Basically a V2. I don’t know how to limit the altitude. Purchaseable as a base for a ballistic missile.

    @AviationLoverGEEK444 that was a reporter. It’s classified. Our first major launch is set to take place on July twenty fourth in 1949.

    The V2 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, lit. 'Vengeance Weapon 2'), with the technical name Aggregat-4 (A4), was the world's first long-range[4] guided ballistic missile. The missile, powered by a liquid-propellant rocket engine, was developed during the Second World War in Nazi Germany as a "vengeance weapon" and assigned to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings of German cities. The V2 rocket also became the first artificial object to travel into space by crossing the Kármán line (edge of space) with the vertical launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944.[5]

    @AeroTactical too early 1960 when it is actually possible
    @DeeganishCountryball don’t you agree?

    @AeroTactical German V-2 rocket even without its warhead, could not reach outer space as defined by the Kármán line (100 km altitude).
    .
    V-2 was designed as a ballistic missile, not a space launch vehicle. With a standard warhead (about 1,000 kg), it reached a maximum altitude of around 80-90 km on a vertical flight. Removing the warhead would reduce its weight, increasing altitude somewhat, but not enough to cross the 100 km threshold.
    .
    V-2's single-stage liquid-fuel engine provided a specific impulse of about 239 seconds and a total burn time of around 65 seconds. This was insufficient to achieve the velocity needed for orbital or suborbital spaceflight (approximately 7.9 km/s for low Earth orbit). Even without a payload, V2 rocket's maximum velocity was around 1.6 km/s.
    .
    V-2 lacked the structural design and guidance systems for stable flight beyond its intended suborbital trajectory. Its fins and gyroscopic stabilization were optimized for atmospheric flight, not the vacuum of space.
    .
    While V-2 was a groundbreaking technology, it was not a space rocket. Post-WWII, modified V-2s used in U.S. experiments (e.g., Project Bumper) reached altitudes up to 400 km by adding upper stages, but the base V-2 alone couldn’t achieve this.
    .
    In short, a V-2 without its warhead could fly higher than its standard configuration but still lacked the power, design, and velocity to reach outer space.
    .
    Thats my argument.
