Here is the Heinkel P1079, a twin-jet night fighter designed at the end of the Second World War, equipped with sweptback wings and a butterfly tail… a design both advanced and realistic. Included are five grayscale drawings taken from a postwar US Army Technical intelligence report, itself a translation of German papers. Included:
Drawing 1079-01: “Night Fighter with 2 x HeS 11” a general arrangement drawing (4371 X 2321 pixels)
Drawing 1079-02: “Side View” inboard profile (9000X3222 pixels)
Drawing 1079-03: “Plan View” inboard view from above (7465X3174 pixels)
Drawing 1079-04: “Contours” showing 22 fuselage contour lines (4321X2581 pixels)
Drawing 1079-05: “Size Variations” showing four different variations on the theme (6084X2756 pixels)
Air Drawing set 44 can be purchased for $4.50.

That was one of the few German jet designs that looked completely rational; no doubt it would have worked very well as long a Dr. Voigt didn’t get his hands on it and stick both engines on one side of the aircraft. 😀
I always thought that design is where the Fouga Magister trainer came from:

There’s also a similarity to the Soviet Tu-16 “Badger” bomber.
