Turbine-Powered Me 163 Takes Off

What a Beautiful Aircraft

This video shows an actual turbine-powered Me 163 model take off. The smoke looked great, just like the original footage of the real thing.

The flying looked terrific, too. Plus, the Me 163 looked wonderful with a turbine. What an impressive model, indeed!

All in all, the pilot handled it well, despite the rather rough landing. Is the Me 163 one of the greatest designs in aviation? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
