The Henschel Hs 117 Schmetterling (German for Butterfly) was a radio-guided German surface-to-air missile project developed during World War II. There was also an air-to-air version, the Hs 117H.{{sfnp|Christopher|2013|page= 127 }}

The operators used a telescopic sight and a joystick to guide the missile by radio control, which was detonated by acoustic and photoelectric proximity fuses, at {{convert|10|-|20|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}.{{sfnp|Christopher|2013|pages= 126-127 }}

Development

In 1941, Professor Herbert A. Wagner (who was previously responsible for the Henschel Hs 293 anti-ship missile) invented the Schmetterling missile and submitted it to the Reich Air Ministry (RLM), who rejected the design because there was no need for more anti-aircraft weaponry.

However, by 1943 the large-scale bombing of Germany caused the RLM to change its mind, and Henschel was given a contract to develop and manufacture it. The team was led by Professor Wagner, and it produced a weapon somewhat resembling a bottlenose dolphin with swept wings and cruciform tail.{{sfnp|Christopher|2013|page= 126 }}

In May 1944, 59 Hs 117 missiles were tested, some from beneath a Heinkel He 111; over half the trials failed.{{sfnp|Christopher|2013|page= 127 }} Mass production was ordered in December 1944, with deployment to start in March 1945. Operational missiles were to be launched from a 37mm gun carriage.{{sfnp|Christopher|2013|page= 126 }}

In January 1945, a prototype for mass production was completed, and production of 3,000 missiles a month was anticipated,{{sfnp|Christopher|2013|page= 126 }} but on 6 February, SS-Obergruppenführer Hans Kammler cancelled the project.

Variants

The Hs 117H was an air-launched variant, designed to be launched from a Dornier Do 217, Junkers Ju 188, or Junkers Ju 388.{{sfnp|Christopher|2013|pages= 127–128 }} This version was designed to attack enemy aircraft up to {{convert|5|km|ft|abbr=on}} above the launching aircraft.{{sfnp|Ford|2013|page=224}}
