HISTORY

Developed in 1940 during World War II as a rocket interceptor capable of responding to air raids from Germany, the return was scheduled to be done by gliding due to the extremely short cruising range due to the rocket engine. In 1942, a powered aircraft flew, and although a total of 12 flights were finally made, problems such as short cruising range and delicacy of the aircraft became a problem, and around 1945, the development of jet engines also developed. Due to this, development was discontinued.
