High-Power Attacker With Low-Power Engines: Henschel Hs 129
In this video, we talk about the Henschel Hs 129, a German ground-attack aircraft from World War II that attempted to use more unwanted parts in its construction. We first talk about the general logic of using unwanted or lesser-wanted parts in aircraft construction, and how it was most commonly seen in the use of wood instead of metal. We then talk about Germany's search for a ground-attack aircraft, spurred on by their success in the Spanish Civil War. We talk about the requirements for the project, including the use of a low-power, not-in-demand engine, and how it resulted in the Hs 129 and Fw 189C.
We then compare the poor performance of both planes, which were far too underpowered and severely restricted pilot vision from cramped cockpits. We talk about how the Hs 129 won by being cheaper to produce, how its initial production models failed, and how the design managed to survive through the German takeover of France. We then talk about the improved performance of the Hs 129, its solid performance at the Battle of Kursk, and its evolution through stronger weaponry, going up to a 75mm cannon.

The "Superplane" That Didn't Exist: Heinkel He 113
Most sane B&V aircraft proposal:
Coooool Barracuda! Yeah, whatever; someone had to say it sooner or later.
If they had made the model 22 into a parasite fighter or interceptor I think it would have been a real winner. Take out the warhead and replace with extra fuel and a cannon or rockets, and add the landing skid off the trainer, and you have a super maneuverable, lightweight, easy to produce fighter aircraft with (probably) a ridiculous top speed. Add several solid rocket motors that can be turned on for a momentary boost and it's even faster. Think about how ridiculously lightweight this aircraft is without the warhead, and that even with the warhead the model 22 has a near 300mph speed in level flight. Now reduce the weight significantly by removing the warhead and adding fuel for increased range. Think about the fact that it could have been carried under a bomber in a bomber formation with a pilot riding inside, ready to release the plane at a moment's notice. I think it could have been a great design, just not the way they built it. If it had been built as the model 22 from the beginning and as a fighter I think it could have potentially been one of the highest performance fighters in the Pacific theater. The design was quite good I think, the use as a manned cruise missile was stupid.
How dare you sar
Looks really similar to an A 10. Its cool
Early warthog
Early Griffon technology. Saab fighter
The front wings are supporting bracket to hold the pilot cabin. With out that how do you suggest will be keeping the cabin on the plane with the engine rotating?
The sucsser was and is the A10 Wart Hog
It is a 3 surface plane much like the P.180 Avanti. The canard is for main wing stall prevention. I bet the canard had flaps and the tail plane moved.
Sounds to me like that "Wright engine" was actually the "Wrong engine". Sorry guys I couldn't let that go unsaid
Great video. Thank you for putting this together. The C202 Folgore (Lightning) seemed like a great plane!! I am 100% Italian blood and decided to look into their air power of WWII. I love the tan desert camo!
P51 was mostly a European theater plane, not a Pacific theater plane
No mention of the cooling fan (similar to the Fw190 or J2M Raiden) on the Homare powered version? Or the planned turbosupercharged land based interceptor version?
Designing a plane around a specific engine was then and still today, very common.
They built ships
Leaks in British hydraulics ?!? impossible !
Sorry, anything classified as something that could have influenced the war in any way, by definition, must have actually participated in the war.
2:14 Skip intro and get to the subject. For those that don't want to hear nothing but talking about random stuff.
the US needed their heavy fighters because they were striking islands with long range bombers. why would Japan build this instead of carrier or land based interceptors. youre wilfully shoving hour head up your ass to ask “WhY dIDnT tHeY bUiLD pLAnE tHaT HaVE bIg NumBEr lIKe iN mE gAmE? “
Fantastic thats why i love zinn watches they try things no nonsense
That just kind of working with goverment. They dont know what they want, just go with it and dont question it.
The combined production of the Merlin was 168,086, not counting the 9000 produced that were the Meteor version for tanks (which makes it 177,068 - so more than the R1830?).
There is something ironically about a heavily armed (a variant of Pak 40!!) and heavy armored plane with super weak engines. You can really see that the designers had to come up with solutions to make it work, like external gauges due to cramped cockpit.
When you speak electronics, you referred to what? I want to make clear in my mind what was electronic in analog bord.
Note the leaning tower of Pisa at lower right. 16:26
11:55 the navy did the same thing with the D4Y, but then it's the navy we're talking about.
Might want to mention that, in the Southern US, the term "tomcatting" referred to a certain activity of male HUMANS.

*They ruined the P-38 too with the mandatory use of their pre-bought superchargers they forced Kelly to use on its Allison engines. That's why the 38 never even came close to its potential and possibilities. In the PTO Bong and McGuire operated at or below 10,000 feet where the supercharger issue didn't matter and cleaned up. Bong coming in with 40 and McGuire with 38 air-to-air kills.*
I’m a big fan of “light”, light cars, light motorcycles, & I guess light planes. It was very sensible idea to get the performance with lower powered engines so Japanese engineers went light to make remarkable aircraft....never had to go to war but if I did have to in any vehicle or aircraft it would immediately break my preference towards light 😮.....” getting shot at” would make me very keen on “heavy armour please”😅
The only advantage of such pusher configuration is seamless conversion to Jet engine.
What was the story with the Yak-3 pictured with the destroyed wing? It looked like a real Yak-3 not an RC one.

This sounds like lock picking lawyer .
The intended substitute for Junkers Stuka was the Henschel-132, somehow similar to He-162. Soviets captured and tested prototype
The b3 variant with that 75mm cannon looks so ridiculous that it could be one of these fantasy weapons out of an action movie. I can imagine that the airframe would simply disintegrate after it fired ten rounds.
The A-26 was almost the twin-engine counterpart to the P-51D Mustang. Like the Mustang, it looked like it was years ahead of everything else in its class and it had the performance to back it up. Just a brilliant plane. Thanks for putting this together.
So cool this was like the jap Thunderbolt...
Supposedly had the flying characteristics of a Catamaran.
Slate sucks. Always did. Probably always will.
One big problem with Japanese engine power was the fuel they were losing. Because of their limited oil supply, even before the war started, they couldn't refine it to the levels the US did because they would lose too much quantity. The Germans faced the same problem, which is why German engines were built to a significantly higher displacement for the same horsepower. And both Japan and Germany pioneered water injection.
I can confirm on the small gun/ big bullet question. When visiting the states, a friend there let me shoot through his gun collection. One of them was a tiny Derringer pistol loaded with .45 long colt ammunition. The tip of the bullets was at the end of the barrel, while the grip was shorter than my hand. I had a bruise on my hand for about a week.
