Messerschmitt Me P.1106

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Me P.1106
Type Fighter
Manufacturer Messerschmitt
Developed from Me P.1101

The Messerschmitt Me P.1106 was an intended improvement to the Messerschmitt Me P.1101.

It went through several redesigns; the first version had a T-tail with cockpit faired into the vertical stabilizer, the later design having a V-tail with the cockpit moved slightly forward. In both cases the wings were swept back at 40 degrees.

The planned power plant was a He S 011 jet engine, and armament was to be two MK 108 30mm cannons.

The project was abandoned since the performance of the P.1101 had not been improved on, and the 1106 cockpit had poor visibility.
