Pulse Jet. A model one called a Dyna Jet was available for control line flying. Nev

The boffins must have been pretty good to get the Navigation for the distance traveled,  windage included.  As well as the fuel cutout. At the intended  target.

With a speed of 400 mph, over 100 to 150 miles, wind effects would not push the V1 way off target, especially when the target was not a specific site, but a whole urban area. The idea of the V1 was terror, not precision targetting.

They made  candle powered Putt Putt little boats that used a similar theory when I was small but it was steam that it used. .  Wonder what that one sounds like? Think the dyna Jet would have a higher efflux speed and run hotter ='s more efficiency.  Nev
