The first jet aircraft produced by Germany after WW2, the engines
were mounted on the upper side of the wings, giving it a unique
appearance. This aircraft had superb short field performance making
it ideal for smaller airports that could not accept jets.

A pretty goofy design.

Granted good centerline thrust but... how does the ground crew get access to
the engine for maintenance? What about all the nasty carbon build up on the
horizontal stabilizers and all the buffeting of the control surfaces due to
the engine exhaust.

It, no doubt, presents some different handling scenarios for
pilot/maintenance people.
Apparently it handled very well in the short field T/O and landing
environments.


Say, they have a flight sim package for this bird!

Eighth one down the list.:

Well...with the engines on top of the wings it can make a safe
belly-landing if necessary.

Gosh , it might make decent belly lander. A smoothe gear up water landing
might be the ticket, here!

Since there were no other jets for airports to "accept," that would mean
all airports. ;-)
