| The aircraft was used for the first test flight of the Argus VSR-9a pulse jet engine in 1941, this early version of the pulse jet had a thrust of 120 kg. The aircraft was fitted with a sheet-metal cover over the bottom of the fuselage to protect it from the very hot exhaust, the pulse jet it's self was fixed in such away that it would lay close to the underside of the fuselage at take off and landing, to be swung into place when in use. The first flight was on the 30/4/1941 at E-Stelle Diepensee with the pilot being Flugkapitän Staege |
