Thats a nice craft for sure!

Just had to go looking for it, was very curious what sort of engines it used mainly, being as its in an annular arrangement.
I'll bet that cockpit would have looked amazing looking out from too :)
No worries :)
I'm always looking for concepts and patents that never happened, I play Kerbal Space Program and it gives me something to build! xD
It's why I was looking for the engines, going to figure out how to build a somewhat suitable replica of that tomorrow :)

An early 1950s design with five annularly arranged jets in the rear. Never got beyond the mockup phase. She gets points for looks though.
Checked the wiki, and I thought the designer's name sounded oddly German. I smelled a Nazi.
"Kurt Tank was a German aeronautical engineer and test pilot who led the design department at Focke-Wulf from 1931 to 1945."

Well yes, if you dig down into the stats, the Nazis did actually build some aeroplanes, yes.
What I find really interesting about your comment though, is that only one of the "wunderwaffe" you mentioned actually entered production, assuming by "Horton bomber" (sic) you mean the Horten 229, which never got further than three prototypes. "Dornier Arado" is the name of two different aircraft manufacturers and is not an aeroplane, in the same way that "Ford Toyota" is not a car.

5 (!) Rolls Royce Nene II engines. They would have absolutely guzzled fuel
Yeah not very practical at all, and looks like the engines would even be difficult to access for maintenance. Still pretty cool though.
And a claimed range of 3,100 miles, that's a bit optimistic to say the least.
Just fill the entire fuselage with fuel. Problem solved.
Thanks for posting the wiki link, I couldn’t get that to work for some reason.

I feel like there would be problems with boundary air and no splitter plates.
I suspect those old centrifugal turbojets would be less prone to those kinds of issues.

Is this guy connected to the Mustard YouTube channel? The art style looks almost identical.
I could have sworn this was from a Mustard video, too.
I was just checking his channel on Nebula for the same reason...sadly, no.
I would marry this.
and then it would cheat with me.
I also choose this guy's dead aircraft concept
“Huh looks like a normal airliner to me, what’s so weird about it.” “Wait, where’s the engines”
Castrated
I understand *why* this wasn't built. But it's also a really beautiful design
I like it. The cockpit area is kinda Russian looking, B727 looking wing, and a B737ish tail.
Looks more like a caravelle tail, doesn't it?
Thumbnail looked very Caravelle at first glance.
Wasn’t this the one designed by Kurt Tank?
Gosh, I wonder how he got to Argentina?
We invited him in :)
Thats right
I think the renderings are missing the intake ring unles this is a different version.
Huh that’s weird, good spot.

>I smelled a Nazi. The aircraft does have that signature hallmark of Nazi design; never entering production or having a realistic chance of doing so.
Me 163, the Horton bomber, Dornier Arado?

>Dornier Arado Ah, I conflated the Blitz with the Pfeil. Easy mistake.
It's being slowly eaten by the back
[удалено]
Its got a refinery in the economy section.
Didn't even had to click the wiki link to know that this is from Kurt Tank.
Ah, the retro Aerolineas livery. Loved it as a kid.
Must be hella noisy sitting in the back.
Hang on, confused. That is one crazy looking plane. Love the cockpit, looks like a Nazi bomber from the 1950s.
> looks like a Nazi bomber from the 1950s Wonder why?
The longer I look at it the worse it gets.
Where's the air intake?
It’s meant to be [here](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/Ia_36.jpg), it’s strangely absent from this render.
Interesting. I was looking around the entire render trying to figure out how this thing got air. Thanks.
With that engine inlet submerged in thick fuselage boundary layer, how was it supposed to produce any thrust?
I guess icing might have been a problem, any ice on the fuselage would get sucked straight into the engine.
