!historychads !engineering for those of you who don't know, the glorious República Argentina was the first country in Latin America to build a jet aircraft.

The footage I linked is from the FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II, this was a fighter jet prototype and the second Río-Platense jet aircraft (the first was the Pulqui I)

Pic of the Pulqui I

So our story begins in Nazi Germany , Kurt Tank was a German aeronautical engineer who worked for Focke-Wulf. He designed the Focke-Wulf FW-190 which was the Third's Reich second most produced fighter (only behind the Messerschmitt Bf-109), and one of the backbones of the Luftwaffe.

Tank also designed the Focke-Wulf Ta-152 a high altitude interceptor which could reach 33,000 ft heights, though it's first flight was in January 1945, so like most of Hitler's wunderwaffen it was both, late in the game and useless against hundreds of B-17s and B-24s.

The krauts were pretty early in the game of jet aircraft design. The first ever jet aircraft was the Heinkel He-178 which flew for the first time in 1939, but the most famous of kraut jet-fighters was the Messerschmitt Me-262.

The Me-262 entered service in September 1944 and despite the fancy Jumo 004 engines, the planes were no match for the P-51 Mustang. The Reich Ministry of Air also asked for designs to succeed the Me-262, one of them was the Focke-Wulf Ta-183, designed by Tank.

As you can see, it's the basis design of second-generation fighter jets like the Mig-15 and the F-86 Saber. The Ta-183 was never built.

Tank left Europe and migrated to Argentina, in 1945 Juan Domingo Perón became President and he was interested in acquiring German engineers. Argentina had a aeronautical state-owned company named "Fábrica Militar de Aviones" or FMA which still exists under a different name. Back during the good ol' days of the Junta the FMA designed a 4th gen fighter plane which never left the design phase, the FMA SAIA 90.

But that's another story of another even more delusional project.

In 1947 the FMA produced the Pulqui I, a jet aircraft designed by a French Engineer, Émile Dewoitine (a guy of left France after being ousted as a collaborator during WW2). However the Pulqui I was cancelled early on as it had autonomy problems caused by excessive fuel consumption and its design was outdated. The FMA then begin the design of a new plane which would make use of the new Rolls-Royce Nene II engines. Enter Kurt Tank.

Tank was placed as head of the program and he basically adapted the Ta-183 design for the Nene II engine. In 1948-1949 two prototype gliders were build with the help of another German engineer, Reimar Horten, who along his brother designed the Horten Ho-229, a jet-powered flying wing. That thing actually was build and flew a few times in 1945.

The problem with production was that Argentina lacked infrastructure and modern machinery/equipment to build this sort of plane (it gets worse when you consider mass production scale), so the metal fabrication was all manual and labor-intensive.

The first prototype of the Pulqui II was completed in 1950, its maiden flight took place on June 27, piloted by Edmundo Weiss. During the second flight, piloted by a German test-pilot (who also worked for Focke-Wulf) Otto Behrens, problems with stability surfaced at speeds above 700km/h (435mph), lading the aircraft was also tricky. The prototypes also stalled a couple of times but they recovered thanks to being at high altitudes. In February 1951 Tank presented the Pulqui II to Perón and a group of legislators and other Argentine politicels on an air show in Buenos Aires. The demonstration was a success and the Argentinian Air Force ordered 12 Pulqui II units.

During the first flight, the pilot, Commander Soto reported severe vibrations at 1000km/h speeds. Tank said the problem was with that unit in special and that the others were safe, yet the faulty model continued to be operated. A certain Commander Vedannia Manuwal was advised not fly that model after more reports of extreme vibrations, but he told everyone he knew better than everyone else , so he piloted, pushed the plane through a bunch of maneuvers at high-G forces and… the wing separated from the fuselage. Manuwal successfully ejected but his parachute failed to deploy and he died

Modifications were made to the new prototypes. In September 1952 another demo was set to happen before Perón, hoeing the Pulqui II already had a bad reputation among pilots. Just a couple of days before the demo, Brehens stalled the Pulqui II third prototype (the one for the demo), crashed and died.

Fourth time makes the charm and the 4th Pulqui II prototype had added stall fences on each wing and four strakes on the rear fuselage as to avoid deep stall. The Argie Air Force by then intended to buy 100 Pulqui II, however by 1954 Argentina's economy was in turmoil and they couldn't afford the investment required to build a factory, vuy equipment and mass produce the Pulqui II (Perón turned the FMA into a motorcycle and cars factory to generate some income lol). Early in 1955 Perón didn't renew Tank's contract after he requested the double pf money for the Pulqui II program. That same year Perón was overthrown by a military coup, the new regime cancelled the Pulqui II program and decided to buy F-86 Sabers from the US instead as those were cheaper than investing on an aircraft industry and Argentina was bankrupted by then.

The plaintiffs alleged that Coca-Cola bottlers "contracted with or otherwise directed paramilitary security forces that utilized extreme violence and murdered, tortured, unlawfully detained, or otherwise silenced trade union leaders." Coca-Cola does not deny that the murders and attacks on unionists took place at their bottling facilities, nor did they deny that the paramilitaries responsible for the killings were being paid by the bottlers, but they claimed that they could not be held liable because they are not in direct control of the bottling plants. In March 2001, district judge Jose E. Martinez decided in Miami that Coca-Cola could not be held liable, claiming they did not directly control the bottling plants, but allowed the case against the bottling companies to proceed forward

Dramamormons how historically accurate is this?

So the Arabs nations were fighting Israel in shooting wars around the time America was in Vietnam right? Those were the big wars with tank battles and commandos and F-4s fighting MiG-21s and shit — not just Palestoid uprisings like nowadays.

Anyway, are there Arab boomer vets and are they like American Vietnam vets? Is it considered a generation defining thing? Was there a stereotype of them getting ptsd and freaking out over fireworks and turning into bums afterwards? Is that kind of veteran something of a stock character like in the west?

I suppose I can also ask about Israeli veterans though I'm not sure if any dramatards are actually from Israel.

Somehow despite being a dictator who killed hundreds of thousands of people Idi Amin could at times be surprisingly based.

There is a younger dryas civilization hypothesis which suggests that large advanced ( for their time ) human civilizations might have existed more than 10,000 years ago and been destroyed in mud floods (hmmm sounds similar to Tartarian civilization demise)

https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/when-and-where-did-our-species-originate/

Humans are said the have been biologically the same for 200,000 years.

https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/science-magazines/great-sphinx-twice-old-egyptologists-and-archaeologists-think-based-recent-geological-evidence

The Spinx might be more than 5,000 years old.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkening_Age

All early religions may have had a habit of destroying evidence of anything that was not created by them or showed a world that existed before themselves.

Humans have been around the planet for 200,000 years. In those 200,000 years we are supposed to believe that humans figured out cities and towns in only the last 5% of the time during which they have existed.

Either the scientists are wrong that humans have existed the same for 200,000 years and we are far more advanced and different than our ancestors, or humanity likely had time and again built pseudo civilizations, but each time not advanced enough to maintain cohesion in the face of conflict or time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe

Gobekli Tepe is 9000-9500 years old.

https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/behavior/stone-cowtools

The first stone cowtools were developed 2.6 million years ago.

Current history wants us to believe that it took life on Earth 2.6 million years to go from stone cowtools to figuring out building villages.

What do you think is more likely? 2.6 million years to figure out how to build villages, or that it is only in recent times that humans have built structures so vast that their evidence would remain for thousands of years after the species perished.

Today, enough varieties of life have evolved on Earth, that they would consume and process and sign of life long before it has a chance of fossilizing.

There are 2,500 year old cities under the Amazon forest that could only be discovered with underground mapping.

Only 5% of Gobekli Tepe has been unearthed.

There was obviously a town to city spanning area that existed 9,500 years ago.

Oldest discovered wooden structure is half a million years old.

You know, it's really weird, how humans are obsessed with constantly building stronger and stronger structures and defenses, meanwhile all other species seem to be okay with where they are right now. Almost as if we are a species who have been through so much shit that the only survivors were those who planned ahead and tried to plan for everything, because time after time whatever they built was destroyed, by natural disaster, by predators, by time, and each time the more desperate to not have that destruction occur again gene survived.

Maybe we aren't a species who emerged out of civilization 10,000 years ago, maybe we are a species that failed to rise up as a civilization and maintain that growth 100s of times across 100,000 or more years and we are just in the current iteration that has gotten the furthest without collapsing.

https://theconversation.com/ancient-aboriginal-stories-preserve-history-of-a-rise-in-sea-level-36010

The aboriginals of Australia managed to pass on a myth of sunken islands for 12,000 years.

Humanity wasn't dumb. It just might not have been smart enough to build modern society.

Atlantis for example, could have simply been a civilization that was more advanced than any of its neighbors before it got destroyed.

Isn't it funny that human civilization always appears to have begun wherever the newest great empire persists?

China begins to rise on the global stage and suddenly they find the oldest fossils in China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peking_Man

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_longi

The greatest empires cannot tolerate a history where they weren't in some form guaranteed to be the winners. Where they weren't in some way meant to be reaching a manifest destiny.

Our histories have been written to fit a narrative, and that narrative is that the first connections to our way of life are the only ones that are relevant and the only ones that have ever existed.

Yet time and time again, we find more proof that something did exist before history has deemed things to have existed.

https://www.ancient-hebrew.org/ancientman/1054.html

Nukes in India 10-12,000 years ago? The signs say yes.

Theory 1:

Ancient aliens once roamed the Earth until up to 10,000 years ago.

Theory 2:

Advanced ( modern day equivalent ) human civilizations did emerge in the past, but they were always of such small sizes that they would break down and knowledge would be lost with the destruction of a single state. This could be possible as we are already seeing developed economies on the verge of collapse even though no great crisis is reaching them and destroying them right now.

Theory 3:

Everything the scientists and the archeologists say today is correct, we should trust the whole of human history being built up on the base created by people who couldn't handle gay people existing historically, or who thought their own historical ideas must always be superior to any other civilization.

Conclusion:

Human science is accurate. Human history is a lie.
