+1 we need early jets
My gosh
Where have you been all my life
Absolutely
+100
Just inverted Turboprop engine.
Instead of Jet engine running propeler blades, Motojet is an inline engine running compressor of Jet engine( it have advantage over standard that it lack turbine which have a tendency to explode)
+1! Event vehicle spotted!
This is such a cool plane and would be a perfect addition to fill the gap between the 6.3 props and 8.0 jets. It’s also really unique because i don’t think there are any other planes in war thunder to utilize both prop and jet at the same time (though someone might correct me on that).
+1 i would play the shit out of this plane!
There could be similar aircraft mig-13(I-250) but this had worse design by using power from main engine to run compressor
They used the same sistem in fact.
I wouldn’t be suprised if they tried stolen/brought/exhanged plans to see how this work for them
They “compared” it like with the Sukhoi SU-24?
I need to dig into Mig-13 to answers this certainly
(I was joking that for the SU-24 they copied the Mirage G8 and the F111 and they admitted it. But later the propaganda said that the checked if they were doing all right)
one of the most coolest early jets!
The power output for the engine is split between a propeller and a turbine with each creating paracitic resistance depending on the speed the plane is going, meaning you effectively get the worst of both worlds as opposed to the best of both worlds. I think that the italians’ decision of having a seperate engine for the turbine gives the plane a much better way to control the thrust of each propultion technique rather than having to rely on two seperate gearboxes for the same engine.
Just a shame that the italians decided to use a biplane engine for the turbine instead of a periodicly modern engine.
This was more or less my point, thank you for explaining in detail
I think that engine choice was more about size and how easy it will be to aquire one. There were some works around top of the line engines to be used for motojet construction(with full power). I’m currently researching other Campini’s projects where he experimented with DB601 and 605 as compressor power source
Just posting a cheeky little comment to see if this plane can get a bit more attention.
doing the same then
good lord this would be amazing- but a nightmare for bombers at it’s br. +1 nonetheless
Shes beautiful
badly need this
I think this and maybe also the campini caproni n1 can be a interesting way to import in the game ww2 italian’s jets, honestlyfor the second one idk if in the original peoject there was already the dislocations of the weapons, also because was only a prototype
