Messerschmitt Me 329

Military Aircraft

The Messerschmitt Me 329 was a design project for a heavy fighter and ground-attack aircraft developed towards the end of the Second World War, a competitor and possible successor to the Me 410. Like the Me 265 it used an advanced tailless design, with the pilot and navigator side by side under a broad bubble canopy and a remote-controlled rear gun in the tail. Despite the futuristic design, the improvement in performance over the Me 410 was marginal, development received a low priority, and a full-scale glider tested at Rechlin in the winter of 1944 to 1945 was followed shortly by cancellation. The estimated data give two DB 603G engines, an empty mass of 6,950 kg and a speed of 685 km/h.
