E-Flite EFLA510 Parachute Jumper 3pcs – Metro Hobbies

At 40,000 feet the plane would dive into a formation of enemy aircraft at an estimated speed of up to 875 kmh and clip their wings or tail surfaces with its own reinforced wings, for this reason they gave the XP-79 the nickname: "Flying Ram". The pilot would operate the aircraft from a prone position, permitting the pilot to withstand much greater g-forces in the upward and downward direction. The pilot controlled the XP-79 through a tiller bar and rudders mounted below; intakes mounted at the wingtips supplied air for the unusual bellows-boosted ailerons.
