LostCosmonaut Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just looking real quick, it looks like there were some attempts to turbocharge the DB 605/603/601 engines, along with the Jumo 222, but they don't appear to have ever gone anywhere. I'm guessing Germany would have had severe difficulty producing turbocharged engines due to a lack of materials (similar to the issues their jet engines had).

Collimatrix Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Evolution of Air Target Warheads This is a very good, very accessible article about improvements in the warheads of air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles. Executive summary: the warheads have gotten a lot better. There have been five generational improvements in air target warhead technology, and this article gives a pretty good rundown on how they all work. This also suggests that future air to air missiles could be a lot smaller in the future, since they could heft smaller warheads while retaining the same lethality. This may give some insight into the thinking behind the Lockheed Martin CUDA. Belesarius, Domus Acipenseris and Ramlaen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
