Hi, all!
I rarely visit this part of the forum, but today there is an opportunity to improve the situation somewhat!😁
In this interesting "what if" discussion with
@Marklo @Graham Boak
@corsaircorp
:
I wrote that the Allies did not work on swept wings.
But today, in this article:
https://afirsov.livejournal.com/543039.html
was show this photo:
As is understand from the discussion on link, this model "typically fighter" with rocket engine on which worked in 2WW Kuznetsov and Bisnovat under the direction of Putilov, from the very beginning sharpened by supersonic flight. Then, according to the scheme of this aircraft, they made models (missile “drones” launched from the carrier), on which they received M = 1.18.
Thus, I was wrong,
work on swept wings during the 2MB period was not only in Germany but also in the USSR.
