Focke-Wulf Project VIII

Project VIII
Role Fighter
Manufacturer Focke-Wulf
Status Abandoned design study



Focke-Wulf Project VIII was a design study for a turboprop-powered fighter-bomber undertaken in Germany during World War II. It was based on the work previously done on Project VII, nicknamed the Flitzer. Project VIII was for an aircraft very similar in shape. The performance was calculated to be much better, but the non sweepback of the tail surfaces was predicted to cause problems at high speed, and the project was abandoned.
