the forward view of the with suction/armed version.

NB. the without boundary layer suction version has a different fuselage and wings, and a wheeled undercarriage.

p63 of Lippisch's 1976 book Ein Dreieck Fliegt. It's just the forward view from the image posted at Reply #4. That 3-view has been the only publically available image of the P 01-112 that was anywhere close to the original for 41 years.
