Messerschmitt Me 163 'Komet
Messerschmitt Me 163 'Komet'
The Messerschmitt Me 163A was as a research aircraft with rocket propulsion designed by Dr. Alexander M Lippisch.
Developed from the Me 163A was the Me 163B, A single seat target defense fighter. It featured a constant 22.3 degrees of wing sweepback at quarter chord, lacked horizontal tail surfaces and utilized a jettisonable twin-wheel dolly for take off and a retractable skid for landing.
A total of six prototypes and 70 pre-series were ordered. The first prototype (Me 163B V1) was completed in April 1942, but it had to wait for the completion of the first HWK R II-211 rocket motor for it's propulsion. The first flight with the rocket engine took place on June the 23rd 1943 (prototype Me 163B V2)
The HWK 509A-1 production rocket engine produced a max. thrust of 1700 kg for 7.5 minutes.
In May 1944 the Luftwaffe accepted it's first Me 163B, unofficially it was called 'Komet' a total of 279 Me163's were delivered, it was not very successful, 80 per cent suffered damage from take off or landing accidents and 15 per cent lost control in a dive or had fire onboard in the air.
Development of the Me 163C from the Me 163B with improved rocket engine that could last for 19 minutes started in January 1943, testing scheduled for August 1944 newer took place. No Me163C was ever completed or tested.

McDonnell F15 Eagle
Peeping things: McDonnell F15 Eagle
Type: Air superiority hunters T
DETAILED INFORMATION
"Designed as replacement for the F-4 Phantom II in the land-based air superiority role and first flown in YF-15 prototype form on July 27, 1972, the F-15 Eagle is another type that has matured as a superb multi-role fighter. The type was planned with a large wing and a thrust/weight ratio exceeding unity for unrivalled climb rate, and from the beginning has been notable for the advanced nature of its avionics and the excellent fields of vision provided for the pilot. The first two models to enter service were the F-15A single-seater and the TF-15A (later F-15B) combat-capable tandem two-seater; both had APG-63 radar and Pratt & Whitney F-100-P-100 afterburning turbofans, and production totaled 366 and 58 respectively for the U.S. Air Force plus 19 and two respectively for the Israeli Air Force.
Delivered from June 1979, the definitive variants are the F-15C single-seat and the F-15D two-seat models with APG-70 radar (with a programmable digital signal processor, synthetic-aperture ground mapping and track-while-scan air-to-air capability), an uprated powerplant, and provision for low-drag conformal packs carrying fuel and fitted with tangential attachments for weapons. Both types remain in production for the USAF, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and are built under license in Japan by Mitsubishi."
