Like the Aurora project they are not sure if it actually existed, The Germans were rumored to be working on some circular winged aircrafts and other oddly shaped flying vehicles. There were four prototype aircrafts under the Haunebu name and they were numbered accordingly from 1-4. BMW were also credited in working on one of these circular aircrafts named the BMW Flügelrad V-1.
This is supposed to be the later version of the "Haunebu II" supposable constructed in 1944.
The 1944, Haunebu II was an aircraft that was rumored to travel at 2000km/h.

Basically this is a cut-rate version of the B-17 Bomber and the Avro Lancaster. The plane's fatal flaw - its ability to set itself on fire - earned the nicknames of "Luftwaffe's Lighter", or "Burning Coffin".

Even though 1,170 examples of this were built, all of them were scrapped and had little impact on the war.

One of the most dangerous and flammable planes ever produced in the war. It's been said that Soviet pilots joked about it, giving it the translated name of "Guaranteed Varnished Coffin".

Like a week or two back. We also include sea vehicles and space craft. :D


Well, that's probably a good thing, because my collection of screenshots will find some useful applying.

So this is based off a Revel model kit from like 2017 called the Haunebu II. It was discontinued since Revel made a fake description that claimed some ludicrous things this vehicle was capable of doing, but did not mention that the craft was never actually produced nor existed.

As such they got criticism from German children toy groups and military historians, who felt that the model's description seemed to paint a picture of Nazi Technology capabilities that far exceeded what was actually possible. So the product was discontinued.

One of the things it was claimed to be able to do was fly at a speed of 6000 kph.
