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 P.12 and P.13a were unarmed, relying on reinforced wings to ram its opponent. The P.13a and b were to be powered by producer gas made in-flight from powdered coal. The DM-1 was a full-size glider, flown to test the P.12/13a low-speed aerodynamics. The design series were unrelated to the earlier P.13 produced by Messerschmitt's Lippisch design office.

A ramjet is a form of airbreathing jet engine that requires forward motion of the engine to provide air for combustion

*Be careful when taking off since the plane does not have landing gear, and is essentially a very, very strange glider, make sure the missiles are NOT ON ITS WINGS. And just a warning, I don't want you to get hurt. *🖤

Ruhrstahl X-4

The Ruhrstahl Ru 344 X-4 or Ruhrstahl-Kramer RK was a wire-guided air-to-air missile designed by Germany during World War II. The X-4 did not see operational service and thus was not proven in combat but inspired considerable post-war work around the world.

    @RepublicofKomi You can't land with the missiles dragging on the ground and you can't land it too fast, after all it doesn't have landing gear hehehehe

    @Randomplayer wow, I wish I could see these things, but unfortunately I'm not European and I can't afford expensive trips to visit these hangars, but I know that the aircraft are amazing in them. I hope to be able to visit them someday.
