Both the Soviets and Americans hung pulse jets on the wings of fighters as experiments. For the Soviets they hung a pair of ramjets on the La-126 (developed from the La-120/La-7) and on the La-138. A number of La-7s and La-9s were fitted with pulse jets.

P-51s also were tested with ramjets and pulse jets.

In every case, the gain in speed was more than offset by ill-handling.

My regards,

Widewing

i bet you could use em to get alt and then turn em off and boom zoom.  Probably handling still messed up from extra drag and weight tho. Would be fun to play around with tho, fun too shoot off :)

.... a good la7 pilot is your worst nightmare.

It is fortunate that excludes 95-99% of them :D
