The Germans developed pilot-less rockets that were designed to bomb England. He called these his Vengence Weapons and designated them as V-1 and V-2. V-1 was a small flying bomb that had wings and a tail and was powered by a ram-jet engine. It was launched off a long ramp in order to accelerate it enough for the ram-jet engine to start. The ram-jet(or pulse jet) engine is a simple engine that brings in air in the inlet at high speed and ignites it in short bursts. This produced the sound of a purring or buzzing. Thus the V-1 was also called the buzz bomb. The V-1 flew by itself on a course that would take it over London and the fuel would shut off and it would glide down to explode. The V-1 was not very fast and modern P-51 fighters could catch up to it and slip its wing under the wing of the V-1 and flip it over---this destablized the gyro and caused it to crash. The V-2 was a liquid fuel rocket---the first every intercontenital ballastic missile---developed by Warner von Braun. The first prototypes had problems exploding on the lauch pad but it did go into production. The rocket flew very high and then feel down on its intended target. The V-2 was a large rocket and you could see it flying in the air.
Also, the V2 was an 8 ton rocket that carried about 1,000 pounds of explosives. It had a range of 200 miles and rose to an altitude of 8 miles. Its high speed upon descent made it nearly impossible for interceptor aircraft or anti-aircraft guns to shoot it down. It's major flaw was its inaccuracy.

What country first made rockets during world war 2?
Deployable Rockets designed to carry a munitions payload would be Germany. With the V1 and V2 missiles.
What is v1 and v2 missiles?
the V1:The V1 flying bomb also know as the doodle bug, buzz bomb and V1 rocket, was a missile driven by a pulse jet engine was used by the Germans in world war 2 to bomb England to get ready for the invasion of Britain (operation sea lion) which later was called off, it used a gyroscope navigation system to guide it to its target, the fuel would run out above England and the bomb would fall out of the sky and explode. the V1 bomb had a large launch ramp which meant it could be sighted and bombed and could move. the V2:the V2 was also used by the Germans in world war 2 to bomb the British, unlike the V1 the V2 had a proper rocket engine (newly invented by the Germans) it was much faster than the V1 and had a bigger warhead the launch sites could be bombed because they were mobile and could be towed and set up anywhere. The V2 also was impossible for any fighters to catch up with unlike the V1 which was slow enough that the British invented the Hawker tempest and typhoon .the V in V1 and V2 stands for Vengeance weapon
What is was the Nazis strongest weapon in World War 2?
Land: King tiger Air: Me 262 Missile: V2
What did Wernher von Braun do in World War 2?
He lead the design team that built rockets for Germany, the most famous ones being the V1 and V2, the "Vergeltungswaffe", a flying bomb that was extensively used against English targets.
What weapons did the Germans use against Britain in World War 2?
If they were infantry soldiers they used the KAR 98 rifle or perhaps the MG 34 or FG 42 machine guns
Great Britain gets the V1-2 punch?
I don't know what you are asking, but the V1 and V2 were German rocket-bombs used in World War 2.CorrectionThe V1 was not a rocket.
What significant advances in rocketry were made in World War 2?
The Germans developed the V1 and V2 rockets.
Was the vulcan bomber used in World War 2?
blast bomb incendury bomb v1 rocket v2 rocket
What is the equation for the percentage difference of 20 and 31?
( | V1 - V2 | / ((V1 + V2)/2) ) * 100
What rocket was used by the Germans against the English in Wold War 2?
V1 and V2.
What country first made rockets during world war 2?
Deployable Rockets designed to carry a munitions payload would be Germany. With the V1 and V2 missiles.
If the width of a cube is twice the width of a second cube how do the volumes of the cubes compare?
The cube with twice the width has 8 times the volume of the first cube. Lets say Cube1 has width A lets say Cube2 has width 2*A so V1 = A cubed V2 = (2*A) cubed so A = the cubed root of V1 so V2 = (2 * (the cubed root of V1)) cubed so V2 = 2 cubed * V1 so V2 = 8 * V1
Why are they called V1 and V2 in World War 2?
the v1 and v2 were German rockets and i asume they stand for something German (the "v" i mean). Because of the places they were made and what they were made out of. They, although stand for nothing, were covert-ops type missiles designed mainly for clearing out garrisons and launching sneak attacks.
How can you solve this For two cylinders A and B the ratio of the lengths is 3 ratio1 and the ratio of diameters is 1 ratio 2 Calculate the ratio of their volumes?
V =piR^2 H , Since R=D/2 V= pi (D^2/4)H V1= pi(D1^2/4) H1 ( Vol first cylinder , Diameter D1 , height H1) V2= pi(D2^2/4) H2 Divide both V1/V2 =( D1^2/D2^2) (H1/H2) V1/V2= (D1/D2)^2 (H1/H2) V1/V2= (1/2)^2 (3/1) V1/V2= 3/4 then V1: V2 = 3:4
If acceleration=0, than according to "d=v2*t-1/2a*t^2" changed to get v2 is "v2=d+1/2a*t^2/t", but with acceleration=0, would v2=d V2=end velocity, d=distance, a=acceleration, t=time?
The equations of motion that relate velocity, distance, time and acceleration for the specific case of "constant acceleration" can be written as follow, acceleration a = (v2 - v1)/t from which v2 = v1 + at The distance covered during t time d = vav x t, where vav refers to average velocity in the process from v1 to v2. For the case of constant acceleration vav = (v1 + v2)/2. Substituting in d we get d = (v1 + v2)/2 x t from which, v2 = 2d/t - v1 If we take the constant acceleration to be zero, a = 0, you can see that the second equation we wrote becomes, v2 = v1 (There is no acceleration), so our equation for the distance d becomes, d = v1 x t = v2 x t
What is the advantage of a system with more than one type of output?
The most common multi output systems are used for getting differential output. i.e., if V1 and V2 are the 2 outputs, then usually the difference, V2-V1 or V1-V2 is used.
Who led he V1 and V2?
The V1 and V2 were German military weapons during World War 2. The V1 was a flying bomb also called a buzz bomb. It used a type of jet engine. It worked similar to a drone. The V2 was a bomb carrying rocket. It was designed by Werner von Braun. He used designs by Goddard from the US patent office. He also started the American space program, which put a man on the moon.
