Entwicklungsring Süd

Entwicklungsring Süd (EWR) was a German consortium formed in 1959 to build a Mach 2 Vertical Take-Off Interceptor for the Luftwaffe.

History
The consortium was formed in 1959 by the German aircraft companies Bölkow, Heinkel and Messerschmitt to develop a Mach 2 VTOL interceptor for the German Air Force. In 1964 Heinkel left the consortium and the following year it was formed as a company Entwicklungsring Süd GmbH. A VJ 101C prototype aircraft were built and flown in 1963 although it crashed in 1964 during a vertical take-off. A modified second prototype flew in 1965 and it was planned to put an improved variant VJ 101D into production but the development was stopped.
