Lots of weird stuff there... take a look at the "Fw 190 V19 Special" and
the "Me 262 W1". But the weirdest (IMO) is that "Fw 190 Jet"... Where the
hell is the exhaust supposed to be?

Good question! At first I thought it was a high-bypass turbofan, but
like you said it doesn't appear to have an exhaust therefore I can
only surmise it's a ducted fan?

The "Fw 190 Jet" was a short-lived Focke-Wulf project in 1942. The radial
turbojet engine was in the nose and used an annular exhaust running around
the fuselage circumference in front of the wing leading edge.

The project was abandoned before a prototype was built, obviously because
purpose-designed jet fighters promised far better performance.


I think these guys are taking the Luft '46 thing too far...

Most of the designs on that web page were real German wartime projects (not
necessarily actually built, of course).
