The Focke-Wulf Fw 191 was a prototype German bomber of the Second World War, the Focke-Wulf entry in the Bomber B competition for an advanced medium bomber. The July 1939 specification asked for 600 km/h, a 4,000 kg bomb load, a pressurised crew compartment, a stepless cockpit and remotely controlled armament. Two versions were planned, a twin-engine one using the Junkers Jumo 222 and a four-engine one using the smaller Daimler-Benz DB 605. The first prototype, V1, made its maiden flight early in 1942 with BMW 801A radials fitted because the Jumo 222 engines were not ready. Only three prototypes, V1, V2 and V6, were built, and the project was abandoned because of technical difficulties with the engines.
