Get the picture now? The V-1 pulsejet wasn't running on its own on the
ramp.
I have lots more references should you require them.


Trouble is the video of the launch clearly shows it was

Trouble is (if YOU watched video 1 closely) the pulsejet is running
off the distributor unit which is barely seen off to the left of the
ramp and the spark plug flexible lead connection is spotted too.
Since it took at least 186 mph for the As 014 to run independently
there is NO WAY it is running on its own on the ramp. The distributor
unit is operating it by remote control forcing compressed air and 75
octane fuel into the stovepipe, Ignition is remote controlled too.
Time warming up on the ramp- 7 seconds.
