Bachem Ba 349
The Bachem Ba 349 Natter ((英語:Colubrid, grass-snake)〔Usually mis-translated as "Viper" or "Adder". However, these terms always refer to venomous snakes, while ''Natter'' traditionally denotes a non-venomous snake, especially the common grass-snake of Europe (''Natrix natrix''). Technically, the literal English translation of ''Natter'' would be "colubrid"; there is no corresponding vernacular English term, while the German word for a viper or adder is ''Otter''. The similarity of the words "''Natter''" and "adder" and the fact that the only widespread snake species in Britain is a viper/adder may have caused the frequent confusion.〕) was a World War II German point-defence rocket-powered interceptor, which was to be used in a very similar way to a manned surface-to-air missile. After a vertical take-off, which eliminated the need for airfields, most of the flight to the Allied bombers was to be controlled by an autopilot. The primary role of the relatively untrained pilot was to aim the aircraft at its target bomber and fire its armament of rockets. The pilot and the fuselage containing the rocket-motor would then land using separate parachutes, while the nose section was disposable. The only manned vertical take-off flight on 1 March 1945 ended in the death of the test pilot, Lothar Sieber.
==Development==
In 1943 ''Luftwaffe'' air superiority was being challenged by the Allies over the ''Reich'' and radical innovations were required to overcome the crisis. Surface-to-air missiles appeared to be a promising approach to counter the Allied strategic bombing offensive; a variety of projects were started, but invariably problems with the guidance and homing systems prevented any of these from attaining operational status.〔Dryden 1945, pp. 1-11.〕 Providing the missile with a pilot, who could operate a weapon during the brief terminal approach phase, offered a solution. Submissions for a simple target defence interceptor were requested by the ''Luftwaffe'' in early 1944 under the umbrella of the "Emergency Fighter Program".〔Proctor 1945〕〔Pabst 1984, p. 166.〕 A number of simple designs were proposed, including the Heinkel P.1077 ''Julia'', in which the pilot lay prone (on his stomach), to reduce the frontal area. The ''Julia'' was the front-runner for the contract. The initial plan was to launch the aircraft vertically, but this concept was later changed to a conventional horizontal take-off from a tricycle-wheeled trolley, similar to that used by the first eight prototypes of the Arado Ar 234 jet reconnaissance bomber.〔Bachem 1944b〕
