Incredible model, skilled pilot. Incidentally, I showed this to an old guy who was a kid in London during WW2, he said the sound cutting out was pretty scary. He still thought it is a brilliantly done flight.

[@burtinhart8438]

My eldest sister (now deceased) was a small child learning to talk during the Blitz. The sound of the "Doodlebug" (i.e., V1) would cease just before it crashed into somewhere in London. My Aunts and Uncles in the UK, when remembering the raids, used to tell us that my sister could hear a V1 earlier than anyone else in the household, and would yell out "Doodlebug, Doodlebug," and everyone would start heading for cover.

@@OldMtnGeezer Low wing loading, once the fuel has been spent. Pulse jets have an excellent thrust to weight ratio, around 2:1 especially considering they don't need an oil tank and pump and batteries to run them. An engine this size has a thrust of around 30 lbs.

Vaguely terrifying, genuinely hypnotic demonstration of pulse jet technology on a stress resistant airframe. Full scale tests of the pulse jets on Junkers aircraft very nearly ripped off the wings. The pilots themselves watched as the sheet metal began “rippling” on the dive bomber tested airframe when the pulse jets got to the proper ignition speed. Certainly disconcerting, to say the least! Kudos to this team!

Almost never happened: only a few where built, even less flew, and the very few that did go up met a 15 to 1 ratio of P51's and the likes. I have not found reports of HE162's doing ground attacks. They were meant to shoot down B17's and B24's in such numbers that the allies would reconsider fighting on against Germany. In march 1945 that is. It's in the historybooks now that that failed.

[@rooms1028]

​@@daddyjohan911 The allies wouldn't have ever quit. It might have been hopeful thinking, but the nazis had to be defeated. If the Japanese had waited another six or eight months to "sneak" attack Pearl, the outcome of the war may have been different.

More than half a century ago, when I was in high school, we had a "science" assembly in the gym that was conducted by a former science teacher from our school. Maybe it was NSA or NASA or something (we had a lot of these things in Maryland in the 1960s), I can't recall. Well the "finale" of his demonstration show was a ram jet that he had mounted to a stand. He gave his patter and then he set off that jet and it went on for about 10 seconds. I think my ears bled. It was the loudest noise (in a gym, no less) that I have ever heard in my life before or since. After the screaming had died down, we walked out of the gym VERY quietly. I passed my principal on my way out. He had a look of fire and brimstone on his face. Needless to say, former science teacher was never invited back.

[@steadmanuhlich6734]

WOW! That is impressive! Fantastic to see it flying so fast with that pulse jet engine too. What is the scale speed of that plane as shown? (does it exceed the speed of the real original full size aircraft?). As I was watching it fly by fast, or off into a climb or roll or coming back towards the camera, I imagined how difficult it would be for a gunner on a bomber to try to track or anticipate (and hit) it with a .50 caliber machine gun. The jet was so fast! Also, congratulations to the builder/pilot for making such a great scale model, and flying it with such skill and speed. Bravo! Even the takeoff was impressive, and a gliding landing too. Bravo! Google search found this for the HE-162: The specification stipulated various performance requirements, including a maximum weight of 2,000 kg (4,400 lb), a maximum speed of 750 km/h (470 mph) at sea level, an operational endurance at least a half hour, while the takeoff distance was to be no greater than 500 m (1,640 ft).
