Pierre TIAN:
I made some fotografs of the scale model and send it to Friedrich Georg that never saw it before. He send me Bill Gunston extracts about NX 36 , the nuclear test plane that only flew 14 minutes on critical with his airborne Westinghouse nuke reactor, so I could compare with the smaller vertical fitted soviet nk airborne on Tupolew 94 Bear LAL Letatmie Atomiki Laboratorii.
My scale model came out of a The Aeroplane 1957 articles about the appropriation ans feasability of airborne nuke reactor, with the conclusion that it was finally a very bad and inefficient solution, for the usefull payload would be negligible
in regard of the nuke reactor and shielding weight. In the very article the clear shape of the Blohm and Voss 6 motors huge troop transport seaplane BV 222 with central Rolls Royce nuke reactor was shown. The BV222 test scale model 1 10 was the job on Richard Vogt, the unconventionnal BV 141 and other asymetric planes. After WWII, Vogt worked for Georges Schairer, Boeing , to draw nuke air liner, and presenting Boeing his SKODA mates very actives in SKODA Konzern · circles protected laboratory . At the same time, The Aeroplane Magazine underlined the heavy theoretical work that the Nazis had made on behalf aerodynamics , duck wings, forward swept wings, during WWII. Much has to be told about the Skoda Works and Hermann Goerings Werke. Many people were involved, especially from 1943 after the British Bombing Raid Hydra on PeenemUnde, and also when Himmler received permission from Hitler to build a huge industrial Konzern depending from the SS Black Order, that would strongly concurrence the German big bosses and Army establishment. Himmler , from 1938 and the Sudeten inclusion in the IIIR, was leaning his industrial and technological efforts on the SKODA Konzern and his manager Wilhelm Voss, that from 1943 was closely under the rule of Hans Kammler, that gradually took the eminence on Peenemunde, chasing von Braun team to place his Skoda team, so soon the A4b wing rocket was ready, and organising the firing of A4b A10, in presence of US testimoners March 1945
Tom Agoston book Blunder or Teufel oder Technokrat, about SKODA, Kammler, Voss, during and after WWII, Nasser Egypt and Mao Tse Toung nuke efforts and underground cities of Peking, Shanghai , etc cities against possible nuclear attacks from part of the Soviets
If Friedrich Georg which is damned good and seriously informed, added a glazed cockpit to the SK SSAB, I strongly suspect my suppositions to be right.
Did anybody read Atomziel New York and Hitlers Nuclear Bomb, with surprising fine photografs of Heinkel 177 Greiff with its enlarged bomb bay and aimer in Prag Rushin ?
