Construction of
the
Ta 154 A
Instead
of the regular cockpit the TA 154A should get a stripped down version,
which would have been connected to the fuselage by four bolts, just
ahead
of the 5. bulkhead and only would be used for flyover. At operation
airfield
the cockpit would have been exchanged with a hollow charge warhead. Any
technical equipment not necessary was canceled.
The
warhead would have been a hollow charge of 2500kg, 3000kg or max.
3500kg
weight. Depending on the weight it would have been mounted in more or
less
distance to the bulkhead. When useing the 3500kg charge additional
ballast
of 100kg would be mounted to the rear, to even the centre of gravity.
The
front landinggear would have been connected to the warhead with struts
that seperate by explosive bolts.
The
main landingear wouldn't be changed at all except for increasing the
pressure
on the shock absorbers from 60 to 97 atü (athmospheres). Starting
the Mistel would been possible in this configuration from an concrete
runway,
but landing never was an option.
The
guidance aircraft would have been the FW190 A8. Which would be mounted
atop the Ta 154 by a scaffold. All controls of the Ta 154 would be
controled
by the FW190 A8. During approach run both aircraft would be fueled by
the
Ta 154 . This would increase the range immensely.
Separation
from the Ta 154 was planned to be managed by explosive bolts. Therefore
the rear strut was blown first to ensure a safe seperation.
Approach
run would been accomplished by the Fw 190 A8 and final approach by
automatic
controlles called "Lagekommando für Höhensteuerung". As a
sight
control a TSA1 was intended.
