LIPPISCH P.11

Lippisch P.11 was a project of a German bomber and a fighter-bomber from World War II. The propulsion was probably provided by two Junkers Jumo 004B jet engines. The on-board armament was to consist of two 30mm Mk.108 cannons or one 75mm BK 7.5 cannon. The machine has never been tested, much less entered mass production. The P.11 project was developed at the Lippisch factory, commissioned by the German Ministry of Aviation in 1943, which wanted to obtain a new bomber with the highest possible maximum speed - preferably around 1000 km / h. Aleksander Lippisch relied on his existing gliders and projects in the P.11 project, which resulted in the development of a de facto aircraft in an atypical flying wing configuration. By February 1944, a preliminary design was developed and the construction of a mock-up of the plane began. However, the low priority of the work, the lack of strategic raw materials and organizational problems with the supply chain - especially engines - meant that Lippisch P.11 never went beyond the design stage.
