speed or pitch?

- It is correct, it's short for constant speed propeller, Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics). The speed part actually refers to RPM (revolutions per minute). Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 18:17, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
Canopy handles, or a farewell to arms
editIn an Air Enthusiast article circa 1970, British test pilot Eric Brown wrote that German engineers reported the Do 335 suffered crashes in which the pilots failed to eject: they were found in the wreckage with no arms. The canopy had to be released before the ejection seat could be used, and the release handles were attached to the canopy, so that the high speed separation of the canopy would rip the arms from the pilots. When Brown first climbed into a Do 335 cockpit the handles were exactly as had been described to him.
Hopefully someone can find the Air Enthusiast article and add this grisly example of bad engineering to this article.

Construction
editThis article has a great deal of essay-like content regarding German aircraft design &c and noting whatsoever about the design and constuction of the airframe. Was it made of wood? metal? Unobtanium and cardboard?TheLongTone (talk) 13:59, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
