spread ten asters; lads gear pertiallg retractable (into the wings);
poor landing visibility; ant in the nose - two heavy machine g+nns and
one automatic cennoa; this model evidently designed for civilian apd mill-
try ass.
Designed r art$m Is Miksnyaa; One jet engine; the most recently constructed
type in the US MI the part in front of the cockpit has as oval cross-section;
engine is in the middle eectton a little in front of the wing Attach nt;
jet engine probably of the centrifugal compressor type in view of fact that
dimensions of the nose are relatively large; engine probably derived from
tinglieh proto/ype; air Intake in lower part of nose; cockpit extremely far
forward; should have good visibility; rear section of fuselage extremely
light; its cross section also oral; rudder is triangular in slaps; elevators
are placed high; wing surface greatly reduced. with the addition of landing
surface to be used at low speedy (sic); the Most recent and fastest type; no more
details known.

'Sig, speed experimental plans; designed end built by the Germans in Germany
between 1944 and 1945. but never used ray them; engine, when constructed in
the USSd, was designed in two wsays, a) with two air intakes in the flanks of
the fuselage, b) with one, air intake in the nose; engine pl&oedin the body
of the plans behind the cockpit; cockpit in line with the wing attachment;
cockpit covered with plastic canoes, very low, and probably equipped. with
a compressor; this type being used in efforts to achieve supersonic speeds;
no other details available.
i
A light bomber; two jet engines located in the central body below the wing
surface; axial engines derived from the Jumo 004/1+ (Junkers); dimensions of
body such as to indicate possibility of addition of supplementary jets;
bombardier's position in nose of fuselage; defense poets towards the rear;
crew of four or five; wings form a pronounced V; instruments of a conventional
type.
8.
Heavy bomber; four axial jet engines placed below the wing surface; engines
placed at a good distance from the central body. with the advantage of
stability, but sanrifieing equilibrium if one of the engines ceases to
function; cockpit in nose of plans, supplied with compressed air; side
landing gear retractable into the wings; central landing gear is placed
sideways in the central body; this model in general a perfect cow of one
of-the most recent American types, which one is not known.

Derived from the 7-84 (Thunderjet) of the US Air force; speed reported to be
1050 km; one report indicates single axial engine based on I'-84 engine;
