Model of an Arado Ar 234 carrying a V-1 at the Technikmuseum Speyer. There were plans, not put into practice, to use the Arado Ar 234 jet bomber to launch V-1s either by towing them aloft or by launching them from a "piggy back" position (in the manner of the Mistel, but in reverse) atop the aircraft. In the latter configuration, a pilot ...
The Argus As 014 (designated 109-014 by the RLM) was a pulsejet engine used on the German V-1 flying bomb of World War II, and the first model of pulsejet engine placed in mass production. License manufacture of the As 014 was carried out in Japan in the latter stages of World War II , as the Kawanishi Maru Ka10 for the Kawanishi Baika kamikaze ...
This also allowed the modified sites to be quickly repaired after bombing. The limited work necessary to complete a modified site before launching allowed the Allied photographic interpreters to predict on June 11, 1944, that the V-1 attacks would begin within 48 hours, and the first attacks began on June 13.

A pulsejet engine (or pulse jet) is a type of jet engine in which combustion occurs in pulses.A pulsejet engine can be made with few [1] or no moving parts, [2] [3] [4] and is capable of running statically (that is, it does not need to have air forced into its inlet, typically by forward motion).
V-1 flying bomb V-2 missile V-3 cannon. V-weapons, known in original German as Vergeltungswaffen (German pronunciation: [fɐˈgɛltʊŋsˌvafṇ], German: "retaliatory weapons", "reprisal weapons"), were a particular set of long-range artillery weapons designed for strategic bombing during World War II, particularly strategic bombing and aerial bombing of cities.
Fieseler Fi 103R (with cockpit, in camouflage paint), to the right of a standard V-1 flying bomb (Fieseler Fi 103), at the Swiss Military Museum. During the latter part of the Second World War, it was becoming increasingly clear that Germany was on the defensive and that increasingly drastic measures would be needed just to maintain the status quo against the Allies.

A Democratic strategist argued that President Trump's popularity can be credited to the fact he has adopted many practical policies that have been abandoned by modern Democrats.
Ludwig Bölkow was the principal aerodynamicist assigned to work on the design of the Me 262. He initially designed the wing using NACA airfoils modified with an elliptical nose section. [ 32 ] Later in the design process, these were changed to AVL derivatives of NACA airfoils, the NACA 00011-0.825-35 being used at the root and the NACA 00009-1 ...
