Re: Did the Luftwaffe ever experiment with JATO?
JATO is actually rocket assisted take off (RATO) and does not use a jet. I have seen several videos of Heinkel He 111s, Me 321s (glider) and Me 323 Gigants, and Arado Ar 234s using rockets to assist the take off since they were heavily laden with equipment in the case of transports and bombs in the case of the He 111 and Ar 234. The rockets were jettisoned upon using up the fuel and used parachutes for the descent so they could be reused.
