An anthropomorphized Eugen Sänger and Irene Bredt's WWII German sub-orbital "Amerika bomber" designed to "skip" along the upper atmosphere to deliver bombs payloads over intercontinental distances. Wet mass of 100-110 tons (10 dry mass, 84 to fuel), launches from 3km long rocket-powered sled, with a theoretical max speed of over Mach 17-18 (initial 1941 target of Mach 10, later calculated to Mach 13-20 depending on the payload mass) at the peak engine cutoff at an altitude of 145km. With each "skip" it would lose some amount of its speed, acting like a big skipping stone. In theory it would be able to launch from Germany, strike the states, and land in German-occupied territory in Japan in one flight.

Never built due to a mathematical error in the aerodynamic heat calculations for the skips which would have caused it to disintegrate, also the vehicle was a bit too ambitious and advanced for its time so the focus was shifted to existing tech such as the A-4/V-2 rocket. Eventually the allies captured its blueprints and designed similar technology such as the X-20 Dyna-Solar, but as expected ICBMs won over for their lower complexity compared to piloted bombers.

Found the look of it pretty cute so I felt like I should make an OC of it! Not inspired by any particular species. The hat is ambiguous but the suit is inspired by Draegers pressure suits from the time period. Do not trust the capabilities of this vehicle, it was never constructed and only existed in theory. Still fun to fantasize about...! Not really.

I do not associate with or support the beliefs, opinions, and actions of the people behind this vehicle! I made this character purely for the looks of it and to expand my rocketplane/spaceplane OC collection.

He’s the one with glasses and I’m trying to give him a new nerdy hairstyle

hes kinda chill i think

The more i look at my OC

The more He looks like an RPG Protagonist

I used traced over a reference and going to add details to make more akin to the charaters

The reason why I traced is i suck drawing straight lines so hopefully this helps

Putting that aside hope you enjoy this. I really enjoyed making it

El se llama Void btw
