information:

The Arado E.381 (Kleinstjäger – "smallest fighter") was a proposed parasite fighter aircraft. Conceived by Arado Flugzeugwerke in December 1944 for Germany's Luftwaffe during World War II, the E.381 was to have been carried aloft by and launched from an Arado Ar 234 "mother" aircraft. It would then have activated its rocket engine, which would have propelled it to attack Allied (mainly American and British) bombers. Development was cancelled due to lack of funds and official support.
There were three proposed variants; each had fuel capacity for only two target runs, after which the pilot would have been required to glide without power to a landing on underbelly skids. To survive close pursuits, the E.381 was designed with the narrowest frontal cross-section possible to increase its chances of surviving shots from the front. This also forced the pilot to lie in a prone position. The cross-section was 0.45 square meters (4.8 sq ft), or approximately a quarter of the cross-section of the Messerschmitt Bf 109.

all images provided are from the I variant

#

actually no nvm the image of the cross section is of the II

#

the image of the blueprints is for the I

This one is great, we so need it.

#

and there aren't any for the III

#

Might be an issue that it does not have landing gear.

feral ravine
#

it has a ski

#

keyword, a ski, good luck landing that

analog inlet
#

So I've been suggesting the P.13a which alsso has a ski and is airdropped, and Aussie said he was not sure if that could be added.

#

Since no self propelled takeoff and no actual landing gear.

@viscid crane this aircraft has a landing gear

#

stop

#

end of story

feral ravine
#

is it actually possible to hire someone on the dev team to model an aircraft or would that count as "bribery"

#

like genuinely just

#

hire them

viscid crane
#

dont know but probably not a good idea

hasty shell
feral ravine
#

i'm LITERALLY not

#

this is directly related to the suggestion

#

😭

#

i should probably just ask a dev that has a little bit of free time on their hands to model this, it shouldn't be that hard as long as i'm not obnoxious about it

#

and don't harrass anyone like last time sweating_cat

hasty shell
feral ravine
#

none of ya business

hasty shell
#

k then
