GM-1
GM-1 (Göring Mischung 1) was a system for injecting nitrous oxide into aircraft engines that was used by the Luftwaffe in World War II. This increased the amount of oxygen in the fuel mixture, and thereby improved high-altitude performance. GM-1 was used on several modifications of existing fighter designs to counter the increasing performance of Allied fighters at higher altitudes.
