BV P.193 Ground Attack Bomber

Blohm & Voss studied the P.193 during the Second World War as a possible replacement for the Junkers Ju 87 in dive-bombing and ground-attack work. Richard Vogt’s design team considered an unconventional pusher-propeller arrangement and a variable-incidence wing. The project belonged to Germany’s search for improved assault aircraft, but it remained a design study and never equipped an operational unit. The proposed arrangement attempted to improve pilot visibility and accommodate an effective attack installation without simply copying the Ju 87. It illustrates how unconventional layouts were considered alongside Germany’s better-known jet projects. The pusher layout aimed to improve the pilot’s forward field of view during an attack.
