Messerschmitt Me 609

Military Aircraft

The Messerschmitt Me 609, also called the Me 309 Zwilling, was a Second World War German project that joined two fuselages of the Me 309 fighter prototype together to form a heavy fighter. It answered a 1941 Reich Air Ministry requirement for a new Zerstörer to replace the Bf 110 in minimum time and with a minimum of new parts. The two Me 309 fuselages would have been joined by a new centre wing section. The specification gives two Daimler-Benz DB 603 engines, an empty mass of 5,247 kg and a maximum speed of 760 km/h.
