The Focke-Wulf Project VIII, called the Peterle, was a design study for a turboprop-powered fighter-bomber, undertaken in Germany during World War II. It built on the earlier work on the Focke-Wulf Flitzer, and Focke-Wulf documents describe it as a single-engine fighter with a turboprop unit, an aircraft very similar in shape to the Flitzer. Its calculated performance was much better, but the unswept tail surfaces were predicted to cause problems at high speed, and the project was abandoned. Some sources call it the Fw 281, a designation that is fictitious and derived from the project label Baubeschreibung Nr. 281.
