Junkers Ju 87 future mod


Recommended Posts

Hi All. Although not a great fan of the Ju 87, I was wondering if the glass cockpit floor panel will be fitted for target recognition in some future mod ?

 

I was reading recently about tests carried out on captured Ju 87 at Farnborough during the war, by test pilot Eric "Winkle" Brown RN of which he said  " I have flown and tested many dive bombers but it was the only one I could dive vertically and with its automatic dive recovery system engaged at bomb release it was in a class of its own"

 

Many pilots disengaged the auto recovery system saying that it allowed the enemy ground flack to predict the the Ju 87's recovery pattern and height !

 

 

Cheers.   JM.

 

 

 

note.  Only two intact  Ju 87's survive,   [1] Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago and [2] The Royal Air Force Museum, London.

The viewing window already works - via the 'bomb bay doors toggle' command.
