Dear hesham!


This link is to the article in Soviet magazine "Technology for youth" (Tekhnika-molodyozhi) of 1945.
Inside the article just general description, theory and history of rockets and jets - with the mention of V-1 and V-2 (without any designation).
So, don't treat the illustration of "Jet-powered aircraft" too seriously - I think it's a "general" shape, based on Gloster Meteor.

Hi Silencer,


but in Google translate,I found it as this;

Google made too general statement




The inscription could be translated "General view of rocket aircraft".
Air intakes made this inscription not too fair.
This magazine is Soviet analog of "Popular Mechanics" - and definitely didn't publish any secret projects...
By the way, nice magazine, with a lot of interesting articles and beautiful illustrations - thanks for the sharing!


Inside article Whittle turbojet engine has been mentioned and described, so author perfectly knew difference between rocket (solid- or liquid-propelled), turbojet, pulse-jet or even turboprop and turboshaft (sometimes).
Although in Russian both such types of engine have been described as "reaction-driving" (reaktivnyi).


Cheers!
