The DFS 228 was planned to be launched in piggyback position by another aircraft and to be powered by the same rocket engine as the Me-163 for flight far above any other aircraft. I would also dispute that this would have been harder to design than an ejection seat - at that time (1943) you couldn't get them that easily. | |
