Kramer Ruhrstahl X-4 - Deutsches Museum, Munich - 8 October 2002 |
The X-4 air-to-air missile was specifically developed for use with the Focke-Wulf Fw190 under project 8-344. Propelled by a BMW 109-548 liquid-fuel rocket motor, the X-4 was manually controlled using a forerunner of the joystick. Control signals were transmitted by wires which were spooled from two streamlined containers on the cruciform wings. |
