For Immediate Release

Farmington, CT USA February 10th, 2006 – Shockwave Productions Inc. has released a movie showing a portion of their next Wings of Power aircraft. Those who can successfully guess the aircraft by only what is shown in the movie may win the aircraft. The key here is the entry with the most detailed explanation of the make, model, and exactly what they see in the video that determines why they believe the aircraft is what they think it is will win the Wings of Power aircraft. The aircraft will be revealed and the winner announced in the coming weeks.

“What I can say is this aircraft is the most advanced aircraft every produced in its class. We’ve spent months developing the engine behavior alone, including the most advanced sound modeling yet,” said Scott Gentile of Shockwave Productions Inc.

Welp it certainly looks of German origin ... So my lack of knowledge about those aircraft aren't going to help me.

Good luck to whoever gets it.

Yep, and if I'm not mistaken the plane sounds like it has a turboprop. Good luck to the winner :)
One question I was wondering if you could answer is if this aircraft was ever actually made or was it just a "paper project"?

The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.

Yup, it's another twin engine German plane :cry: I had my hopes up that WoP would do something from the PTO, paying tribute to all those Naval Aviator's that gave so much during WWII. I'm pretty sure I won't buy this one, I'm going to wait for that arresting hook (Hellcat/Wildcat)! I know it'll be very nice but it just doesn't interest me to have another bomber. What would be nice is doing some carrier landings. Flying bombers around gets boring after awhile. Sorry, I hope I didn't offend anyone, but there's always one of us in the crowd! I'm hoping that Naval Aviation exists in the WoP world someday! Semper Fi, MudMarine

Hang on to your goggles gents,

I don't think it's a bomber. And if I'm correct about the aircraft in the video, it was produced. It should be a blast to fly :lol:

Well it has two prop. engines, so it's not a Me262. Unless it's a Do335 that leaves only a bomber. It didn't look like a Ju88 cockpit. I can't think of any other twin engined fighters. I could easily find out what it is, I have enough books and photo's I think I could do it. I'm just not that interested in another German plane. I want to hear the roar of a Grumman!

Nice idea for a contest.

I'm pretty sure I found it, but it was not easy.
I don't even know what you can win, but I looked at it, as a challenge.

Good luck to everyone.
