Messerschmitt P.1108

The Messerschmitt P.1108 Fernbomber was a jet bomber design developed by Messerschmitt for the Luftwaffe in the last years of Nazi Germany, and it was never completed. It was designed by Dr. Wurster to a concept by Dr. Alexander Lippisch, with four Heinkel HeS 011 jet engines placed in the wing near the trailing edge, intakes under the leading edge and ducting through it. Fully loaded weight was to be 30 tons, with a range of 7,000 km at 800 to 850 km/h at a height of 9,000 to 12,000 m. It was tailless apart from a stabilizing fin and rudder, though not a true flying wing. The Fedden Mission was told about the project, but none of the information from Messerschmitt's employees could be independently verified because the French had already removed all the data. No aircraft were completed.
