Messerschmitt Me 265

Military Aircraft

The Messerschmitt Me 265 was a design project for a heavy fighter, or Zerstörer, produced by Messerschmitt in the Second World War. It was designed in 1942 to replace the failing Me 210 and was also known as the Lippisch Li P 10. It was an aerodynamically advanced tailless delta-shaped flying wing with two pusher propellers built into the wing and a two-man crew sitting back to back in the cockpit, powered by two Daimler-Benz DB 603 twelve-cylinder liquid-cooled piston engines of 1,750 hp each. It remained a design project and no aircraft was built.
