The Cottbus hangar at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach is full of German-designed aircraft and projects. The hangar itself was dismantled in Cottbus, Germany and brought to Virginia Beach. The Fliegende Panzerfaust was a project for a German very-short-range interceptor designed by Zeppelin by the end of WW II. One of the so-called Wunderwaffen (miracle weapons) it did not evolve past the concept stage, and only one mock-up was ever built. This full-size replica can be found with this museum.
