  • Just to let you know, the V1's didn't sound like a jet engine. They sounded like a pulse jet. Which is what they are. It sounds like a really fast fart. Not a turbo.

  • @projackedreality This was the safest way to deal with a V1. If they shot it, the explosion was so large it could easily take out the plane.

  • Whoever spent all this time doing this re-creation obviously didn't do any research into these historical events........The sound of a Pulse-Jet, the Diameter of a Spitfires propeller..........My guess it was a little boy, playing with his dads' computer & toying around with the new software.

  • Film is nice but wrong showed tactics. British airplanes was changin direction of V-1 flight by hit underside its wing to above. Not vice versa.

  • Very nice video!

    But the diameter of the propeller is wrong - it's way too small!

  • They WERE sometimes shot down, and the pilots could not avoid flying strait through the explosion. Those that did, were stunned to find that when they came out the other side, they were upside down. They later realized that in the centre of explosion location, there was such thin air pressure on the wings that the torque of the engine was able to rotate the plane over.

  • @sikasabu the negative g-issue was fixed after 1944 and after that all v-1 were powered til impact

  • Awesome, but why not just shoot it down and avoid the hazard of killing someone?

    whatever lol great vid! :)

  • That v1 missile still killed people

  • @repzyree Thank you for the information.

    Wow, it is new perspective!

    You mean Argus As 014 plus jet engine did not have fuel injection system. And it stopped by negative gravity that was produced by descending V1.

    Now, I have three hypotheses. The engine was stopped mechanically, fuel out or negative gravity.

    Hmmmm…which is the true?
