Focke-Wulf Project I

Military Aircraft

The Focke-Wulf Project I was a design study for a jet fighter, to be built in Germany during World War II. In 1942 the Reichsluftministerium asked Professor Kurt Tank of the Focke-Wulf factory to investigate a single-engine jet fighter, and gave him the development plans of the BMW 003, Jumo 004 and Heinkel HeS 011 engines. Late that year the Focke-Wulf Project Office, led by Ludwig Mittelhuber, began work on a series of jet fighter projects. The first proposed design carried a BMW P.330 2 or Jumo 004 engine on the back of the fuselage, with the pilot in the nose, four armament units underneath, a forward-swept mid-wing and a V-tail swept back.
