The fact that they were both colourless liquids meant that handling accidents were common, as in the case of one unfortunate ground crewman who inadvertently poured a container of T-Stoff into another containing a small quantity of C-Stoff. As author William Green recounts: “Before he realized the magnitude of his mistake his remains had been spread thinly over the entire test shed.”
Delightful.
engineers: lets fill it with human dissolving liquid, what could go wrong?
pilots: 🫠
And this is what happens when you combine the aeromorph and vore fetishes
I’m reading this article in Simon Whistler’s voice. It’s impossible not to.

we’re all just innocent farmboys… now shut up and pass me that box of grenades…
Whoa, this is neat. And the site reminds be of stmbleupon
Still less evil than cold borscht.
Wow damn
Remind me of Raiders of the Lost Ark
iirc this thing was insanely good to fly but insanely dangerous to fly.
I’d heard the exact opposite about it being good to fly, specifically that it was incredibly hard to turn
If you know where you’re going, you don’t have to turn!
Oh yeah, this is a rocket plane. You only get a few minutes of bat-out-of-hell fwooshing before the fuel runs out and you engage in a controlled descent looking for some place to
crashnot crashditch safely, and then walk away (hopefully not in enemy-controlled territory). The prop assisted in providing a bit more range on descent.It it weren’t in the middle of a war, this might be a ballsy sport.
On actually seeing the aircraft fly, Udet reportedly flew into a rage, declaring: “That is no airplane, leave it alone! I forbid you to fly it again.”
Most credible Generaloberst Ernst Udet, tut tut no vision

isn’t that the jet that used human dissolving fuel
Gold
If the Luftwaffe flight sims informed, its not the tendency of the plane to explode due to mismanaged engines that’ll kill you, but the super-finicky landing skids on terrain, rather than wheels on a landing strip.
But then, going up against a sea of B-17s in a Bf-109 was pretty suicidal anyway, so Luftwaffe pilots were willing to try anything, including rocket planes.
Tbf, it was pretty suicidal for the day bombing B-17s too. They were some brave MFs.
They were getting desperate late in the war.
A “probably-one-way 🤷🏼♂️” plane would at least seem better than a Zero kamikaze.
