This was a revised design of the Daimler Benz Project "A" carrier aircraft and parasite jet bomber. The wing was straight with a taper on the outer wing leading edge, and featured pronounced anhedral on the inner wing sections and dihedral outboard of the landing gear. Six DB 603 piston engines provided the power, four pulling and two pushing. The high, fixed landing gear was located beneath the outboard engine nacelles, and had three wheels partially enclosed in the landing gear legs. The high, fixed landing gear and the anhedral gave the proper clearance to mount the parasite bomber beneath the carrier aircraft. The bomber featured sharply swept back wings and tailplanes, the latter also having pronounced dihedral and twin fins and rudders, much like the Henschel 132 (see three-view drawing below). Power was provided by a single, huge Daimler Benz DB S 06 jet engine (mounted on the top centerline of the fuselage), which was to supply 12930 kg (28446 lbs) of thrust. A crew of two sat in the pressurized cockpit that was located in the extreme nose of the bomber. 30000 kg (66000 lbs) of bombs was the projected bomb load.

Deployment instructions

1. Be at a considerable altitude(about a mile up)

2. Activate AG1 and allow plane to drop a decent distance away from carrier.

3 when near target, VTOL down to open bay doors.

Uses standard flight controls. Ideal pitch angle for climbing is +10°

    Well, yes, that's why it has landing gear. It's supposed to start off on the ground, then get to altitude.

    The tiny cockpit lmao
    Looks like a goomba from the Super Mario Bros. movie.
    Why not just take off from the ground?

    There’s lame trumpets or something playing at that.
    I mean, why not the jet bomber? Why does it need a carrier aircraft? Range? Efficiency?
