It's an American design from 1950, backdated to become a Nazi secret weapon.
That's one of the few things I found before the Google virus thing set in.
It was in the May 1950 Popular Science, that had this article about
Destination Moon in it:http://books.google.com/books?id=gtk...ource=gbs_toc_...

The acid test is CFD. If a flying saucer has good CFD it should be
built. If not ...... I think the main point is this. There will always
be conspiracy and counter conspiracy claims but the acid test is CFD.

My references tell you that supercomputer CFD facilities are available
at modest cost. A modest cost coupled with a little ingenuity could
put the matter to rest one way or the other.

1) In academic terms disproof is valid and publishable.

2) You will have shown an understanding of CFD. This is perhaps the
