The Junkers EF 126 was an experimental fighter proposed by the German Miniaturjägerprogramm of 1944-1945, for a cheap and simple fighter powered by a pulse jet engine. No examples were built during the war, but the Soviet Union completed a single unpowered prototype, which crashed during testing.

The design of the Ju EF 126 was developed into the Junkers EF 127, a rocket-powered version.

First prototype, towed into the air by a captured Junkers Ju 88G-6 in the post war period. Later, it crashed.

Second prototype, also constructed but never completed.

Complete prototype with Argus pulse jet.

Completed and tested in 1947, with a running engine.
