Description
The Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Huckebein 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 postwar in Argentina as the FMA Pulqui II. The name Huckebein is a reference to a trouble-making raven (Hans Huckebein der Unglücksrabe) from an illustrated story in 1867 by Wilhelm Busch.In this illustration we see two Ta-183s of JG-7 "Nowotny" maybe around 1946, had Nazi Germany lasted for so long of course. They are both carrying Ruhrstahl X-4 missiles under the wings.

Nicely done. There was an even more advanced delta wing jet in the wind tunnel model phase at the end of WWII. That airframe was capable of supersonic flight. After the war the Americans confiscated the models, but pics do exist as I have seen them. Off hand I don't remember the manufacturer or the designation, but it had a slightly rounded nose and smooth transition between the delta wing and the fuselage. Both of these would have aided stability in the transonic flight envelope. Beautiful piece of engineering design even if it were presented today.

I've seen drawings of this a/c. It had one of the oddest looking vertical stabilizers I believe I've ever seen.

Didn't the Swedes design a jet fighter based loosely on this a/c? For some reason, I seem to recall that Saab had designed a fighter that looked quite a lot like this one.

Thanks. I will say this for the RSAF (Royal Swedish Air Force), they never had a problem with unique a/c. The Drakken and The Viggen are two designs that come to my mind when I think of Saab fighters. It's too bad the USAF and USN fear unusual designs. I'm still shocked at the fact that the USAF accepted the B-2 design. It's so. . .unconventional.

I believe Argentina built something quite similar to it, so technically it existed. This is an excellent piece, also.

That's right, they built the IAe 33 Pulqui II, with the help of Kurt Tank, the original designer of Focke Wulf. The IAe 33 Pulqui II was actually a better version of Ta-183! Thank you for the comment!

Way beyond COOL.. Oh, please do more like this my friend, I love it..
Didn't sound very knowledgeable there but, this led to other designs in many Countries..

I love drawings of concept aircraft like this! It makes you ask "what if?" And that's why I love alternate history art!

They are surely fascinating images these "what if" ones!!!

interesting pic and story, i did not know that Tank went to Argentina, nor that Horten and Dewoitine went there too.

For Dewoitine I didn´t know it either!!! Thanks!!

For some reason, this makes me think there is a giant plane chasing down a tiny plane... I know it isn't, but my eyes are playing with my perception.

When I saw the title, my first thought was Pops from Ace Combat 5. Then I read the description. Those definitely look like if Germany were to enter the 1950s Korean War.
