For this I would have to say no, the primary object of the build needs to be jet or rocket powered, in the case above these were additional bits added to a variant/object that wasn't. It's like wanting to build a Typhoon with rockets under the wings...... it doesn't really meet the criteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The power source of the man-carrying vehicle, rather than the power source of the unmanned component of the weapon system? I don’t know why I’m quibbling really. Just trying to figure a non aircraft angle, I suppose. Never mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Rocket propelled Valentine Tank. In trials the 18 ton vehicle cleared 154 feet but tended to land on its back so the trials were discontinued. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near a 154 foot jump (even though the Valentine was only supposed to go 50 feet!) There was also an experimental flamethrower Valentine which pressurised its weapon with a slow burning cordite charge. What could possibly go wrong with that?
