Congratulations, yes this is it

The DFS-346 - DFS for "Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug" ~ "German Institute for Sailplane Flight".

The german experimental never flew with own propulsion, it was only tested as a sail plane. It was planned to add two Walther rocket drives, intended to reach Mach 2 with it. It turned out that the wings did not work well at those speeds (to say at least), whence some modifications..

Here (after the war) it is hanging under a russian B-29 that made an emergency landing in Russia and was not returned. It was repaired and used for such purposes. (OT They then copied the B-29 and created the TU-4, almost the same but with heavier armouring)

Here it is standing on its 'sled'

This was some of the russian modifications, it was hard to steer without the wing 'fences'. Later, a lot of russian planes had those fences on the wings to control the air flow, it was another solution than the negative arrowed wings of the JU 287 that had had a similar problem

The rest is all in Jim's Link..

Over to Jim

Righteo, I'll try and stay clear of anything with a religious connection

Catfish · 10-01-20, 05:25 AM

^ lol np

May i ask how you found the DFS? Not Google image search i think

Jimbuna · 10-01-20, 05:28 AM

I started looking at aircraft with sleds and luckily that was one that came up.

Jimbuna · 10-01-20, 06:28 AM

Okay, this shouldn't be too difficult....what is this?

Catfish · 10-01-20, 10:31 AM

Here in the UK every town etc. has at least one church but protocol has always dictated that for somewhere to be a city, there must be a cathedral within its boundaries.

Not sure if that is still the case today though (Sunderland near me having recently been declared to be a city but doesn't have a cathedral).
