General Characteristics and Role

The Fieseler Fi 103, better known by the Nazi propaganda name Vergeltungswaffe Eins (“Vengeance Weapon 1”) or V-1, was the world’s first operational cruise missile. Developed by Germany during World War II, it was a pilotless aircraft powered by a simple pulsejet engine, which produced a distinctive loud, sputtering sound that earned it the nickname “Buzz Bomb” or “Doodlebug” from the British. The V-1’s primary purpose was to be launched against large target areas, particularly London and later Antwerp, as a terror weapon in response to Allied bombing raids on Germany. Though highly inaccurate, its deployment marked a significant step in missile technology.

Tillverkare Gerhard Fieseler Werke
Service Entry 13 June 1944
besättning 0 (Unmanned)
Launch Weight Approx. 2,150–2,250 kg (4,740–4,960 lb)

Powerplant and Performance

  • Engine: One Argus As 109-014 Pulsejet impulse duct engine.
  • Thrust: Approx. 300 kgf (660 lbf).
  • Fuel: Gasoline (propelled by compressed air rather than a fuel pump).
  • Maximum Speed: 640–650 km/h (400–405 mph).
    • Note: This relatively low speed allowed it to be intercepted by fast fighter aircraft like the Hawker Tempest and Spitfire.
  • Operational Range: Approx. 240–330 km (150–205 mi).
  • Service Ceiling: Approx. 600–900 m (2,000–3,000 ft).
  • Launch Method: Primarily launched from inclined ground-based ramps using a steam catapult (Walter Catapult), or air-launched from Heinkel He 111 bombers.

Guidance and Warhead

  • Guidance System: Simple gyrocompass-based autopilot (Askania) for directional stability and a pre-set air log/propeller counter.
  • Targeting Mechanism: Distance was controlled by a small nose-mounted propeller which, after a set number of rotations, would trigger a mechanism to cut the fuel supply and cause the missile to dive onto its target.
  • Warhead: High-explosive Amatol 39 or Trialen.
  • Warhead Weight: Approx. 850 kg (1,870 lb).
  • Inaccuracy: The crude guidance system meant the V-1 was inaccurate, limiting its use to large population centers.
  • Variant: The Fieseler Fi 103R Reichenberg was a late-war manned version intended for suicide missions, though never operationally deployed.
