Blohm and Voss BV. P196

6,142 Chingonito  4.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Chingonito's Junkers Ground Attack prototype

The Blohm & Voss P 196 was the last of Blohm & Voss's World war II design projects for a "stuka" dive bomber and close support aircraft to replace the ageing Junkers Ju 87. Twin BMW 003 engines were slung in pods under the fuselage centre section. To make room for the main undercarriage twin tail booms were attached to the straight, tapered wings, with the undercarriage retracting into the front of the booms. The tailplane was raised midway up the twin tail fins, in order to clear the jet exhaust, with twin tailwheels retracting beneath.
