Focke Wulf Projekt II

---

This was the second design from Kurt Tank of the Focke-Wulf company for a single-jet engine, single-seat fighter, submitted June 9, 1943. The wing was mounted mid-fuselage and had a slight sweep on the leading edge and straight trailing edges. A turbojet was slung beneath the fuselage because of fears of operational problems associated with mounting the jet engine on top of the fuselage. The main advantage was to facilitate maintenance, but there were several bigger disadvantages to this design, such as the nose wheel blocking the intake on takeoff and landing, foreign matter being sucked into the intake since it was so close to the ground and the destruction of the jet engine in case of a belly landing. I have created three skins for the aircraft - JGI, JGII and JG26.

 

Airplane Model by Timmy with generous help from Capun. FM horribly done by Timmy - based on Geo's He-162 with bits and pieces taken from Wolf257's FW-190. Thank you Gentlemen.
