Messerschmitt P.1106

The Messerschmitt P.1106 was a proposed German fighter aircraft project of the closing stage of the Second World War, intended as an improvement on the Messerschmitt P.1101. It went through several redesigns: the first version had a T-tail with the cockpit faired into the vertical stabilizer, and a later one had a V-tail with the cockpit moved slightly forward. The wings of each design were swept back at 40 degrees, the planned powerplant was a Heinkel HeS 011 turbojet engine, and the armament was to be two 30 mm MK 108 cannons. The project was abandoned because it did not improve on the performance of the P.1101 and the cockpit gave poor visibility.
