The Messerschmitt Me 509 was an all-metal fighter project in Germany during the Second World War, about which little information survives. It was based on the Me 309 but with the engine placed behind a pressurised cockpit, much as in the American Bell P-39 Airacobra. The engine was a Daimler-Benz DB 605B driving a three-blade propeller, the armament was to be two 13 mm MG 131 machine guns and two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon, and the tricycle landing gear of the Me 309 was retained. The specification gives a maximum speed of 760 km/h.
