Design
Scheme of the Hs 294

The Hs 294 was a further development of the Henschel Hs 293, but was of an elongated, more streamlined shape. When launched from an aircraft, it was guided to its target with the same Kehl-Straßburg remote control system as both the Hs 293 and unpowered Fritz X armored precision-guided munition systems used for their MCLOS guidance needs. Just before it reached its target, it was guided into the water whereupon its wings would break off and then it then would run like a torpedo, propelled by its remaining kinetic energy; it would explode below the waterline of the vessel. The proximity fuze was that of a regular German torpedo.[1][2]

gollark: There actually *is* an alternative compiler, as far as I know, but it doesn't do borrow checking, so it isn't much use for real stuff.
gollark: Yes. Concurrency lets you get higher performance, generally.
