This was an expriemntal ram jet fighter to take down US bombers, The aircraft was being tested with its glider counterpart the DM-1, but it never achieved powered flight but if powered it would reach Mach 2.6 with good stability, to ake off it would use liquid fueled rocket engine and when in flight the pilot would activate, strangely powdered coal would be used to power the ram jet (activator 1 gets rid of the landing gears, it's also not that quick in a turn so don't turn at low altitude)
