p.s. Please note that the LSP series does not just deal with paper
projects, but all prop, jet, and rocket projects with photos of
prototypes and/or diagrams, drawings, schematics, etc... even prototype
armaments and engines
History:
The FW-190TL was one of the earliest Focke-Wulf jet projects. This 1941
design is based on a standard FW-190 fighter powered with a FW T.1
turbojet (600kg) in place of the BMW piston engine. The jet comprised a
two-stage radial compressor, single-stage turbine and an annualar
combustion chamber. The exhaust passed through as annular outlet
running around the circumference of the fuselage. Development was
discontinued in 1942.
FW.190 Turbojet data:
Length.........8.84m
Span............10.5m
Wing area....18.3sq.m
Max. speed..760km/h at sea level,
830km/h at 9,000m
Endurance..1hour 12 min.

You don't understand jet engines, do you?
Looks almost like someone decided to make the front look like the
Caproni-Campini CC-2, and forgot about the exhaust.
Rob
Hey Steve,
The Coanda Turbine Aeroplane predates the CC-2 by 3 decades (1910 vs
1940) and it had a 50 hp engine driving an obturator that sucked in air
into combustion burners that blew hot exhaust aft over the fuselage
body enough to generate lift for the biplane. It was a thermal jet just
like the CC-2... and the world's first purpose designed jet aircraft.
Again, how can you not understand an annular exhaust ring with the
Fw-190TL T-1 engine???
Rob
You really need psychiatric help b/c you are one sick bastard.
Your ignorant little brain can't comprehend a simple TEST aircraft with
a TEST engine from 1941-42.
The point is that from scratch Focke-Wulf came up with a SIMPLE
centrifugal turbojet and would have had designs for more had they not
been too busy cranking out Fw-190s which numbered 20,000 by war's end.
Heinrich Focke, if you knew his biography, had a 1939 patent for a VTOL
circular a/c called the Fw Schnellflugzeug Rochen which was proposed to
be driven by a turboshaft engine. Focke did not pursue the design due
to the early development problems with the German jets; however,
Focke-Wulf proved they could come up with a jet engine of their own and
had the need arisen for jet 190s or OTHER Fw designs, Focke-Wulf could
have manufactured their own engines at that point in time.
BTW, had Coanda been a pilot when his Turbine Aeroplane started to move
forward as he adjusted the engine then that a/c might have actually
flown in 1910 and then we would have had turbojet biplanes in WW1!
Nevertheless, we can thank God for that disaster b/c it was with the
Turbine Aeroplane that Coanda made his famous discovery- the "Coanda
Effect" by observing the exhaust following the contours of the
fuselage.
Stop be such a hateful old degenerate and remember to take your meds.

I have noticed that almost everyone seems to be quite rude.
Such immature behavior.
All the name calling and buzz-wording.
Taunting.
Vulgar language.
Conduct very unbecoming.
I am not amused.
So,
The Betty Grabel movie is canceled.
You will all report to the mess tent for KP.
You might use this as an opportunity to study your lives,
What kind of man do you think you are?

Mess Sergeant, take charge.

Logic would dictate that if you cannot find an exhaust port anywhere
else on that aircraft than the engine HAS to have an ANNULAR exhaust,
especially if it is nose mounted as the thrust HAS to move aft to
generate lift for the wings.
DUH???
Have you even seen Coanda's 1910 Turbine Aeroplane?
I doubt it, because then you could have put 2+2 together and the little
light bulb would have went off in your cranium...

You're new in these parts, aren't you?
Hang around for a while, get some exposure to Arndt and his frothings.
Before you know it, *you'll* be leading the jeering section.

Probably more like "entering coordinates"...
I guess I thought "we" were more evolved, I guess.
It's rather disappointing, is all.

Hey, Rob!
I understand HOW, but don't understand WHY? WHY should they disturb
pilot's view by hot gases from annylar exhaust ring - especially in
fighter aircraft?
BTW all jets are 'thermal'. A little nitpick only...
Rob
Frank,
A few major errors in your reply:
1) This was not a Luftwaffe '46 project at all since it was started in
1941 and ended in 1942 (cancelled)
2) The Fw-190 aircraft WAS modified, its BMW piston engine removed and
the Fw T1 turbojet mounted. So it was a real machine, the Fw-190 TL.
Maybe you are thinking of the Me-109TL instead?
3) Fw had MANY designs that could have utilized the Jumo 004B which is
what the POSTWAR Yak-15 of 1946 was flying on. The RD-10 was a Soviet
copy of the Jumo 004B... so WHAT are you talking about? How could the
Germans get an idea in 1941 from a postwar 1946 a/c that was using
German war technology???
Rob
If you don't know how a system works ask or look it it up. In a
turbojet air enters through the intake, is compressed (not
supercompressed), enters the combustion chamber(s)where it is mixed with
fuel and ignited then exits through turbine blades which spin the
compressor blades and out the exhaust.
Fuel ignited "in the rear" is called afterburner or reheat.
Rob
You clearly don't know what the hell you are talking about and you dare
to tell ME of all people about a Luftwaffe paper project!!! That is
unbelievable in the extreme.
Not my fault you tried to compare a 1941-42 actual project to the
postwar Yak-15 which used a German engine copy (RD-10)!!!
That's all you buddy... blame yourself.
Rob
Right, totally believable shuffle. You blew it, admit it.
Rob, I know what turbojet is and what Coanda aeroplane was (I saw a
replica in Bucharest). Believe me - all jets/fanjets/ramjets/scramjets
etc. work in some thermodynamic cycle, hence all are 'thermal'.
Rob
p.s. How would you also describe an endothermic engine? This was
proposed by the Nazis as well as a cold exhaust engine with variable
nozzle. That is not a turbojet either as the cold exhaust would have
been a mix of air and chemical reactions inside a hollow chamber and
pressure squeezed through a variable nozzle at the tip of the fuselage.
Go ahead an explain how that would qualify as a turbo (short for
turbine) jet...
