V1 flying bomb this adaptation of the impulsive duct was designatted AS 014 in Germany, or FZG 76 in Great Britain (and in Germany too! AOB); German research work on impulsive ducts was confined to the following centres:-

Argus Aeroengines Berlin under Dr.-Ing. G. Diedrich ..

Munich - where the original inventor Ing. Paul Schmidt worked

Engine Research Institute, Technical University of Stuttgart, where research woirk on model impulsive ducts was carried out under Professor Kamm. The firm of Alfred Kärcher! (Winnenden, near Stuttgart) collaborated

Schmidding Werke, Schmiedeberg, near Riesenberg, Schlesien - investigations sponsored by Schmidding. The firm of Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz A.G. collaborated

Although by the end of the war the development of fundamental principles was well advanced (flying bomb engines were in production), it was considered that they were not completely understood. Up to that time calculations were largely empirical, and based on experimental data, so, in order to carry out more detailed investigation, a special committee of scientists was formed. The work of this committee is described in section VII
