Hi guys
Everybody knows who Alexander Lippisch was, right? The aerodynamics pioneer with all those "crazy" design ideas.
What probably no one knows is that we was big in Japan (and not the Alphaville kind!
)
So, the Japanese Air Force did some experiments with the Lippiscsh Delta design, having for base a Zero fighter.
After the surrender of Japan, the americans brought the prototype back to the US and conducted some more tests.
Now imagine a beautiful backup story based on the above lines!!! :)
In the meanwhile, please find below my vision of those events.
The inspiration...
The donor kit...
The needed surgery...
The culprit...
And the quasi-final assembly...
Thanks for watching, and keep safe!
