Saab J-29 Tunnan "Flying Barrell" and its similarity with the forgotten Messerschmitt P.1101

The USA was not the only state that used Nazi engineers and researchers to make new aircraft and other weapons. During, the late WWII German engineers created many radical solutions for aviation. The most well-known of those things were the Me-163 rocket fighter, He-163 and Me-262 jet fighters, Arado Ar-234 "Blitz" A-4 (V-2) rocket, and Fi-103 flying bomb, or the first cruise missiles.

The ME-262 was not the only German jet fighter and there was more than one less well-known concept and prototype that showed the path to next-generation aviation. Flying wings like Go-229 still, today influence the development of flying-wing aircraft. The list of those prototypes is very long. And some of them were not even produced. The lack of metal and gasoline forced German researchers to find alternative ways to lift off and fly. One of the answers was a carbon-burning jet engine.

German researchers developed many famous jet fighters along with Americans and Canadians in the late 1940s and early 1950s. A famous rocket engineer Wernher von Braun developed the Saturn V moon rocket. While he worked with Americans. That man worked with a V-2 (A-4) rocket during WWII.

But the truth about the Nazi cooperation after WWII is much larger than we even think. The jet fighters and other kinds of stuff were interested in the Soviet Union. So some nazi developers worked under the control of the red army (KGB) for Tupolev and other design bureaus. And many other nations like Argentina were interested in hiring German engineers to operate in their air force transfer to the jet and space age.

One of the countries that used Nazi research to build their jet fighter was Sweden. Swedish Air Force wanted a new, modern jet fighter. So, Saab Aircraft Corporation introduced the Saab J-29 Tunnan "Flying Barrell" to the Swedish Air Force. That plane was a very big success. But there was one thing that somebody forgot to tell. That plane was very similar to Messerschmitt P.1101. The similarity between those planes is easy to notice. Some people might say. The Saab J-29 Tunnan was a copy of the German WWII concept.

The Me P.1101 didn't ever fly under German control. The thing that this project was made was Saab J-29. The leader of the P.1101 project was Dr. Woldemar Voigt. The big question was how much work Voigt made for Swedish during the Saab J-29 project.

The project began so near the end of the war. That developers didn't have time to make prototypes. There were a couple of table models. That they introduced to Goering. But the Me P.1101 was never flown. The P.1101 is an interesting concept. There is a model that the channel where the jet engine was equipped with a rifled ion channel.

That ion channel should make the ion flow in the exhaust gas. That should destroy enemy aircraft. The idea was that the Me P.1101 created the positive ion flow and then the radio system loads a negative polar electric load to allied aircraft. That should pull those ions to the bombers. But that system was too radical even for people like me. Dr. Woldemar Voigt, Dr. Alexander Lippisch, and Dr. Willy Messerschmitt created many radical aircraft concepts.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to form the blue giant or too small it can collapse straight into a black hole . If the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts. The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists model of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

"New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
