Are there recent new additions, or the same stuff you have had there for a
while?

Nice page, by the way.

Mostly minor additions. Example: the source documents at the end of the
Annex now shows the January 06 cover of the Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine
that now is the latest magazine coverage of the Hustler. Even "yours truly"
is quoted in it. The Association home page link no longer works
(senioritis, I guess) Stuff like that.

Nice page!

What are the jobs of the crew (forward to aft) . Logical that the
skipper is in the forward compartment- what are the jobs of the guys in
the next two compartments? Did this airplane have ejection seats?

I think I had a model of this airplane when I was a kid. Always liked
the looks of the Hustler.

Discussed on his site.

Also discussed on his site.

Nice site and nice Lippisch delta rip-off like the F-102/106.

Rob

Rob,

Not to take a single thing away from Dr. Lissisch, but to suggest every
delta is a rip-off of his work is to suggest that any aircraft is a
rip-off of anything with a similar planaform. To follow that same
arguement, you end up with a Pitts biplane being a rip-off of the
Wright Flyer; they both being biplanes.

Son of a gun . . . just found the typo . . . sorry . . . meant to write
Dr. Lippisch. My apologies.

John

Sorry John,

You mean well, but you are absolutely wrong in this case. ALL of
Convair's deltas were based on Dr. Lippisch's P.13A and Dr. Lippisch
himself was a consultant for Convair postwar in the US which led the
company to build the XF-92, F-102, F-106, and B-58.
Dr.Lippisch then went to Collins with his aerodyne proposals and then
on to WIG aircraft development.
The man was a true aviation pioneer but contrary to popular belief
Roland Payen was actually the King of Deltas, although he is seldom
credited for his impressive visionary designs, the majority never built
except for his Flechair which was captured by the Nazis in France and
flown back to Germany for evaluation. It was sadly destroyed in a
bombing raid. The Japanese also planned to deploy a Payen design under
the Sukukaze 20 OMAR which was never built. And to top it off, Payen
pre-war was working on a fighter design that would utilize a ramjet-
the Melot ramjet that ultimately failed.
Imagine if the ramjet worked and Payen got the funding to build ramjet
fighters before 1940.

Rob

p.s. Interesting story on the captured Flechair. It was untested when
the Luftwaffe pilot came to fly it back to Germany. No one told him and
yet the arrogant pilot just jumped into the experimental plane and DID
fly it all the way back to Germany. The French expected him to crash
but he didn't!!!
