| A few designers defected to Argentina,the Pulqui jet was a result of early German influence,very ahead of its time,I believe the Payen could have been Argentinian as well,not sure of that ? small delta with single large fin,sleek as well.
Wow,a flying replica Me.163 that would be something to see ! if the Luftwaffe had had reliable powerplants for those little beasties then I think we could have been finished,they would have created more chaos than the handful used in action experimentally,remember one drop of 'C' or 'T' Stoff catalyst in the fuel lines and it was a big bang on landing as the glass phials broke creating havoc with a resulting explosion.
There are a couple of sectioned Komet's in museums which are well worth a close study,Shuttleworth & Duxford have examples.
Imagine being posted to a Komet unit ! if the chemical reaction did not catch you out,then your spine suffered in the bumpy landings.
