Ta183 vs Vampire

[Soren]

I had no clue you worked on the B-2 davparlr and I don't recall recieving a PM about it. Had I known I obviously wouldn't have wrote what I wrote, wouldn't have made any sense to do so. I respect you davparlr, always have, you know a lot and appreciate all you can contribute with which I know is a lot.

I still don't see why Northrop would sent designers over to look at the Go-229 if not to learn. davparlr didn't explain why they were sent there, which is all I was asking for. Call that being rude if you want but I can't really see how it ever could be. Had he said before my post that he went to look at the Go-229 with the others and then explained why, then my repsonse could've been considered rude, but he didn't, and as I understand it he wasn't one of the guys who were sent out to look at the Go-229.

I will apologize if I have offended him in any way though.

Don't jump to conclusions, it makes you look like an ass...

It was back in the Ccrump discussions on EAS. Its fine if you don't remember, I may not even have sent it correctly. Anyway, I can now see why you thought I was attacking you.

I have always enjoyed our discussions and have learned a lot from you, even if I didn't want to.

Anyway, I was always more impressed by the Me-P1101 than by the Ta-183.

Yes me too. I always wondered why the Ta 183 got more attention than the P 1101 even though the latter was actually built...

I've seen an article somewhere on the influence the Ta 183 had on the MiG-15. Apparently it seems to have been rather superficial as Butters claimed. Both are based on the same German late-war aerodynamical data and theories but there was no such thing as a direct influence. The T-tail may seem the connection but then again, there were several jet aircraft with T-tails, it's only a logical possible configuration for a jet aircraft.
