Weserflug WP 1003 The Weserflug WP 1003 , was a two - man German aircraft designed in 1938 by Weserflug . The aim of the project was to construct a military tilt rotor aircraft with VTOL characteristics for use in World War II . At the beginning of 1938 plans for a tilt rotor rotor aircraft were drawn up , and the project , named P 1003 , was supported by the Air Ministry . The aircraft was a monoplane featuring a fairly conventional fuselage . The aircraft was built with high mounted wings that could be hinged halfway along , and with a propeller at each wing tip . A single Daimler - Benz DB 600 engine was mounted in the middle of the fuselage , and drive shafts connected the engine to the propellers , which were abnormally large with a diameter of 4 metres , when for a similar aircraft the propellers would have had a diameter of 2 metres . The initial plans included the aircraft being fitted with retractable landing gear wheels . For takeoff , the entire outer part of the wing could be rotated 90 degrees so that the propellers is directed straight up so that they would create a lifting force that would left the aircraft off the ground in a manner similar to that of a helicopter . Once in the air propeller would be rotated to a horizontal position and propel the aircraft forward . However , the aircraft was never constructed due the complexity of the VTOL system , although a very similar design was later built by the United States named the Bell - Boeing V - 22 Osprey , which began testing in 1989 .

LK II The Leichter Kampfwagen II ( ) or " LK II " was a development of the LK I with the same layout , but incorporating a rotating turret on the rear superstructure armed with a 37mm Krupp or Russian 57mm Sokol gun . Its armor was 8 to 14mm thick , which increased its total weight to 8 . 75 tons . Power was provided by a Daimler - Benz Model 1910 4 - cylinder 55 - 60 hp gasoline engine , giving a maximum speed of 14 to 18 km / h with range of 65 – 70 km . A version armed with one or two 7 . 92mm Maxim 08 / 15 machine guns was also planned but progressed no farther than a project . Only two prototypes were produced by June 1918 , and were followed by orders for 580 tanks , which were never completed . Post - war Swedish service . Following the war , the Swedish government purchased parts for 10 examples in secrecy for the sum of 200 , 000 Swedish Krona . The parts were shipped as boiler plates and agricultural equipment and then assembled in Sweden as the " Stridsvagn m / 21 " ( Strv m / 21 for short ) , which was essentially an improved version of the LK II prototype . The Strv m / 21 was armed with a single 6 . 5mm machine gun . In 1929 , five were rebuilt to create the Strv m / 21 - 29 variant which was armed with a 37mm gun or two machine guns and was powered by a Scania - Vabis engine . One of these improved vehicles was driven by Heinz Guderian during a visit to Sweden in 1929 . The Germans later bought a main share of the Landsverk Company and made Otto Merker the main designer and in 1931 , it produced the " Strv m / 31 " ( L - 10 ) , which was the first tank produced in Sweden . The Strv m / 21 - 29 remained in service until 1938 . A surviving example can be seen at the Deutsches Panzermuseum at Munster , Germany , and both strv m / 21 and strv m / 21 - 29 was displayed at the Axvall Tank Museum in Sweden . See also .

Atago - class destroyer The is an improved version of the Japan Maritime Self - Defense Force ( JMSDF ) ' s " Kongō " class destroyers . It is a Japanese variant of the United States Navy " Arleigh Burke " - class destroyer ( Flight IIA ) . Both ships of the class share a same name with Japanese World War II cruisers . On occasion , Atago class destroyers have been incorrectly referred to as cruisers by the Japanese media . Design . In 2000 , the Japan Defense Agency Maritime Staff Office included another two Aegis ships in its five - year budget on top of the four " Kongo " class destroyers originally ordered . The " Atago " class is fundamentally an improved and scaled up version of " Kongō " class destroyers . It features large accommodation and capable of flexible operation . One of the most obvious changes is an additional hangar to carry one SH - 60K helicopter . In comparison to the " Kongō " - class / " Arleigh Burke " - class ( Flight I ) which only had helicopter platforms ( but no support equipment ) , these ships have better helicopter handling facilities . To enhance " Atago " class ' function as command centers , the bridge is two floors higher than " Arleigh Burke " - class Flight IIA , making her full load displacement over 10 , 000 tons — the first time for a JMSDF surface combat vessel . The gun caliber has extended from the 54 caliber of the " Kongō " class to the 62 caliber with strengthened powder charge capable 38 km firing range . As with other Japanese ships being refit , the American - made Harpoon missile s ( such as in the initial configuration of the " Kongō " class ) have been replaced with the Japanese - made Type 90 ( SSM - 1B ) surface - to - surface guided missiles . Japan has also purchased a manufacturing license for these weapons for use on their Kongo class Aegis destroyers . Japan Steel Works will manufacture , assemble and test the weapons . The fire - control system for the " Atago " is Aegis Weapon System Baseline 7 phase 1 , which will combine American - and Japanese - manufactured systems to make up the complete Aegis system . The Aegis Weapon System baseline 7 has improved tracking accuracy for vertical targets , and an acquisition capability for small low - altitude targets compared with the Aegis Weapon System baseline 4 and 5 , used in " Kongō " class . The " Atago " also use a new stealthier plain - structure mast , which was originally designed in Japan , rather than familiar lattice type mast . New modified smokestack and other improvements are also introduced to make " Atago " stealthier . Like the " Kongō " class , the " Atago " destroyers are equipped with a comprehensive suite of weapon systems including : In keeping with Japan ' s post - war pacifist constitution , the " Atago " class does not currently carry the Tomahawk missile ( although , in theory at least , use of an anti - ship version is permissible ) . While the two ships of " Atago " class are entering service , the Tachikaze class destroyer s , " Tachikaze " and " Asakaze " are to be decommissioned .
