- HISTORY ASPECTS:The Lippisch P.13a was a German experimental delta-winged fighter aircraft developed during World War II. It was designed by Alexander Lippisch - who was a leading exponent of delta-winged aircraft at the time. The P.13a was intended to be a high-speed interceptor with a top speed of over 1 - 000 km/h (620 mph).The P.13a was constructed largely of wood and featured an unconventional delta-wing design with a single jet engine mounted in the rear of the aircraft. The wings had a 60-degree sweep and no horizontal stabilizers or elevators. Instead - the aircraft used wingtip ailerons for control.The project was cancelled by the German authorities before any prototypes were completed - and the P.13a never saw combat. However - its design had a significant influence on the development of post-war aircraft - particularly in the United States and the Soviet Union.Today - the Lippisch P.13a remains an intriguing footnote in aviation history - fly back in time to the era of experimental jet fighters with this 1:72 scale model. Featuring a sleek delta-wing design and innovative features ahead of its time - this model is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts and collectors alike. Display it on your shelf - and imagine the speed and power of this unconventional fighter aircraft that paved the way for the future of aviation.
