Interesting bugger indeed. Who was the designer?
Looks like the German one, forgot the name of it... Proly stole the concepts like they always did.
Yea that how it usually was for both the US n USSR >> Remember the dispute over who copied whose design with the F86 Sabre & the Mig 15?
Well it turns out both were copied a WW2 German jet called the Focke-Wulf Ta 183 AKA Huckebein.
Heres a link to that particular jet :)

indeed, and was this the aircraft in your mind aidas: Focke-Wulf triebflügel?
En.wikipedia.org
No, there was another, I believe experimental one, it looked pretty much just like the american one here, I think some version of Il2 has it, very strange thing.
Pcmedia.ign.com ? Ah, you mean this one :p
though honestly except for that ring, it's very similar to triebflügel
Yes, that one, very similiar.
It's true, 60% of the technology in the cold war originated with the Germans.
Pretty much everything in modern technology we have now, was made by Germans during the war lol. Wonder what high tech world would we live in now if the German's would have won. Maybe could space travel to? Since Germans made the first rocket and also made the first rocket that reached moon and came back, after that the whole space thing ended :/
more than 60 it was more like 80% if you include the US designed weapons that incorporated German tech & features.
