 EMW Wasserfall Luft '46 entry
Since the Wasserfall was to have to stand ready for launching at a moment's notice, and it would have to stay fueled for possibly months on end, the liquid oxygen/alcohol fuel system of the A-4 could not be used.
One of these was that the rupture disc in the oxidant line was lower than the one in the fuel line, this was to insure that an excess of oxidant was in the combustion chamber first, thus preventing a fuel-rich explosion.
The Wasserfall can be seen as the grandfather of the antiaircraft missile, as shortly after WWII the US developed the successful NIKE antiaircraft missile, with the help of Dr. Werner von Braun at White Sands in the New Mexico desert.

 Wasserfall
The Wasserfall surface to air missile was launched from a table, as was the V-2.
The missile was optically steered to its target, and had a potential range of 26 km and ceiling of 18 km, with a flight speed of 600 m/s.
By this time, the Peenemuende staff was allocated as follows: 135 were working on Taifun anti-aircraft barrage rocket; 1940 were working on the V-2; 1220 were working on the Wasserfall surface-to-air missile; 270 were working on the A4b winged V-2; and 660 were in administrative positions.

 R-101
There was nothing available at all on the exhaust vanes used to vector the missiles thrust; nothing on the guidance; nothing on the antennae of the radio-command system.
This airframe was called the Obmerochniy, or master template, was tested for materials used in construction, and became the source for all dimensions for the R-101.
The R-101 used the S08.01 engine, which was built by German Wasserfall rocket engineers at Section 8 under the supervision of N L Umanskiy.

 Remote Piloted Aerial Vehicles : The 'Aerial Target' and 'Aerial Torpedo' in Germany   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Wasserfall was a German radio-controlled supersonic guided missile for anti-aircraft purpose.
It was designed to meet a demand for a missile that would intercept hostile aircraft flying at 19,812m (65,000ft) altitude at 880km/h (550mph) and at ranges up to 48km (30 miles) from the launch site.
Wasserfall would have been a powerful and fearsome addition to Germany's air defenses if only more were produced on time.
