This project of a rocket propelled fighter began in the early summer
of 1944 and was originally known as the P.1068.

Walter HWK 109-509 A rocket engine was the main powerplant, and four
solid fuel rockets assisted take off. Take off was to be made vertically
and landing was done on a skid. Armament was to be
two MK 108 30mm cannon. The first full mock-up, along with the plans
and completed components, were destroyed in an air raid at the end
of 1944. Two unpowered prototypes were 90% completed when the plant
was overrun by Soviet troops.
