About the Canada Aviation Museum He-162, they had two and echanged one of them in 2006 to Guy Black in UK, with a WW1 engine (for his airworthy DH9 restoration), for a WW1 Bristol Fighter F.2B.

It sure would be. The view must be incredible. At least it was on MS Flight Sim!

Heck, I never realized it had a turbojet engine. Dumb question but, where did it go and what was it's purpose (additional thrust, gearbox to prop, etc.)?

Powerplant:
One Mitsubishi [Ha-43] 12 (MK9D) eighteen-cylinder air-cooled radial, rated at 2,130 hp for take-off, 2,020 hp at 1,180 m and 1,160 hp at 8,700 m, driving a six-blade metal pusher propeller (J7W1).
One 900 kg thrust Ne-130 axial-flow turbojet (J7W2).

Do they have two?

If not, it has moved on to the UK.

A little quirk of this design: one of the first aircraft with an ejectable seat. Worked well at ejecting the stranded pilot... right into the mouth of the jet engine waiting above the rear of the cockpit !!! :shock:

Not very popular with the young pilots of the day apparently :roll:

Peter, yellow 4 is actually the one that was exchanged by the NAM !

Gary, the second version J7W2 simply did away with the piston engine & went for a turbine.

Heavily modified airframe of the same base design. A bit like Saab did with the J-21

Do not know if the prototype was ever built however

I thought the He-162 was a popular aircraft and handled well? Ive often dreamed of somebody creating 6 or 7 new ones. Heck, maybe we'd even see a few modified ones running around the pylons at Reno? :twisted:

I wonder what a stretched TF-162 would look like?

Seriously though, a replica He-162 would be an easy build compared to some other projects. Probably would be a great flyer considering it's size.

Here are some pics I shot of the He-162 in storage in Ottawa in July, 2007. Interestingly, although most of the paint is original Luftwaffe, you can see where the original markings were overpainted with RAF roundels, which were then overpainte again with faux German insignia. The engine wasn't with the rest of the airframe..I assume it's in storage elswhere?
