What did they mean by this?

>Rear wheel drive vs. front wheel drive
It's an obvious choice, really.

The same thing the USA meant with the XP-55 and the swedes meant with the SAAB 21.

Prove to me putting the propeller backwards isn't a meme.

Was it autism?

It lets you have a more aerodynamic nose so you can go faster.
>Was it autism?
Isn't any kind of engineering autism?

>It lets you have a more aerodynamic nose so you can go faster.
[citation needed]

Prop in front means airspeed over fuselage is higher than actual airspeed because the prop is also pushing the air backward, leading to extra drag. Prop in the back doesn't have that problem.

sounds like made up autism to me

If putting the prop on the rear made the plane go faster why didn't America or Germany use it on all of their planes? They were much more advanced. Especially Germany.

Aerospace student here. I mean... yeah
Tail will always be pretty un-aerodynamic what with the tail, wing trailing edges, etc.
An un-aerodynamic front just creates a shitton of drag.

Now, the Do-335 pusher/puller? THAT was autism.

It’s a lot harder to design. The american XP-55 had serious stablility issues.
>Germany
>More advanced
Who won the war?

Nobody did for real because the flight characteristics of a front-mounted engine with a mid-mounted wing and aft-mounted empennage were well understood and those of experimental configurations were not, which is why they were experimental.

Germany only lost because of Russian human waves and hordes of American Ronson tanks.

>losing to peasants and dollar store tanks

German """superiority"""

*pilot blacks out*

>sounds like made up autism to me
And your posts sounds like a teenager trying desperately to piece together an identity and find somewhere to fit in.

The pusher prop has aerodynamic advantages, but it also has issues with cooling, pilot bail out, and a few question marks regarding flight characteristics. To some degree these could have been fixed, but since the jet engine showed up before anyone got very far with it we never got to see how far the idea could really be taken.

>ass thunder

Spoken like a true know nothing.

Japan didn't know how to make good planes.

>Ronson
Underage wehraboo faggot who got all his knowledge from the """History""" Channel detected.

The Krauts couldn't have possibly called them that, because Ronson didn't start using the slogan in question until the 1950s. Also, gasoline vs diesel fuel in tanks is irrelevant, what causes tanks to catch fire is the ammunition, not the fuel. Once wet ammunition storage was introduced, fires dropped by almost 3/4, making it one of the if not the least flammable tank on the battlefield.

but germany did in fact they said fuck it and did both

the j7 was a good design, it was an interceptor that had 30mm cannons for destroying american bombers and due to its autistic design layout it had a high degree of altitude climbing for fast response.

they forgot they couldnt into manufacturing though so they ate shit like germany

>they forgot they couldnt into manufacturing though so they ate shit like germany
More like they tried to make a large number of different wonder weapons at the same time and never completed any of them because their resources were spread too thin, just like Germany.

more like "Charlie Chaplin's" hair brained schemes/ideas, lack of standardization for armor and aircraft, put too much faith in their enigma codes ect ect ect.....

they ended the war with half their navy in port and were unable to manufacture everything from new carriers to ki84s to replace zeros. they had much less mumbo jumbo 1337 weapons than germany but they were an island with no natural resources to work with. its like if britain didnt have the U.S. supply them with everything.

PLZ recall that the M-4 was a Medium, infantry support tank and it did quite well against NAZI medium tanks and that the M4-76mm could KO a Panther, that there were only four M4 vs Tiger meet-ups. ALSO that the M4 was introduced in 1941 and by 1945 29,000 had been produced

Oyyyy

Pusher props are less efficient because they don't push the air over the fuselage which provides lift

>propellers stay still, cockpit rotates at 6000 rpm

>were unable to manufacture everything from new carriers to ki84s to replace zeros
Yes, but if they had focused on the development of one new fighter instead of a number of different projects they might have got something at least close to competitive before their production capacity broke down completely.
Also the Ki-84 was never meant to replace the Zero, it's not a naval fighter.

the navy did not have a suitable replacement for the zero ready for mass production, japan's navy was sunk by this time as well so a navy fighter would be worthless over the ki84 wich could be based in Japan. they honestly didnt have that intruding number of projects.the j7 was justified as superfortresses were literally raping them to death and the ki84 and what remaining zeros they had couldnt pack enough punch to take them down in effective quantities

dumb frogposter

hahaha dumb ameriboos

history is written by the victors

ronsons couldn't kill a single german tank without forcing it to run out of ammo

Yeah, they'd have a new fighter ready to roll off the line just in time for American strategic bomber raids to burn the factories and everything near them to ash. The Japanese had trouble getting the right steel and other metals to make high performance aircraft engines, so even with a revolutionary design the aircraft would have lagged behind the Allies in performance.

I would also like to add that Germany had catastrophic project focus compared to every other nation. despite having designs and vehicles that were able to effectively combat allied designs, they never settled on anything and just kept pumping out "miracles" till berlin got t boned. Japan had projects to develop platforms that worked for various situations as any nation did. Germany built anything that anyone with an opinion so much as drew on a paper. nothing Japan did was on the level of the v1 and v2 rocket programs, over-engineering every vehicle despite having the most stressed resources of the European theater. turning the me-262 into a bomber, mass producing catastrophically bad tank hulls of a vehicle that wouldn't even win the tiger contract bid, actually building the maus TWICE, and having special snowflake gear and parts for every single thing they ever made.

Pusher props have serious cooling issues for the engines.
The B-36 had this problem.
