In 1945, as the Allies were overrunning Germany, many amazing discoveries were made, from torture camps, to fantastic aircraft. They included many amazing designs, such as VTOL aircraft, jets, flying rammers, etc... The Focke-Wulf Ta-183 was Kurt Tank's answer to the Luftwaffe's request for a high-power single-seat jet fighter capable of carrying 30mm cannons, air-to-air missiles, and a variety of other payloads. In the end, the aircraft never got off paper. Some say, though, that the advancing Russians got the blueprints, and took them to Moscow. After many years of tweaking and changing, the Ta-183 finally took to the air, called the MiG-15!! The Luft '46 Project is proud to present a rendering of the Ta-183 that has been in the works for several years, now!
