Kinja'd!!!

Fliegende Panzerfaust, a parasite fighter that was intended to be towed behind a Me 109G. Once it reached operational altitude and the target was sighted it was released and and it’s six rockets were ignited ( three on each side of the fuselage ). Afterwards the pilot would eject from the front half of the aircraft. Both were equipped with parachutes as it was intended to be reused. It was only armed with two RZ 65 missiles. Only one mockup was built before the war ended.

I mean, it’s no Goblin, but it’s kinda neat.

I really don’t see how it could have been able to get into the air
