Sänger is a legend. He was only 58 years old when he died. Never knowing that his works where used for future spaceplane designs.
When you are that advanced I’m sure you know it’s inevitable
They weren’t.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@annoyingbstard9407but why??
I've seen this plane in a documentary before but seeing it here is so much more marvelous. Crazy to think they had a bomb that'd rain radioactive snow too
The bomb really isn’t that impressive. You just surround a normal bomb in enriched uranium. This is the basic concept of a dirty bomb, and it’s only something you would do if you don’t have the technology to make an actual nuclear weapon.
it would never hitler didn't want nukes look into it
@@warelite5368 A bomb that rains radioactive snow isn't equivalent to a traditional nuclear weapon. I am also aware of the Thousand Year Reich concept and the massive infrastructure intended to be produced
@@warelite5368 yh cos there was never evidence. If it was proven by werner heisenburg he would have definitely gone ahead with it
Moderly the first stage, could be a flat RC *wide load* giant EV car. Catapult it up, during wing/fin pull up + static fire sync. It also had what I'd always recommend to aeronautical space & military designers. *Periscopes* for natural eye vision. This could be done in wide goggles peaking end, perfect for all Super Sonic+/landing/fire hazard vision.
The other lacking. *Turbine micro air intakes* as adjacent wing+bodly transferred to nose tip. Lathers as 🚿 atmospheric entering🔰&🔥. Also pilots+passeger ejection stage vessel.
*IRON SKY THEME STARTS PLAYING FROM THE MOON*
For those who want to see more of the Silverbird in action, I highly recommend Allen Steele's alternate history novel VS Day, which depicts a world where the Nazis built the craft, as well as the American effort (headed up by Robert Goddard) to build a suborbital fighter to intercept it before it can bomb New York
I've read it. Very interesting.
Thanks 🙂 I'll check that out 🙂
You kind of make it sound like this crazy rush to build the plane in a couple of hours once they learn the bomber is on the way.
I just discovered it! It's now one of my favorite books!
@@74KU Maybe not in a couple of hours, but -- spoiler! -- it's all done in such a rush that FDR actually seems to have cancelled the Manhattan Project in favor of the Silverbird killer!
The concept was also known as a “Skip Glide” bomber…
In the late 50’s, early 60’s the concept was recycled into project Dynasoar, a small vehicle that would have been lofted into space on top of a Titan II rocket, but it didn’t get beyond the mock up stage.
I think if it was it would’ve been better than the Gemini spacecraft since it could have glided back to the Cape rather than splashing down in the ocean much like the Shuttle would years later.
The skip glide concept keeps coming up. It’s extremely efficient.
Even Gemini was originally designed to glide to a runway. Look up "Rogallo wing".
Big difference is that DynaSoar was intended to be an orbital spacecraft (Dream Chaser is essentially a follow-on combining the DynaSoar concept with lifting body research done by NASA after DynaSoar's cancellation). Still, pretty out there for the time no matter how you slice it.
@@svenmorgenstern9506 I've always thought that this project was named by someone with a tin ear and no sense of humor whatsoever. "Dyna-Soar? DINOSAUR?! You want us to build a FLYING DINOSAUR?!?"

Germans were tight on budget and resources. If these proposals would have been put forward when Germany was winning then they may have been more development
Fascism is very picky. Too big tanks and jets, out the window.
@@adlfilefold1744
Thats why they built not one but 3 freaking Maus tanks, well one complete, 2 hulls and a turret, then even partially built E-100 super heavy tank....
@@SMGJohn one completely? Wasn't it they build 2 hulls, a turret, and one e 100 hull and the soviets then lifted the turret at the hull?
Sänger's design actually went on to be used in the Sänger spaceplane concept, seen here.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saenger_(spacecraft)
It would have had two parts, one big one and one small one, with the small er one riding piggyback on the larger craft. See it as an early version of a fully reuseable spaceshuttle.
I am pretty sure that the Sänger Spacesplane would be an amazing topic for a video from you.
I want a scale model of that
@@DamplyDoo I actually have a model. I brought it 20 years ago and never assembled.
Looking at it now this os very similar project dyna-soar
Ever since I found out about this aircraft I have loved this design. It’s sleek fuselage, short stubby wings and twin tail. Not to mention it’s ludicrous speed of about Mach 19 making even a Mig-25 look like a snail. I love the vehicle.
It’s not a vehicle…it’s a drawing.
Photos of a wind tunnel model of this aircraft exist. The first plan called for it to be placed on a monorail track just above the ground. The track was 1.4 kilometers long and gently sloped upwards at 5 degrees. The takeoff weight of this bomber was 100 tons, of which 90% was fuel. Behind it were two V-2 rocket engines in pods which would provide the initial boost, one after the other. The bomber would then ignite its own engine and reach a speed of about Mach 19. By skipping across the top of the atmosphere, it could extend its range. The pilot would drop a single atomic bomb at a point designed to hit New York City. The blast radius was 4 kilometers across. This information comes from a published captured German document. The bomber would continue on to complete one orbit of the earth, landing somewhere in Germany as an unpowered glider.@@annoyingbstard9407
In Anton Gill and Gary Hyland's fascinating book "Last Talons of the Eagle" this project is discussed, and the authors point out that the miles-long railway track needed for launches would have consumed a huge amount of valuable steel and been a very tempting target for bombing. The much shorter tracks used to launch V1 cruise missiles were frequently attacked.
The attacks on the mobile V1 sites (Operation Cross Bow) cost the allies so many lost aircraft and lost pilots it is generally regarded as a significant material victory for the Germans. The need for long sealed runways (almost as long as modern commercial jumbo jet runways) certainly did trouble the Luftwaffe's "Amerika Bomber" Plans as they feared bombing. A 1943 Me 264 powered by Jumo 211J/P engines of around 1500hp would need RATO rockets to get of the ground in a reasonably sized runway for such a long range mission. By 1944/45 the DB603H (DB603L) with high octane C3 fuel with 2400hp could do the job without RATO but it was too late. One reason the Junker Ju 390 remained a strong contender for the Amerika program was that its low wing loading gave it a very short STOL like takeoff roll that was important to the Luftwaffe in 1944.
@@williamzk9083 I didn't know the details abougt the Peenemunde bombing raid, only that it happened. Thank you for enlightening me.
This book is a must read if you are into ww2 history.
@@zh84 Crossbow was the raid on V1 launching ramps. The RAF raid on Penemunde was a success in delaying the programs mainly by killing some of the engineers.
Awesome video I can count on you Found and Explained to entertain thanks for the vid
A lot of nations using this same concept for their cutting edge Hypersonics programs. Insane to me that this was where it all started around 90 years ago. Also thinking that the first flight was in 1902 that in 40~ ish years there were smart enough people to even begin to understand how these concepts work is amazing too.
Went from horses to the moon in less than 50 years.
How did this happen?
Spent hundreds of thousands of years on horses... then boom.. walking on the moon.
What was the catalyst?
Did humans receive help?
What breakthrough happened that allowed more technical achievement in 20-30 years then the previous 200,000?

9:08 "Jesse, we have to bomb New York, Jesse"
Even though I’ve written a paper that also deals with solar sails, I didn’t know it’s a German invention. Great video.
Two German Physicists Herbert Mataré & Heinrich Welker invented the transistor in the same month as Bardeen did in US
They never credit nazis, hence you haven't heard of them
@@williamzk9083
They only built the first transistor, Austro-Hungarian and British researchers wrote early papers on these transistors but apparently never built anything but prototypes which at the time were of no interest to the industries. Same with MOSFET was a concept from Austrian researchers but never saw mass production until the 60s
@@SMGJohn Herbert Mataré & Heinrich Welker worked on German WW2 radar. Matare recalled seeing what he retrospectively realized was amplification on the duo diodes they were working on. Interesting to think what might have happened had he perused what he saw and invented the transistor in say 1942/43. Herbert Mataré & Heinrich Welker actually had their transistor in production years before anyone in the US did. They were tungsten point contact transistors.
@@williamzk9083
Yes, history is always full of people who invent and even build it, but never get anywhere for not themselves understanding the importance of it, and its hard to argue against it, I mean had Herbert and Heinrich actually done the transistor in 1942, the Germans could potentially have won the war because they would have obtained proximity fuse, the challenge with shooting down the bombers was accuracy, but proximity fuse was a long dream of all sides and its hard to argue against the proximity shell winning the air war in Pacific, God be helping if the Germans had it by 1943, it would been impossible to bomb the mainland, the allies were at least 5~ years away from rockets capable of striking Germany with precision.
It was a neat idea, but it wouldn't have worked. Trying to build up that much speed on the ground (speaking to the 1200mph run before lifting off) would have caused it to begin to melt before it ever left the ground. I also have strong doubts as if it could have stored enough fuel to power itself in a single stage from the ground.
People seem to forget that atmospheric heating is a thing no matter what direction you are going.
Yeah I think someone did the math and basically the entire project was a massive waste of time because it was absolutely infeasible. Basically it sucked money away from the Germans when it could have been spent on something like the v2
@@lilhombrae3532 For all of its evilness, the "third reich" was very much like a DLC in a video game in regard to all the scientific goodies the Allies found after the war was over.
All of these things, including space craft, *would* eventually be turned into real products, but it would take decades (multiple decades in some cases) for them to come to fruition.

@@rolflandale2565 homie what
I am surprised that there is no mention of the Boeing X-20 "Dyna-soar" project? It is a further development of this that helped lead to the space shuttle.
Yeah, that plane would've needed about 6,000 m/s of delta v to achieve those speeds. And with the V2 only having an exhaust velocity of around 2,000 m/s... The rocket equation states that they'd need about 200 metric tons of fuel to get the 10 tons of spaceplane up to speed. I don't think they could've handled that with the materials science of the time.
The rocket equation is pseudoscience.
-Werner von Braun Chose alcohol as the fuel for the A4 (V2) because it wouldn't gum up or clag the regeneratively cooled combustion chambers, injectors etc. However Saenger after experiments settled on LOX/Kerosene as the fuel and I believe got to in excess of 2800 m/sec exhaust velocity (maybe 3000 m/sec) which was about 1000m/sec greater than the V2. I believe he used a pressurized water cooled jacket as an interposing loop to ensure the hydrocarbon didn't break down. I suspect they would have simply approached I.G.Farben and used a synthetic non gumming hydrocarbon coming out of the Fischer Tropsch Plants.
-Encyclopedia Astranautix refers to Mach 13 as the peak speed (that's about 3900 m/sec). That implies a mass fraction of just over 4:1 which is achievable (V2 was about 4.5:1). The sled was to release the vehicle to 250 m/sec (about Mach 0.83). The Hypersonic Glide ratio was to be about 5:1 and the subsonic glide ratio about 7.5:1. The ability to climb through winged flight is worth a fair amount in delta v.
-The aircraft seems very testable to me. You would simply accelerate a glider version down the sled/track and check forces such as lift, drag, moment on the vehicle. Then one would progress to a release and glide to a landing at a runway down range of the track. Gradually propulsion would be added and the flight envelop extended.
-The airfoil was rhombic double wedge. There were plenty of suitable and affordable metals to use such as the cromadur and tinidur used on the Jumo 004 jet engine or the sicromal used on the BMW 003 all capable of considerable strength to nearly 1000 degrees C. I do think they would need refractory ceramics on the leading edges and nose. Either a graphite based material as used on the V2 or a ceramic. The MAN company had built ceramic turbine blades to try to replace the use of metals.
@@williamzk9083 so you think a rocket can exceed the velocity of its exhaust? Lol no, Newton is very clear it cannot.
@@papalegba6796Why couldn't it?

The turbopump in the V2 rocket was insanely ahead of its time. Crazy engineering for the time.

@@MangoMarc96 Yes, it is, and for its time was highly advanced. There are some videos on You Tube abouts its design, production and operation. It was a very neat thing to learn about.

Another fantastic video, have you ever heard of the Coandă-1910, A Romanian/French plane built in 1910 and believed to be the first Turbo-Jet aircraft, predating the first jet plane by almost 30 years and only 7 years after the first wright brothers flight.
_Thanks! Never heard of that plane _*_. . ._*
Wasn't a turbojets, he used a piston engine to compress air before injecting into a combustion chamber and ejected the burned gasses through a nozzle, the correct name for this type of engines is motorjet. But actually Coandă make a prototype and accidentally destroyed it in a test that should be limited to ground, but because of lack of experience ended in a accidental liftoff.
@Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus Coandă was Romanian but that plane was built in France, and eventually he remains in that county and end his life as a french, somehow like South Africa born Elon Musk is American now.
@@theOrionsarms wasnt that confirmed to just be him lying?
@@therealtony2009 was accused to be a liers, by the people who use to say that a airplanes cannot fly without a propeller, that makes it a person with reputation tarnished at least for the next 35 years, but eventually he was recognized as a respectable scientist and engineer, even if only for discovery of Coandă effect, how many of his detractors have a physical process named after them?
Man, early to mid 1900s tech was crazy. I wish they were real.
@@stevencramsie9172 that's what I meant.
And HG Wells came up with the idea of a death ray. It's called science fiction which happens when someone has a vivid imagination. Putting the fiction into practice is a lot more difficult.
They were also designing the A9/A10 configuration. The A9 was a V-2 (originally called the A4) with delta wings to glide further. The A10 was a first stage booster so that the A9 could hit New York.
Sounds very similar to the Redstone rocket.
cant belive Germany was so advanced at this time
Its another think to draw or make a scale model than making it work
the Nazis were the masters of making crazy stuff yet not having the will or manpower to build it
@@kulmabricks They built and tested the LOX Kerosene rocket engines, they worked and out performed anything for the next 10 years. They tested the shapes in Mach 5.5 Wind tunnels at Volkenrod. They had the alloys (cromadur, sicromal and tinidur all used also in gas turbines).
it never was: ua-cam.com/video/NnrauXbC7yM/v-deo.html
Having ideas doesn't make one advanced. Truly advanced societies are the ones that can sustain complex organizations together to realize the crazy ideas into real products.
It's essentially an earlier prototype concept of the Skylon UK model SSToL. Only to do mid-atmosphere high bombing. This Nazi model could've also been a first stage HRToL. With the top of it for a (giant) rocket/Shuttle carrier, with stages after to/from orbit, modernly.
Eugen and Irene falling in love (while in hiding from Russian spies) at the secluded farmhouse of the French countryside was kind of thrilling for that moment.
There was also a version of the V2 that was supposed to reach America (Amerikarakete) but was never built.
it was built and still stands in its silo in Ohrdruf 40 meters underground! ua-cam.com/video/h9AMMVcbqAs/v-deo.html

This was in Colliers Encyclopaedia in the 1960's. Probably my favourite space vehicle of all time. It just looked like it would work.
Well, it wouldn’t work. They massively underestimated the effects of atmospheric heating, so it would do a Colombia disaster the instant it touched the atmosphere.
Advanced aerospace plane… or just a really expensive draft dodge for the designer and his team (which happened quite a bit?)
Probably the later.
The true successor was the X-15, the Shuttle was the follow on from that. Without a functioning Reaction Control System - which took a long time to get right on the X-15 - they would loose control as soon as the air got to thin for conventional controls. They would never have gotten it lined up right for the "skip"
Wow, even the b2 stealth bomber cant go out of the stratosphere unlike this thing!
Considering this 'thing' was never produced or tested, it could have been anything on paper, what counts it what happens when built and tested..
It is kind of contradictory conclusion in the end - so it says the bounce based on calculations would have been greater... side effect being more heat, and that would require more heat shielding... but doesn't that as well mean that due to bounce being greater, less fuel would be required to reach the US?! In which case the payload capacity may have stayed the same or even became higher and all the extra weight required for heat shielding would have been possible by having less fuel on board... because bounce was actually more effective than thought in the beginning?
Sänger also developed the concept of regeneratively cooles rocket engines by the way
Nobody noticed that a part of wings is missing? Great video btw
Very Very accurate ! Thanks
I love the video, but, please, someone tell what is the name of the music playing at the beginning of this video? I've been trying to find out what it is since I heard it on the Great War channel and its driving me nuts!
Good work
As im watching this the topic of bouncing off the earths atmosphere it reminds me of the north American valkyrie which used its own weight to move even faster this was called "compression lift"
Scary thing is that this plane could had actually worked, only God knows how close was Hittler to achieve victory through terror weapons
If the Germans would have first got all the technology and then started the war in 1945, the world today would be different... Or if they would, ve won the war.. What nearly happened, but Hitler just Has interfered too many times, he wasn't good at war stuff, his generals were, but he not
And without Japan as ally
Germany didn't have the same access to enriched uranium that the USA, and that at this point in time the Eastern front with Russia was beginning to crumble.
We like to paint Germany as some kind of mythic "What if" monster, but in reality, they didn't have the economy to compete with 3 Super powers.
2:55 The flight profile would definitely not look like this.
It would be more like a wave.
this concept is very similar to the modern Hypersonic glide vehicle aka boost glide missile
Ever thought about making and selling those 3d models as merchandise?

I wonder if Gerry Anderson got the idea of launching Fireball XL5 the same way! The V1 worked on the same way! I suppose that it's possible that he did get the same way.
1:34 TAKE THAT SHINKANSEN!
Luftwaffe : aerial refueling may theoretically increase the range of bomber, but it's a new and immature technology, it is not realistic to plan to use during the ongoing conflict.
Also Lufwaffe : let's develop V-2 technology into an orbital bomber.
Manfred Griehl in "Luftwaffe Over Amerika" writes of German in Flight refueling tests in 1943 between a Ju 252 and a Ju 290 using a hose and drogue technique over what is now Czechoslovkia but was then part of the Reich/Germany. The tests were very successful according to the minutes of meeting Griehl published in the book detailing the conversation between Erhard Milch (Head of Luftwaffe procurement) and the Luftwaffe engineers responsible for the Ju 290 program. Tests and experiments had been going on with smaller aircraft since 1940. There are no photos of the 1943 but there are of the 1940 ones and there are diagrams of the era. Basically a hose with drogue was trailed by the receiving aircraft. The tanker flew below and behind and snagged the drogue with a spring loaded Y shaped fork about 2m behind above the cockpit that drew the hose into the tanker and it connected to the quick release/connect system. Fuel was then pumped up.
-I must say in these minutes Erhardt Milch left a bad impression with endless sarcasm about the impractical egg heads designing such systems and comments about how things would go wrong in "pea soup" bad weather. The Luftwaffe actually had marker homing beacons buoys called "Schwann See" that they dropped ahead of convoys so that u-boats and later patrol aircraft could find the convoy that could be used to ensure rendezvous in bad weather. These were also used by German Ju 88S1 pathfinders to to mark pathways between British radar coverage for German bombers and to create a beacon for He 111 bombers releasing V1 Buzz bombs. They certainly could have been used to ensure rendezvous with the tanker in bad weather should the tanker and receiver aircraft become separated. There were also "Schwann Luft" radio becons that descended by parachute and "Schwann Land" that radiated from the ground.
--Milch seems to have been sincere and wanted the best but it was better for the Luftwaffe when he was replaced by Siegfried Kneymeyer after Milch argued with Hitler over the Me 262.
-Tanker equipment had actually been designed for the He 177A0 and was supposed to extend patrol range to 9000 miles but we all know what happened to this aircraft program.
I wonder if something like this could be used for launching small satellites if said satellite also had a rocket engine of it's own.
No, it probably doesn't go fast enough to actually get something into a stable orbit.
You have to talk about the correct fuel that was intended for this spacecraft, it was SILAN gained from silicone fuel that burns with oxygen and nitrogen!

11:50
Lifetime tv Network: WRITE THAT DOWN
So….it was like an X-15ish sort of thing? Duration of propulsion was and still is the space plane problem.
I mean we built and flew the Bell X-1 rocket plane, with Chuck Yeager first breaking the sound barrier in 1947 with the help of The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics or NACA (The forerunner to NASA) We all know operation Paperclip gave many German scientists asylum in return for their research gained designing Nazi weapons and other technology. Operation T-Force, which was a joint U.S. - U.K. Army operation under operation Paperclip, with the mission to secure German scientific and industrial technology before it could be destroyed by retreating German forces or obtained by the Soviets. T-Force, under Paperclip, also examined 5000 German “targets,” specifically scientists with expertise in synthetic rubber and oil, catalysts, new designs in armor equipment, naval equipment, field radios, secret writing chemicals, aero medicine research, gliders, and most notably jet and rocket propelled aircraft, specifically the V-2.
So in a way, this technology was actually realized, just simply in a different form factor and with a different more peaceful purpose.
I don’t know why but I feel like with a few modifications it would be pretty good for transporting passengers to space.
Amazing aircraft 😲
This looks like something I would make in kerbal space program.

I choose to believe the calculation error was intentional
Damn, looks like a giant cruise missile
So, a horizontal ballistic missile
its more like a cruise missile
It flew into space in then returned to the atmosphere and used the lift to skip backing into space. This skipping process was very efficient, more efficient than ballistic flight or hypersonic flight and allowed great range as well as manouvetabillity. It could turn and return.
In a way. It would go ballistic after each bounce, so...
Sänger and his revolutionary ideas was one of the forefathers for the US space shuttle program.

Cool idea, but even if they'd successfully launched it, it likely would have burned up on reentry, especially with such a sharp, pointed nose. Modern analysis has shown that Sanger greatly underestimated the amount of aerodynamic heating.
my qquestion is actually how much of natzis tech was used in the usa till now and how many natzies were pardoned to make the nukes, the tailes jets , the space program and the stealth... coz lots of those german research papers were taken by usa ...and some more intresting papers on chemical and bio weapon ideas as well.

@@wogelson Germany and nazi germany are not the same country in any way, a german owes nothing to the nazi regime
Well, thanks to you guys, we got to the moon. So, I guess it ultimately worked out.
@@wogelson Shut up, he's german, he gets to feel however he wants about his country. Do you think he owes you a heil or something?
it's even worse if you consider all the scientists and engineers the nazis caused to leave germany, including albert einstein, and some key contributers of the manhattan project.
