wolverine1947 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 How was the V1 loaded onto the bottom of the He 111? Was there enough clearance to slide underneath on cart? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigjugs Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) It was carried under the wing between nacelle and fuselage on an ETC rack. You can see the clearance and the "hot wire" to start the engine ] Edited February 19, 2015 by bigjugs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. nice pics. I'd say from behind. I don't think the V-1's engine would fit under the Heinkel's wing from the front. Its fuselage would strike the ground first.
