Föhn
This German multiple antiaircraft rocket launcher fired a 73 mm high explosive
rocket.
The launcher was a simple framework of racks which held 35 rockets; it was
transported on a trailer and in an emergency could be fired from it. The rocket
was spin-stabilized and carried a warhead of 280g of high explosive with an
impact fuze in the nose and a self-destruction device in the base which ensured
that the rocket would explode in the air and not fall back to the ground
unexploded.
Very little information on range or effect has ever been found and it seems that
relatively few were ever deployed. At the closing stage of the war it was
proposed to use the Föhn rockets in the air-to-air role in the 'Natter'
interceptor.
