Aerospace Projects Review, Issue Volume Five Number Six

APR Home Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 3 Volume 4 Volume 5

The biggest article in APR history. This article covers the development of the A-series of rockets in pre-wartime and wartime Germany, from the A-1, A-2 and A-3 test rockets to the A-4 (V-2) ballistic missile, all the way up to the A-9/A-10 ICBM project and the A-11 satellite launcher and the A-12 "Space Shuttle." Also revealed is Werner von Brauns early concept for a space station; the Antipodal Bomber "Silverbird" by Eugen Sanger, and discussion of dubious and downright fraudulent notions for wartime German spacecraft. The rarely seen A-7 and A-8 are illustrated, along with a great many winged variants of the A-4.

This article is copiously illustrated with actual German engineering schematics, contemporary artwork, and accurate modern line-drawing reconstructions.

This article by Dennis Jenkins covers a number of the designs Boeing put forth to win the B-70 contract. This includes subsonic and supersonic concepts; conventional and bizarre designs; single stage and multi-stage aircraft; even hydrogen fueled and nuclear powered designs. A great many detailed drawings including three-views and inboard profiles.
