Description
The Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Huckebein (Hunchback) was a design for a jet-powered fighter aircraft intended as the successor to the Messerschmitt Me 262 and other day fighters in Luftwaffe service during World War II. It was developed only to the extent of wind tunnel models when the war ended, but the basic design was further developed post-war in Argentina as the FMA Pulqui II. The name Huckebein is a reference to a trouble-making comic strip raven.

what an odd little jet
for some reason I don't trust it... I wouldn't want to fly that
Agreed. The tail needs some MAJOR redesigning.
Yeah there was a fatal mistake in the aircraft design
Experiment Aircraft from the Germans? Germans made a bunch of experimental planes back in the days.
yeah it is.. and it also the Inspiration of the MiG15
And the F-86 Sabre as well. Hell early prototypes of the Mig 15 were noted to use reverse engineered German wire guided missiles on UFOs over Kapustin Yar in 1948 as well. The same missiles as seen on these German prototypes.
O_0 so really awesome and strange thing that went on back then really worth the effort to research it all as you never know what you are gona find.
