Designed r art$m Is Miksnyaa; One jet engine; the most recently constructed type in the US MI the part in front of the cockpit has as oval cross-section; engine is in the middle eectton a little in front of the wing Attach nt; jet engine probably of the centrifugal compressor type in view of fact that dimensions of the nose are relatively large; engine probably derived from tinglieh proto/ype; air Intake in lower part of nose; cockpit extremely far forward; should have good visibility; rear section of fuselage extremely light; its cross section also oral; rudder is triangular in slaps; elevators are placed high; wing surface greatly reduced. with the addition of landing surface to be used at low speedy (sic); the Most recent and fastest type; no more details known. 6. Z 'Sig, speed experimental plans; designed end built by the Germans in Germany between 1944 and 1945. but never used ray them; engine, when constructed in the USSd, was designed in two wsays, a) with two air intakes in the flanks of the fuselage, b) with one, air intake in the nose; engine pl&oedin the body of the plans behind the cockpit; cockpit in line with the wing attachment; cockpit covered with plastic canoes, very low, and probably equipped. with a compressor; this type being used in efforts to achieve supersonic speeds; no other details available. i A light bomber; two jet engines located in the central body below the wing surface; axial engines derived from the Jumo 004/1+ (Junkers); dimensions of body such as to indicate possibility of addition of supplementary jets; bombardier's position in nose of fuselage; defense poets towards the rear; crew of four or five; wings form a pronounced V; instruments of a conventional type. 8. Heavy bomber; four axial jet engines placed below the wing surface; engines placed at a good distance from the central body. with the advantage of stability, but sanrifieing equilibrium if one of the engines ceases to function; cockpit in nose of plans, supplied with compressed air; side landing gear retractable into the wings; central landing gear is placed sideways in the central body; this model in general a perfect cow of one of-the most recent American types, which one is not known. ., 3 9. IMMIX Derived from the 7-84 (Thunderjet) of the US Air force; speed reported to be 1050 km; one report indicates single axial engine based on I'-84 engine; second report indicates use of Seas. turbo-jet system.
