spacesailor Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The boffins must have been pretty good to get the Navigation for the distance traveled, windage included. As well as the fuel cutout. At the intended target. spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 With a speed of 400 mph, over 100 to 150 miles, wind effects would not push the V1 way off target, especially when the target was not a specific site, but a whole urban area. The idea of the V1 was terror, not precision targetting. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 They made candle powered Putt Putt little boats that used a similar theory when I was small but it was steam that it used. . Wonder what that one sounds like? Think the dyna Jet would have a higher efflux speed and run hotter ='s more efficiency. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
