The Lippisch P.12, P.13a and P.13b were related design projects for a ramjet-powered delta wing interceptor aircraft studied in 1944 by German designer Alexander Lippisch. the closes we ever got to this existing in real life is the DM-1 full size glider concept. which Alexander only had commissioned as a means of keeping art students from being conscripted into the war mid 1944. (this is a W.I.P i intend to publish a updated version at somepoint)
