Romanian Jet

[Tanthalas]

it will work though, and I can get more preformance out of it than a prop plane but uhm I dont think Materials are exactly up to the task of Jet fighters just yet...although using sheatmetal for the fuselage and tail section did help....

So what happens when you try to do a turn or a loop and the wind sheer blows  your litterally bruning exhaust onto a part of the aircraft not covered in sheet metal.  Did you intend to paint that sheet metal :)

And I really think I can get a more manuverable aircraft specifically in right turns out of a 150 Hp Rotary Engine....   

Can the wooden frames of the time period take the stress of the additional preformance without say your upper wing comming off in even a shallow dive :)

of course given the 1910 tech of Romania I dont think they can even use Sheet Metal yet.   Didnt sheet metal bodies first appear on the Late War 1918 Aircraft.  Given that more aircraft were lost durring WW1 to take off and landing and pure operational and training crashes then to combat what do you think a Conda 1914 Tech model will do to the Era of mass 20 Hours training and off to your combat squadron pilot training.  Durring the height of the Folker Scourage I believe British and French Pilots were averaging 10 hours in Type before being sent to the front.

That was part of my point in testing it.  I dont think that materials or Pilots are realy up to the task of Jet fighters just yet.  Although it is a dandy plane to fly once you get used to it.  But as for when I belive late 1917 early 1918 is apropriat for sheatmetal use in aircraft.

Yes, on a few of those Junkers IIRC.
