The He 111Z Zwilling (translated as “twin” in English) was an inventive design that combined two He 111 aircraft. This design concept was initially developed for the purpose of towing the Messerschmitt Me 321 glider.

To begin with, four He 111 H-6s underwent modifications to create this new model. The resulting aircraft featured a distinctive twin-fuselage structure powered by five engines. These modified planes underwent testing at Rechlin in 1941, where pilots gave them favorable reviews for their performance.

In terms of its configuration, the He 111Z positioned the pilot and all flight controls exclusively in the left (port) fuselage. The right (starboard) section retained only essential equipment, with control systems removed.

The first and only manned vertical take-off flight of the Bachem Ba 349 Natter took place on 1 March 1945. The Natter was a German point-defense rocket-powered interceptor, which was to be used in a very similar way to a manned surface-to-air missile. The test flight ended in the death of the test pilot.

A Soviet TB-3 bomber dropping a T-37 light tank into a lake. This looks crazy, but at the time they were investigating whether dropping tanks straight into action without landing was possible. The tank was amphibious, so it was hoped that it would float after hitting the water, however in every test the tanks were destroyed by the impact.
