Re: Volkswaffe: The Flying Cars of Nazi Germany

Hi Nick,

No, it was. It utilized Thule I system. Donīt you know??
But it needed V-1 launch device for take-off.
It improved later on with introducing Thule II system. But it required 100 octane fuel, which was difficult to get.
Therefore the late war Thule III was able to digest wood gas ... which however required rather complicated control during flight ... and often led to unwilling bail-outs
