FEATHER NUMBER 2, PART 2
In Part 1 last month, Gorden Whitehead looked at the theory
behind achieving controllable flight in an engine-out situation
with a twin (or more). In Part 2 here, we will see what actually
happened when the author put theory into practice.

T
he Messerschmitt Bf 110
forms a major part of our
coverage in this issue. The
general tendency is to
deride this aircraft almost
exclusively due to its woeful
performance during the Battle
Britain in the summer and autumn
of 1940, when it first came up
against serious and determined
opposition to the extent that this
aircraft had to be given its own
fighter escort by its small brother
the Messerschmitt Bf 109.
The concept that spawned the Bf
110 was dreamed up a full five
years prior to the commencement
of WW2 in 1939 and took hold of
the imagination of those, in
Germany responsible for the
decision making, mostly ‘political
animals’ who subsequently were
unable to stomach the findings of
more knowledgeable, more
qualified individuals when the
concept moved from drawing board
to test prototype. As we see, the
aircraft soon moved on to be a
major element of the Luftwaffe’s
order of battle, before the painful
truth had to be faced.
Nevertheless, not all was lost in
that when, not too long after the
end of the Battle of Britain, which
conclusively demonstrated the
shortcomings of the Bf 110 as a
day-fighter, the development of the
air war created the need for night
fighters, where outright speed and
manoeuvrability were not the
paramount considerations - and the
Bf 110 became a clear and readily
available aircraft capable of
conversion as an effective night
fighter, particularly when the first
on-board airborne interception
radars became available.
What struck me in all this is that
in parallel with the Bf 110, in the
years prior to WW2, the Royal Air
Force had it’s own ‘good-ideal-at-
the-time, in the shape of the
Boulton Paul Defiant (see FSM
February 2014) which failed in its
initial concept as a day fighter - this
one with all the fire-power
concentrated in a four-gun
swivelling turret behind the pilot’s
position.
The Defiant was the third of the
RAF’s fighter types (after the
Hurricane and Spitfire) to reach
combat-ready status for the Battle
of Britain, where the concept
proved unworkable and front-line
Squadrons equipped with the type
were very quickly removed from the
front line. Indeed, as early as July
1940, while the B.of.B raged by day,
the first Defiant night-sortie
took place.
However, with the onset of winter
in late 1940 when the Luftwaffe
bomber force turned to mass
nightime raids on UK, the RAF was
devoid of a night fighter force to
counter it and the Defiant was re-
deployed in earnest at first without
on-board radar assistance and then
from September 1941. With on-
board air-interception radar
equipment.
So there’s a fascinating parallel
chronology of initial failure and,
thereafter redeployment in a
parallel combat role. In this ‘second
life’, it has to be said that the
Messerschmitt Bf 110 was by far the
more successful aircraft.

No.: FLZA2800
First flown in 1965, Canadair’s
CL-84 Dynavert was an ex-
perimental platform designed
to test the feasibility of VTOL
(Vertical Takeoff & Landing)
aircraft. By repositioning its
entire wing, the CL-84 was
able to take off like a heli-
copter and then transition to
horizontal flight to perform
like a conventional turbo-prop
aircraft. In tests, it was found
that in-flight transition was
also possible, proving this to
be a truly remarkable aircraft
that pre-dated similar con-
cepts by a significant margin!
Flyzone’s replica Dynavert
has many of the same fea-
tures and can take off and
land vertically with in-flight
transition to fixed-wing flight
– you can even take off and
land conventionally on larger
strips! Power is provided by 3
brushless motors and a 3-axis
gyro guarantees flight stability.
Supplied largely pre-assem-
bled and decorated with all
servos included and fitted,
you’ll just need a transmitter
with a minimum of 6 channels,
suitable receiver and a 4S
2200mAh LiPo to complete.
