The German aircraft in "Ark of the Ark" is full of curiosity.
In many treasure hunt movies, "Indiana Jones" is always a topic that cannot be avoided. However, if it comes to the most impressive in the "Indiana Jones" series, it is none other than the pioneering work of the series "Ark of the Ark". Especially in the second half of the movie, the battle between the male protagonist and the Germans surrounding a strange aircraft is a classic scene in the history of film. But while watching the movie, many military enthusiasts will also have a question, that is, is the strange German plane in the movie real? If it is true, then why has it never been found in history; if it is false, then this aircraft looks the same as the real one. Although
is just a prop, but the details are handled very well.
In fact, the strange German airplane in the movie has never appeared in history. It is purely a model specially made by Spielberg's prop artist for this movie. However, it should be noted that although it is only a movie prop, it is not imagined out of thin air. We all know that in the Second World War and a period of time before, the Germans creatively developed many different types of aircraft. In the end, some of these aircraft were repaired to a positive result, and some remained on the drawing board. Among them, there are two abandoned flying wing aircraft designs that are very similar to the German aircraft in "Indiana Jones and the Ark". Maybe they are the prototype of movie props or the source of inspiration. The computer image of
Li P.04-106 bomber
and the German aircraft in "Indiana Jones and the Ark of the Ark" are the most similar to the Germans who designed the Li P.04-106 before World War II. However, we have limited knowledge of Li P.04-106. We only know that this is a bomber project using flying wing technology started by the Germans in 1939. However, due to various reasons, the progress of the project has been very slow, and it did not enter a practical state until the end of the war. Therefore, Li P.04-106 was finally abandoned by the Germans together with a similar project, and instead concentrated on developing several weapon designs with the highest success rate. Now, regarding Li P.04-106, we don’t even have an official outline drawing, only a hypothetical drawing made by netizens based on limited information.
Actually, the model of the Mei-329 heavy fighter did not leave any photos.
Except for the Li P.04-106 bomber, there is also the Mei-329 heavy fighter which looks more like the props of "Indiana Jones and the Ark of the Ark". But few people know that Messerschmitt has also designed such a strange thing as a flying wing fighter. Originally, the design of the Mei-329 was proposed in 1944 to replace the original Mei-410 heavy fighter of the Luftwaffe. Although the bubble cockpit and remote-controlled tail gun of the Mei-329 are both epoch-making designs, the scheme was not liked by the German executives from the beginning. So after only making a model, it was abandoned in early 1945. But frankly speaking, by 1945, even if the Germans insisted on continuing this project, it was a waste of resources.
