Blohm & amp; Voss BV 143
The Bv 143 was a glider torpedo equipped with a Walter rocket engine. According to water plans & # 367; It was to be equipped with an infrared "Hamburg" warhead and, after being detached from a carrier aircraft, it could take a gliding flight of about 5 to 382; 7 km. T & # 283; sn & # 283; Before plunging into the water, the Bv 143 rocket engine could be started for a short time. This allowed the torpedo to continue. to get on a soaring flight for a short time. Due to the timely start-up of the engine, a mechanical contact with the water surface was developed, but it was never put into a satisfactory form, so further tests were performed. held with a classic barometer - also & # 283; & # 382; failed. It was also calculated with an electric height, which, however, was not developed at the time. A chemical-powered catapult was created for discharge from ships, but it suffered from such propulsion problems that it was stopped in the forward series. The Walter 109-501 launcher was used to propel the launch. In February 1941, in the Zinnowitz area east. from Peenwmünde prob - hly tests with a carrier aircraft He 111 H-6 . Although the prototype Bv 143 V 17 was achieved in April 1941 after a 70-second engine start, the flight path was 24 km at 3 seconds. minutes and 40 seconds, the problem of contact with the water surface still became a problem, so the ordered series for the Luftwaffe was canceled. rights & # 283; required the possibility of catapult launching from ships. Dr. Vogt and Blohm & amp; Vossu therefore created a version, marked Bv 143 B, which, however, is she looked quite different. The wings and tail surfaces and tail surfaces had narrow rudders, the spacing of the wings was not much smaller than. range of tools. At least & # 328; one copy & # 345; This ejection version was also tested, no version of any version was used in combat.
