The Silbervogel was a planned space plane with the characteristics of a lifting body, invented by Germany during World War II in the American bomber project. This aircraft, also called an anti-land bomber because it could bomb even the other side of the Earth by ballistic flight, ended in the planning stage due to the lack of realistic assumptions such as structure and operation. However, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, which focused on the concept of a winged spacecraft that could move like an airplane at low altitude, brought back the technology created by this plan after World War II, and the extreme supersonic speed that is still being researched and developed; it was ultimately sublimated into a gliding missile.
