BLOHM AND VOSS P.204

Blohm und Voss P.204 was a project of a German WWII dive bomber. The drive was supposed to be provided by two engines: one BMW 003A turbojet and one BMW 801D radial engine. The deck armament was probably to consist of four 20 mm or 30 mm cannons. The machine has never been tested, much less entered mass production. The Blohm und Voss P.204 was designed as the successor to the Ju-87 Stukas bomber by a team of engineers led by Richard Vogt. The design featured an asymmetric fuselage and wing layout, as well as the use of two different power units: a turbojet engine and a piston engine. It should be added that the jet engine was in the nacelle under the left wing. The machine was also to be adapted to use the BV 246 Hagelkorn gliding bomb. Blohm und Voss P.204 was never realized and it did not go beyond the design stage.
