quality .. ; Riedel starter motor cuts out at 2,000. The Riedel motor was always
started with its electric motor as the pull wire was not satisfactory. The
Riedel was very liable to overheating and the automatic clutch also gave a lot
of trouble ... ; idling speed .. ; 003C engine this type had a compressor of

critical altitude is obtained by switching on the rocket when at normal ceiling
... could reach 14 km (46,000 ft.) theoretical ceiling was 18 km (59,000 ft.) ..
; He162 ... ;hollow turbine blades .. ; ... The high altitude test plant
at Oberwiesenfeld/Munich is believed to be the finest in the world ... It is
strongly recommended that immediate steps be taken by interested parties to
instruct re-opening of this plant. In view of the apparent lack of full
performance test data on German jet engines, it is suggested that the 003 and
004 be tested in the chamber as a first step. The adjacent Oberwiesenfeld
airfield would make it convenient to fly in Allied engines for test
Important to be
noticed:
-
TL = Turbine/jet (Turbine Luftstrahl)
-
TLR = Turbine.jet + liquid rocket motor (Turbine Luftstrahl Rakete?)
-
PTL = Propeller/turbine/jet
