Messerschmitt Me 163 on display at Berlin - Gatow Luftwaffenmuseum , photographed on August 12, 2005 . I am confused what the image is also printed on the front of the body : a horse jockey ? After I had been looking at Google , recently discovered that it is a cartoon image of Karl Friedrich Hieronymus , Freiherr von Münchhausen ( May 11, 1720 - February 22, 1797 ) , the German nobleman who served in the Russian army and renowned for exceptional stories she told during the fight against the Ottoman Empire
Try to imagine an interceptor aircraft that can penetrate the height of 30,000 feet ( over 9,000 m ) in just three minutes! It must all agree , this is the fastest plane . An exceptional ability , at least for a World War II era .
Not just a fantasy , in fact, the Luftwaffe never operate combatants as mentioned above. Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet , that the lightning fighter . The main function is as an element that acted battering ram Allied bombers were flying high . Therefore, the experts concluded that the Nazi air war : besides the weapons hit , the speed also so the deciding factor .
When dissected , the key lies in the Comet miracle power source used . Instead of wearing a jet engine propeller moreover , Comet streaking opponent with capital chasing a Walter HWK 509A rocket motor - half . Power generated is able to catapult aircraft body to maximum speed of 960 km / hour . There was a breakthrough in rocket engine carried. When active , this power source does not leave a trail of white smoke . As a result borne opponent would not be aware there is an approaching aircraft .
But do not get me wrong . In fact possessed blazing speed just come back to haunt the crew Comet . Once the location of the bomber formation opponent , the pilot only had a wink of an eye for hitting the target with a pair of cannons Rheinmetall MK 108 30 mm caliber . When the first track to qualify the pilot still had a second chance when the float plane after running out of power . But again , this is not easy for to open fire when the comet swooping high accuracy fast !
Like the character of the rockets in general , when energy is emitted out then within two minutes Comets could only float in the air without being able to maneuver . Afterwards, the pilot can re- activate the rocket motor . Here is one of his weaknesses . When the loss of speed plus the ability to create Comet transformed motion become targets for Allied fighter - fighter escort .
Distress affairs that must be faced by the crew of the Comet not stop there . Problem landed also be a formidable challenge . This happens because in the phase plane no longer has a driving source which can be enabled at the same time for aircraft brakes . The severity of the landing skid owned models also less supportive style glider landings . It became common case Komet pilots suffered broken bones or internal injuries because of a hard landing !
Still on landing attempts , there is no danger of another target Comet pilots . Fuel rocket motors are used relatively toxic and flammable . This is the culprit of the explosion of a comet during landing .
In some cases often also encountered this plane exploded on take off . In addition to a technical fault the accident was reportedly often triggered by sabotage Me 163 factory workers are on average at the time was a prisoner . It can be proved in a comet that is currently on display at the Air and Space Museum Washington , USA . In fuselage found an iron bar that had been installed to rip the fuel tank when the plane took off . Uniquely on the iron surface are writing in French that when translated into English could be written into the "I am not happy in my work" ( I do not like my job ) !
Have not made a myriad of problems for the Luftwaffe failed to operate . First appeared in aerial combat on August 16, 1944 , Comet fleet indirect achievement .
