Was watching Nazi Mega Weapons episode about the German type 21 submarine developed at the very end of the war.

If that was put into operation two years earlier, they would have owned the Atlantic. Incredible forward thinking machine.

I don’t doubt that coal dust could be used as a fuel, nor that the proposed engine wouldn’t work, but I seriously doubt that the craft could carry enough coal for more than a few minutes of flight time.

Is it bizarre that this thing looks like the vehicle mode used by Decepticons jets before they came to Earth?

Hmmm...

The question is what did we do with the Lippisch Delta after we got it, ;-).

It would work, the Verhees Delta proved it..

Coal-fired? Amazing some of the things the Germans came up with.
