Description
A more serious effort by Prof. Anton VeeblefitzerCombining an extremely narrow fuselage ( "We've no elbow room!", complained the test pilots), with a large wing area, two 1,850 HP motors, in a pusher mode, and a razor thin V - tail stabilizer, a machine was created that could out-speed any other aircraft of it's period (1944).
The Red Arrow carried no weapons, and usually loaded with cameras, weather detecting equipment, and new technology to test the effects of high altitude conditions on a human body, proved useful in aiding the development of science in this particular universe.

I like this design, a fuselage much more reminiscent of the slender Italian fighters, with a hint of Soviet and a canopy reminding of the He 219. From the size of the engines and the arrangement, it certainly sounds feasible as a conversion towards a light/medium bomber, perhaps paving the way for a Jumo-powered version too. Good job!

Big thanks, friend.
Best feedback in a long time.
I love Luft '46, and all the wild designs.
Sometimes I try to be a bit more serious, as in the Ve -52.
The word Veeblefitzer I got, decades ago, from MAD magazine(!).
It's Yiddish for "complicated machine".
I'll check your site and give feedback.
Best, Jimbo

Hah, that's a rather interesting irony. Late war projects certainly were diverse and weird, lots of outlandish stuff that was up on the drawing board!

I read somewhere, that in order to avoid having their workers conscripted to fight the Russians, the German aircraft co.'s kept their scientists busy designing these outlandish looking aircraft, and claimed to the SS, etc., that "they're really helping the war effort, so don't draft them!"
Could be.
Best, Jimbo
