	Bachem Ba 349 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bachem Ba 349 Natter ("Colubrid") was a WWII era German experimental rocket-powered interceptor aircraft which was to be employed in a very similar way as surface-to-air missiles.
		The pilot's primary mission was to aim the aircraft at its target bomber and fire its armament of rockets, with the majority of the flight to the bombers being radio controlled from the ground, and landing under a parachute.
		Two Ba 349s are still existent—one at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C., and one at the Deutsches Museum, Munich, Germany.

		The Bachem Ba 349 Natter (Viper), a semi-expendable, vertically-launched, piloted missile, was one of the several desperate yet ingenious measures improvised to defend the German skies.
		The Ba 349 was built using bonded and screwed wooden parts, a simple metal structure and armored cockpit.
		Bachem proposed that, as American bombers approached their target, the Ba 349 would be sent soaring vertically through the formation.

		Bachem got the extra thrust from four Schmidding 109-533 solid-fuel rocket motors that he bolted to the aft fuselage, two per side.
		It is safe to assume that the Bachem Ba 349A Natter was a bad idea from the start and as a bomber interceptor, it was a total failure.
		The Ba 349A displayed at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California is a wooden mock-up.

	Bachem Ba 349
		Possibly the oddest plane to ever fly, the Bachem Ba 349 Natter (Viper) is more properly thought of as a manned SAM.
		The front runner for the design was initially a Heinkel[?] design that took off from a rail and landed on a skid like the Me 163 Komet.
		Erich Bachem's BP20 was a warmed-over design from when he worked at Fieseler, but considerably more radical than the other offerings.

	Bachem Ba.349
		The Bachem Ba.349 "Natter" was a small piloted interceptor, launched from a vertical ramp.
		However, a new proposal was pushed forward by its designer Erich Bachem which was a semi-expendable target defence interceptor; half way between the original requirement and a flak missile, Bachem's BP 20 could be deployed in a similar fashion to the "Julia" but was less complex for the pilot.
		However, Bachem was convinced of the viability of his design and sought an interview with Heinrich Himmler - the BP 20 was reconsidered within hours, and allocated a high development priority with the official designation Ba.349.

		In the spring of 1944, when the situation for the Reich was clearly becoming desperate, the RLM issued a requirement for a small and cheap interceptor, built mainly of wood and intended for defense of point targets.
		Bachem submitted a proposal even though he hadn't been included in the competition.
		Bachem began detailed design work on the Natter in August 1944 at a small factory at Waldsee in the Black Forest.

	Bachem Ba 349
		In Germany, in late 1943 to early 1944, high altitude bombing from the Americans and British was gradually destroying the industrial might of the Third Reich, and unless something was done to stop the bombing, the entire ability of Germant to wage war would be cut off.
		This did not slow the development, and more inexperienced pilots were strapped into the Ba 349 and launched off into the sky, the lucky ones managing to survive the launch.
		A simple ring sight was mounted on the nose of the Ba 349 for aiming.

	Bachem Ba 349B-1 Natter (BP-20)
		Werner von Baun first proposed the concept in 1939 but the Reichluftfahrtministerium (German Air Ministry or RLM) rejected it as "unnecessary and unworkable." Bachem, an engineer with the Fieseler works, thought the idea had merit.
		Oberleutnant Lothar Siebert climbed into a Ba 349A, strapped in, and rocketed off the launch tower.
		The Deutsches Museum, Munich, Germany, displays a Ba 349A restored in the colors and markings of one of the unmanned test aircraft.

		The Ba 349 was a small, partly-expendable rocket-engined fighter.
		The pilot was to attack a bomber formation with the rockets in the nose of the little aircraft.
		Only tests flights were made, but the Ba 349 was put on operational status in April 1945.

	Fantasy of Flight's Bachem Natter
		Developed in the closing stages of World War II this was one of the X-type projects that the Germans tried.
		Constructed of wood in 250 man-hours with unskilled labor, the Ba 349 Natter was designed to be launched vertically, when enemy bomber formations were sighted in the area.
		Initial gliding tests were done in 1944 by dropping the test aircraft from a Heinkel He-111 bomber from 18,000 feet.

		Hellmuth Walter (August 26, 1900 — December 16, 1980) was a German engineer who pioneered research into rocket engines and gas turbines.
		His most noteworthy contributions were rocket motors for the Messerschmitt Me 163 and Bachem Ba 349 interceptor aircraft, JATO units used for a variety of Luftwaffe aircraft during World War II, and a revolutionary new propulsion system for submarines known as air-independent propulsion (AIP).
		Walter began training as a machinist in 1917 in Hamburg and in 1921 commenced studies in mechanical engineering at the Hamburg Technical Institute.

		Pictured: Bachem BA-349 'Natter' or 'Viper' with its inventor Eric Bachem climbing into the cockpit.
		The Bachem Natter was one of the odder Hitler 'wonder weapons.' The rocket-propelled semi-expendable fighter-interceptor was launched vertically, like a missile.
		Designed to destroy American bomber formations with a nose-cone full of high-explosive rockets, the Natter would be abandoned by the pilot, with part of the aircraft jettisoned for re-use.

		The pilot-operated Bachem Ba 349 "Natter" ("Adder") was one of several unexpected new weapons Germany was seeking to perfect for a more effective defense against Allied heavy bombers.
		The idea of the ground-to-air missile to slow down, if not stop, attacking aircraft was one of the greatest developments to come out of World War II, and Germany led the field.

		By the Spring of 1944, it had become evident to the German High Command that the steadily escalating daylight offensive against the industry of the Third Reich being mounted by the U.S.A.A.F. could no longer be countered by orthodox means alone.
		Erich Bachem who suggested an inexpensive vertically-launched semi-expendable rocket-propelled target-defense interceptor.
		The alternative, the Rheinmetall SG 119 consisted of six clusters, each cluster containing seven MK108 barrels grouped together in a cylinder with the clusters arranged about the Viper's nose as in a revolver.

		What was needed was a point defense interceptor that was fast, lethal and didn't need an airfield.
		Amongst several of the expendable fighters offered was the Bachem Ba-349A.
		Built mostly of non strategic material (wood and steel), the Natter was designed to fire a volley of R4M rockets in it's nose and for the pilot to then bail out of his aircraft.

		It was designed to be launched vertically, fire its rocket armament into a bomber formation, and then come apart in mid-air; the forward section would be thrown away, the rear section would descend by parachute to be re-used, and the pilot would descend on his own parachute.
		The initial version, the Ba 349A, was powered by four 11.77 kN Schmidding 109-533 booster rockets and one 16.67 kN Walter 109-509A-2 sustainer rocket; 20 of this version were built, the Ba 349B had a 509C motor, with cruise setting, doubling endurance.
		There were plans for a Ba 349C with a more powerful rocket and a larger tail for better control.
