Project Dr. Richard Vogta Blohm & Voss BV 246 "Hagelkorn" (hailstone) was originally known under the designation BV 226, the BV 246 with the designation changed 12. in December 1943, when it was ordered into serial production version with modified tail. The idea of the BV 246 was to attack a target at a distance from the air by sailing, so would the aircraft-carrier remained outside the reach of anti-aircraft defence - as the carrier aircraft should serve Heinkely He 111 and Planes Ju 88, while they carry up to three pieces at a time.
"Hagelkorn" he had a cigar fuselage and a double tail. The wings were on the fuselage and was a very long and narrow and should be made of sprayed concrete. The slipperiness of the BV 246 was approximately 1:25, so if the BV 246 is released from a height of 7000 meters, could fly up to 175 miles. Rate after dropping should be 550 km/h, after reaching the destination should already drop to 450 km/h. Because of the unsatisfactory results in tests of accuracy, the project was eventually dismissed, but in the summer of 1943 was, after all rozhýbán, plámováno there were eleven different versions. The rolling bomb was supposed to be originally controlled by radio from the carrier aircraft, but that was abandoned because of british successes with interference. 2. July 1943, received Erprobungsstelle Karlshagen order to test the Bv 246 B. Troop trials to be held at the KG 101 in Greifswald. tests were conducted with the aircraft the Ju 188 E-1, but they did not have satisfactory results, glide and accuracy did not correspond to the imposed demands. The tests were stopped after, what was for lewtu destroyed by carrier aircraft. Although eventually was ordered into serial production, the program BV 246 "Hagelkorn" was 26. February 1944 canceled due to an overall reduction in the extent of the German rocket program. In march of the same year there were tests and production resumed, but now only in a small series of 550 BV 246 B as the target aircraft for the training of protiledadlové defense.
BV 246 was resurrected at the beginning of the year 1945, when he was provided with a protiradarovým VHF passive you down with a homing device "Radieschen". New BV 246 had a modified nose, where it was placed warhead with a "Radieschen", the gyro control the tail surfaces. Ten established BV 246 "Radieschen" has been tested on the artillery firing range Unterlüß, however, due to the nedovyvinutému device eight of the tests failed. Two of the tests were successful and the bombs landed within two meters from the goal. Although it was made over 1000 BV 246, were never used operationally.
