Re: [Flightgear-devel] Me262
Here is the official site of this project:http://www.stormbirds.com/project/index.html This incredible project is the result of a decade of privately-administered effort to create flight worthy examples of the Messerschmitt 262 fighter, and is now entering its final stages. Formerly subcontracted to the Texas Airplane Factory and administered by Classic Fighter Industries, Inc. the WTMF owner's group has now assumed watch over the final, and most critical, phase of the project. Our Seattle-based team of expert designers, engineers and technicians recently completed the flight test program for the first of our five jets, while the second machine is rapidly approaching similar tests..

These new-build Me262s are convertible to tandem two-seaters and the first one to be built, N262AZ, was configured as such. I've been following this story for a few years and there have been regular reports in some of the classic aircraft magazines. LeeE --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

But it is *NOT* the first flight of this American project to rebuild the Me262 - but somehow not really true as there are modern engines and some details changed due to security reasons. This project has an amazing story as the companies who build the planes changed during the development and after the maiden flight there was one accident due to landing gear structure defect only with smaller damage. The testpilot is former German military jet pilot with a lot of experience (Wolfgang Czerny ) and has written a nice book about his work with the Me262. There are several Me262 build, at least 1 for a German flight museum. It might this one which has been tested in Manching. Sorry details lacking as I have them all but could not find them on the run! May be you can find more with Google about this project. Regards Georg EDDW "HeliFlyer" --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

There was a group of people in Ft. Worth who were building five Me-262's, full scale, using J-85 engines. I think they were bought-out a couple years ago, and I don't know what became of their nearly completed airplanes. Maybe this is one of them? Dave --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Are you sure about that - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me-262 (section 5), besides there's no swastikas on it as far as I could see. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

What the subject said is apparently correct: "today the First Flight in Manching / Germany" I guess "today" rellay means "today" ! The person who sent me these images is an old veteran of the BO105 development (now working as "special confiuguration manager" for the NH90, the guy whom to contact if you want a Gatling attached to your NH90 ) and apparentlyy he still maintained his connections to his old workplace. I don't think that he sent these pictures as a joke, Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
