The Henschel Hs 294 was a guided air-to-sea missile developed by Henschel Flugzeug-Werke in Germany during World War II.
Design
The Hs 294 was a further development of the Henschel Hs 293 rocket powered glide bomb, but was of an elongated, more streamlined shape.[1] When launched from an aircraft, it was guided to its target with the same Kehl-Straßburg remote control system used for both the Hs 293 and unpowered Fritz X glide bombs. 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 so it would explode below the waterline of the vessel. The proximity fuze was that of a regular German torpedo.[2][3]
