BV P.188 Heavy Jet Bomber

The Blohm & Voss P.188 was an unbuilt German jet-bomber proposal from the later Second World War. Its unusual wing arrangements reflected attempts to address high-speed flight and the carriage of a useful bomb load within a rapidly developing jet-technology environment. The project did not become an operational aircraft. Reconstructions therefore represent a design study, and projected speed, range, and armament remain intended characteristics rather than a record of combat or squadron service.

Late-war jet-bomber studies explored unconventional layouts because engines and aerodynamic knowledge were developing quickly. The opportunity for new performance came with uncertainty about production, handling, range, and the availability of suitable power plants.
