The Focke-Wulf Ta 283 was an unbuilt German jet fighter designed during WWII. Power was to be provided by a Walter HWK rocket engine for take-off and two Pabst ramjets. The ramjets were located on the tips of the sharply swept tailplanes and would be used for cruising. The wings were swept at 45 degrees. Armament was to be two MK 108 30mm cannon.[1]
