BLOHM AND VOSS BV 192.01

Blohm und Voss P.192 was a project of a German dive bomber and attack aircraft from the Second World War. The drive was to be provided by a single Daimler Benz DB603 or Junkers Jumo213A engine. The deck armament was to consist of four cannons: two 20mm MG151 and two 30mm Mk.108. The machine was supposed to be able to take a 500 kg bomb on board. The Blohm und Voss P.192 project was created to replace the distinguished Ju-87 Stukas dive bomber. Richard Vogt led the development of the new plane. According to the plans, the Blohm und Voss P.192 was to be a highly avant-garde machine with a propeller placed in the fuselage structure and an airfoil in the front and in the center of the fuselage! Initially, it was planned to create two versions: the first one (designation: P.192.01) was to have a 13-meter wingspan and a fuselage almost 12 meters long. The second version (P.192.02) was slightly smaller. None of the versions of the Blohm und Voss P.192 were flown, and even less entered into mass production.
