Overview Of The German Conventional Flying Saucer Projects

Several types of flying craft we would call flying saucers were built by the Germans during the Second World War. The exact number is still open for debate but it certainly must vary from between three to seven or possibly eight different types. What is meant here is that there were very different lines of flying saucers being built in wartime Germany at different places by different groups of people. We will progress from saucer projects which are factually better known and which deal in conventional propulsion methods and then move to lesser known projects which deal in more exotic propulsion methods which are less well documented and so more controversial...

We also tried to make one. We called it the Avrocar. It was very complicated and didnt go very far though

They also had a “Space shuttle” type vehicle on the drawing boards, launched by rail/rocket for bombing North American targets from a barely sub orbital altitude........

Most of the DU'ers have ridden in one....

I have heard of it but it went nowhere...

Have you heard of the experiments by Nikola Tesla?

[bill1952]

See! Kucinich was right!!

All this time he thought that it was aliens, but it was just some lousy krauts caught in a time loop caused by the perpetual motion telsa coils that infect birds, suck up judges, and spit people out on the grassy knoll...

How did my name get mixed with Ron Paul wackjobs on your ping list?

My FR account needs a long shower with industrial strength soap now.

Ping......

I’ve never seen actual video of this one operating whereas I have seen USAF video of the Avro so I ignored it.

The Nazis spent so much time, money, manpower and raw materials on goofy sci-fi stuff that they hurt their production of regular armaments. A lot of their drawing board stuff didn’t come to fruition for decades after the war, and a lot of their research is still being used.

The Sanger Silver Bird. Really revolutionary stuff for the 1940's.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

That’s where they came from

Wasn’t one of their top priorities Global Warming?

[Red Badger]

Clever, those Germans...............

[ozzymandus]

You’re thinking of Nazi Weather Prize winner Albrecht Von Gore, who claimed global warming was a Jewish plot. Rumor has it he worked for the Soviets after the war.
