BLOHM AND VOSS BV P.193.01

Blohm und Voss P.193 was a project of a German WWII dive bomber. The drive was supposed to be provided by a single Junkers Jumo 213A engine with 1780 hp. The machine has never been tested, much less entered mass production. The Blohm und Voss P.193 was designed in mid-1944 as the successor to the Ju-87 Stukas bomber by a team of engineers led by Richard Vogt. The design was characterized by the use of a rare pusher propeller, a three-support main landing gear and an unusual vertical tail. However, it was planned that the machine would reach a high maximum speed (about 640 km / h) for this class of aircraft. Ultimately, however, the Blohm und Voss production office quickly abandoned the P.193 project - the machine never got past that stage.
