QuoteXB-70 with downward wingtips. This phenomenon allowed the XB-70 to effectively "capture" the shockwave generated by its own supersonic flight into usable lift. This form of compression lift decreased the induced drag of the XB-70 by around 20-30%

Too high an angle on the landing.  The landing gear will go through those wings some time.

Good thing they never tried it in real life then.

Actually, iirc, the nasalized version of the Stuka would have beefed-up landing gear from it's land-based brethren, with much longer travel on the oleos and the ability to be jettisoned in case of water landing. The naval Stuka would also have been equipped with giant flotation bladders that would deploy to keep the plane afloat for several days.





Looks a bit like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, don't 'e?

There was also a modified version of the Bf 109E-3 produced and known as the 109T (Trager) for use on the Graf Zeppelin. These included increased wing span and manually folding wings amongst other things. they were later used by I/JG 77 after much of the deck equipment had been removed. This unit operated from Norway apparently.

No doubt the short take-off ability and probable cold-weather survival upgrades would have suited operating among the Fjords. They didn't use the Norwegian Blue Parrot as unit insignia by any chance?
