Test Firing of R-1 Guided Missile, "Rheintochter"
Abstract
A single launching of an R-1 missile is described. With a launching angle of 45 degrees, the missile reached a distance of 5800 meters in 58 seconds of flight. Immediately after the launching, the positive deflection of the elevator caused a noticeable straightening of the trajectory. After a flight of about five seconds the rolling stabilizer failed, causing a visible spiraling of the missile.
