Focke-Wulf Volksjäger

Military Aircraft

The Focke-Wulf Volksjäger, German for people's fighter, was an emergency fighter project for the Luftwaffe, designed by Focke-Wulf towards the end of World War II as part of the defence against Allied bombing raids. In mid 1944 the Ministry of Aviation launched a Volksjäger programme and Focke-Wulf presented two consecutive projects, a turbojet design and a rocket-powered design, and neither received an RLM aircraft designation. The first was to be powered by one BMW 003 A1 turbojet and competed with the Heinkel He 162A Spatz, which won. The second was a small rocket interceptor with a Walter HWK 109-509 A-2 engine, a wingspan of 4.8 metres and a length of 5.3 metres; three were under construction at the German surrender.
