- 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.
