In 1935 Paul Schmidt and Professor Georg Hans Madelung submitted a design to the Luftwaffe for a flying bomb. It was an innovative design that used a pulse-jet engine, while previous work dating back to 1915 by Sperry Gyroscope relied on propellers.
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 ...
Pulsejet engines, being cheap and easy to construct, were the obvious choice for the V-1's designers, given the Germans' materials shortages and overstretched industry at that stage of the war. Designers of modern cruise missiles do not choose pulsejet engines for propulsion, preferring turbojets or rocket engines.

The F-1 engine is the most powerful single-nozzle liquid-fueled rocket engine ever flown. The M-1 rocket engine was designed to have more thrust, but it was only tested at the component level. The later developed RD-170 is much more stable, technologically more advanced , more efficient and produces more thrust, but uses four nozzles fed by a ...
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.

Design of the Porsche 005 began in late 1944 with the aim of providing a more fuel efficient engine for the V-1 allowing for greater ranges. The use of the Porsche 005 turbojet was projected to increase the range of the V-1 from 240 km (149 mi) to 700 km (435 mi) and allow launching without ramps.
In late 2001, Mueller began developing a liquid-fueled rocket engine in his garage and later moved his project to a friend's warehouse in 2002. [1] His design was the largest amateur liquid-fuel rocket engine, weighing 80 lb (36 kg) and producing 13,000 lbf (58 kN) of thrust. [1] His work caught the attention of Elon Musk, SpaceX founder. [7]
