A kid, towed not 30 feet behind two jet engines? 


I'm pretty sure that would scare away more recruits than it would attract.

That looks like it could be a glider bomb........  Start high and far, begin a gradual decent, fix on target, gain a little more speed and release the cable.  Glider bomb wing design was to maintain the target vector only, no adjustments could be made and wind would ruin the chance of a good drop by most of what the Luftwaffe had left....   Then again........ That could be a fuel tank.  

262 bombing was done by the KG 54, but details are so few it is tough to know for sure how they were bombing.

The black tubes are probably R4M rockets, making the photo a 262 A-1a/R-1.

No R4M mounts went on the wings. Id bet on special antenna for radio apparatus of some sort. No telling what they had in mind but certainly not R4Ms.

The 'bomb' trailing behind the 262 is actually a fuel-tank, I've seen an article about it in FlyPast. Only it was used by a He-172. The big hose confirms this, if it was a bomb, they'd probably use a thin wire instead.

its not correct frank, it is definitive a bomb. one kind of bomb caring in the 262 bomber program.

You're right, I didn't read the text on the link 

'Shown here is a Me 262 A-1 Schwalbe taking-off with a 'Deiselschlep' 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) towed bomb. This was tested at Rechlin and was cleared for operational use just before the end of the war.'

Strange though, the article I read was from a He-177, which carried a fuel-tank looking just like it. I'll see if I can find the article and scan it in.

Have you a far idea of what would happend if you manouver with something like 1 ton bomb wired on your tail? what about wind, termics ect.. wich would make such weight go everywhere changing your longitudinal dihedron? and above all with such thing wired on your 6 it's advisable to fly allways with 100% of power, if, for any reason, they had to slow down the bomb could caught up them

That's why IMHO it was not wired!

Saluti!

It would be a beatch to chop throttle and have it plow into your six.   

[frank3]

Wouldn't be a problem in the MA, where everyone flies at 100% throttle all the time
