Silbervogel (German for "silver bird") was a design for a liquid-propellant rocket-powered sub-orbital bomber produced by Eugen Sänger and Irene Bredt in the late 1930s for The Third Reich. It is also known as the RaBo (Raketenbomber – "rocket bomber").

The Sänger Amerika Bomber (or Orbital Bomber, Antipodal Bomber or Atmosphere Skipper) was designed for supersonic, stratospheric flight (please see diagram below). The fuselage was flattened, which helped create lift and the wings were short and wedge shaped.

Saenger or Sänger was a West German concept design for a two-stage-to-orbit spaceplane. It is named after Eugen Sänger, who had been a key figure in the development of the concept for aerospace company Junkers. [2][3] Its first incarnation, designated as Saenger I, started development during the 1960s.

Saenger-Bredt antipodal bomber - sled launched, boosted to suborbital velocity, 'skips' off upper atmosphere to deliver bomb load on target, recovery back at launch site. Fascinated Stalin, led to US Dynasoar project. Post-war, Saenger designed two-stage HTOHL space shuttles in Germany. AKA: Saenger. Status: Study 1943.

2023年6月27日 · The Silbervogel (later known as the Antipodal bomber) was a rocket-powered bomber created as a concept in the late 1930s by scientists Eugen Sänger and Irene Bredt for the Nazi regime. The idea was based on Sänger’s extensive research into rocket engines and aerospace technology while he was a doctoral student in Vienna.
