Daimler Benz Project E

Daimler-Benz Project E belonged to a late-war German family of proposed giant carrier aircraft and subsidiary attacking vehicles. The scheme envisioned a large aircraft transporting smaller weapons or piloted attack craft closer to their objective before release. It remained an unbuilt design study rather than an operational system. Surviving descriptions and later model interpretations differ, making it important to distinguish the Project E carrier concept from the associated Project F vehicle. Composite-aircraft proposals attempted to avoid giving every attacking component the range and fuel capacity required for the entire mission. The parent aircraft would supply most of the transport effort. In practice, separation, control, survivability, and recovery created formidable problems that remained unresolved in an untested paper project.
