		Walter’s experience with marine engines here led him to become interested in overcoming some of the limitations of the internal combustion engine.
		The proposal was met with much scepticism, but Walter persisted, and in 1937 showed his plans to Karl Dönitz, who was able to assist in obtaining a contract to produce a prototype.
		In 1945, Walter was awarded the Knight's Cross for his wartime service, but the end of the war saw all of his research materials confiscated by the British military and Walter and his colleagues taken to the UK to work for the Royal Navy.

		With Walterâs co-operation, one of the German submarines using his drive, the U-1407 was raised from where it had been scuttled and re-commissioned as HMS ''Meteorite''.

		Walter also realised that another fuel could be injected into this hot mixture of gases to provide combustion and therefore more power.
		Whilst working on submarines, Walter also suggested using a snorkel to allow conventional, diesel-electric submarines to cruise along just below the waterâs surface in relative safety whilst charging their batteries.
		The high pressure gas mixture created by the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide could not only be used in a turbine, but if simply directed out of a nozzle, created considerable thrust.

		Walters had experienced difficulties with C-Stoff cooling of the combustion chamber.
		C-Stoff was also a comparatively costly fuel, and Walters were running a constant search for alternatives to use with the peroxide.
		However, the cooling (heat transfer) properties of some of these were insufficient for optimal operating of the combustion chamber, and T-Stoff cooling was seen as a viable alternative.

	Hellmuth Walter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Hellmuth Walter (August 26 1900 — December 16 1980) was a German engineer who pioneered research into rocket engines and gas turbines.
		Walter also realised that another fuel could be injected into this hot mixture of gasses to provide additional combustion and therefore more power.
		The original design of simply decomposing hydrogen peroxide was soon augmented by injecting extra fuel into the hot, high-pressure gasses, and later a second combustion chamber was added to allow for more precise control of the engine.

		The 346 design was intended to be air-launched from the back of a large aircraft, the baseline being the Do 217.
		After launch from the bomber the plane's two Walter 509B engines would accelerate the craft to about Mach 2.6 at about 30,500m, where it would cut out.
		In an operational use the plane would then glide over England for a photo-reconnaissance run, descending as it flew but still at a high speed.

		Because of problems with the cabin pressurisation system, the second prototype accommodated the pilot in a prone position.
		Some forty flights were made with the prototypes, and installation of a Walter HWK 109-509 rocket was to have taken place in February 1945, but the project fell by the wayside as the war situation became more desperate.
		The second prototype was destroyed in an air raid in May 1945, and the first prototype was captured by US troops in June.

		Easily the most radical as well as the fastest aircraft of World War II, this short range interceptor stemmed from the DFS 194 rocket test aircraft started in 1938 under the direction of Professor Alex Lippisch.
		In 1939 Lippisch was tranferred to Messerschmitt and the project turned into a combat aircraft, finally flying on the 3750lb thrust of its Walter HWK 109-509 rocket in August 1943.
		A small tailless machine, the 163B Komet took off from a trolley and landed on a sprung skid.

		In 1939 Lippish decided that his preliminary research aircraft, the all-wood DFS-194,could in fact be flown by the rocket and not by the intended small piston engine.
		The summer of 1944 saw the introduction of a new rocket motor, the HWK 509C,which supplanted the 1700 kg thrust HWK 509A fitted to the ME-163B.The new motor had a 300 g thrust cruising chamber, and powered flight endurance was greatly increased when the new unit was incorporated into the redesigned ME-163C,
		As they were still only armed with two MG 151 or MK 108 cannons, they probably would have had the same limited success as the 163-B craft.

		For the sum of 20 million Reichmarks, Japan also purchased the manufacturing rights to the Walter HWK 109-509 rocket engine together with one completed example.

		Power was to be by two Walter HWK 109-509 engines of 2,000 lbs thrust; similar to what was used with the Me-163/263 rocket interceptors.
		It was widely believed that the aircraft existed and was searched for after the war by the Allies.

	Me 163 production
		The design bureau took up the task of designing this VSTOL aircraft, but due to commitments in the Bf 108, 109 and 110 design the work was passed on to Rohrbach Metallflugzeugbau (Berlin), a company in the proces of being absorbed into Weserflugzeugbau (Lemwerder).
		The production of the Walter engine lagged behind considerably, and in January 1944 all B-0's and half of the B-1's were ready, but no engines were available.
		It is quite well possible that this system was also used for the Komet: the 'a' suffix designating the version(s) equipped with the Walter HWK 109-509, the 'b' for those version(s) fitted with the alternative BMW P 3330A engine.

		The D.F.S. did not have the facilities for construction of such an aircraft, and Lippisch began his association with Messerschmitt in January 1939.
		The RAF raid that same night on the Peenemunde research station resulted in the Me-163 program being moved to another research station in eastern Germany; both of these events delayed production and introduction of the fighter operationally.
		If all the fuel was not used in flight, there was also the possibility of an explosion on touchdown.

		Probably all variants can be found somewhere in industrial, military and other documents of the time, but for the RLM it was essentially always an "8-109".
		Similar to piston engines, jet engines of all types (turbojet, turboprop, ramjet, pulsejet, rocket) were also designated by 3-digit model numbers, but used a prefix number of 109.
		To distinguish between air-breathing and rocket engines, the former received numbers in the range 001-499, while the latter used the range 500-999.

		I opted to build the second option, White 11, as the mottle over RLM 76 paint scheme offered a challenge (though what Luftwaffe mottle scheme doesn’t?).
		My initial idea was to do a quick build from the box for the first one (I will be building a second as I have a hankering for the beautiful all-red aircraft and an Extratech 1/72 resin Walter HWK 109-509 rocket), but there are a few glaring areas that need addressing.
		One was the lack of structure behind the pilot’s seat, which can be seen through the quarter panels, and the second that Academy has only moulded two skid mounting struts instead of the real aircraft’s three.
