could anyone make the Blomn & Voss BV-38 that's also apearing in a Indiana Jones movie? it looks kinda kewl

[Reisenkaze]

You mean the BV-138 right? :lol:

I think a team may do it, not likely sadly though since it's a fictional plane I believe. Not far off from BV to create though. Oh that lovely 141.

[nzwilliam]

Ah the BV-141...now there's an odd looking plane! ...Blohm & Voss had some interesting designs.

I have that in my "Worlds worst aircraft" by Jim Winchester. It has lots of weird planes

[Reisenkaze]

World's worst? It was the world's best observation and recon plane of it's time. Such great visibility in that thing.


Back OT, I'm not even sure what the load out would be on a BV-38. All I know is that the props can be used to turn bald men into red mist... :lol:

[jak24610]

Looks pretty safe to bail out of...

[XB-49]

Check my sig to see a BV-38. It's a work of fiction and it won't be of any use to this sim but R/C models of it have flown. And as Aligheri said it looks kind of cool. Support for any modder who wants to make it.

Blohm & Voss BV-38

Affiliation: Luftwaffe Top Speed: 550 KM/H

Function: Long Range Transport Crew: 2 (1 gunner, 1 pilot)

Wingspan: 19 Meters Weapons: 2 30mm MK 108 machine cannons, Twin MG-15 machine guns


Designed and built in the utmost secrecy for the Luftwaffe, this long range aircraft was designed to fill many roles. Configured in this case for cargo transport, it could also be outfitted as a fighter-bomber capable of striking targets throughout Europe. It's unique designand large fuel tanksallowed it to travel immense distances without landing to refuel, freeing it from the logistical constraints of of other transport aircraft, and making it ideal for the transportation of sensitive cargo, like the Ark of the Covenant, between the Middle East and Berlin.

The 141 was indeed great, ugly, but great. It's unsymmetrical design countered the torque effect.

Captain Eric Brown found a Bv141 in Germany that had been kept airworthy after following hints made by a surrendered luftwaffe bod. The russian commissar allowed him to fly it seeing as the thing was going to be scrapped before long, and in typically Russian fashion, told him to remain in sight of the airfield (russian flying was closely regulated and local flights were always made close enough to the airfield to land in the event of engine trouble or whatever). Captain Brown wasn't overly impressed with it. Nothing especially bad, it was just a mediocre flyer.

He has a number of books to his credit, but they are fraught with incorrect information. Not a reliable resource, I'm afraid.

[Bombsaway]

Now you know where Lucas got the idea for the Millium Falcon.

[godzyla]

For french persons, ther's a magazine calles A

[European Snake]

I say we go all out for the 238

[Guest]

No, he means this plane.



For those of you who don't know about the subject, I'll explain. This is the flying wing from Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Arc. It has been nick-named the Bv 38, but is a totally fictional plane. It was used in the movie to show the advanced aeronautical state of Nazi Germany. Historical? No... Fun to have and fly in the sim? Yes...

[Guest]

Ah, even better if someone wants to go through with this.



That, gents, would be the original design drawing for the movie, or at least a scan of it.
