The BV 40 was a German attack glider, which was designed allied bomber formations in World War II. Carrying 2 30 mm cannons , the maximum speed reached in testing was 500 miles per hour. Seven full size prototypes were built, but none were officially put into Luftwaffe service. None are preserved to my knowledge. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blohm%26VossBV40.
