An experimental rocket interceptor built out of the need for a fast fighter to destroy the overwhelming German bombers, it would use its new proplusion the rocket engine to rocket up to the bombers and shoot them down and then glide back down to its airfield but the project was canceled when the prototype crashed and the desicion was to just stick with older propellar driven aircraft (trim for landing gear, it gets a little shaky when at slow speeds)
