Junkers EF 126
The Junkers EF 126 was an experimental fighter proposed by the German Miniaturjägerprogramm of 1944–1945, for a cheap and simple fighter powered by a pulsejet engine. No examples were built during the war, but the Soviet Union completed both unpowered and powered prototypes. The design of the Ju EF 126 was developed into the Junkers EF 127, a rocket-powered version.
