General

The rocket had the structural design of an airplane and was made of duralumin . It was propelled by a liquid rocket engine ORM-65 built in the stern by the designer WP Gluschko . The autonomous control system had a gyroscope and a barometer .

The rocket was launched from a powder-propelled catapult . The drop from the TB-3 bomber was also tested .

After continued explosions and failures of the pneumatic control system, the project was canceled in 1938.
