History
Conceived in July 1944, this single-seat propellor-driven fighter was Focke Wulf's proposal for a hight altitude combat aircraft that could operate in both good and bad weather.
The power plant was to be one Argus 413 liquid-cooled 24-cylinder H-engine that would produce take-off power of 2984 kw (4000 hp) using two 3.1m (10ft 2in) diameter counter-rotating propellers driven via an extension shaft. The plane was to have a fuel capacity of 600 liters, giving it an estimated flight duration of 2 hours at 10,000m (33,000 feet).
Armament was to consist of two MK 103 30mm cannons and two MG 213/30 30mm cannons.
