FW EINSITZER WITH BMW 802

The Focke Wulf Einsitzer is a project of a German WWII fighter plane. The machine has never gone beyond the design stage - thus it has never been flown. It was assumed that the Einsitzer WF will be approximately 11.3 meters long with a wingspan of approximately 12.5 meters. The maximum speed was to reach approx. 725 km / h. The drive was to be provided by a single, 18-cylinder BMW 802 engine with 2600 hp. The on-board armament would probably consist of a combination of machine guns and cannons. The Focke Wulf Einsitzer project was created in the second half of 1941 and was very clearly based on the Fw-190 aircraft. Compared to its predecessor, the new plane, however, had a significantly elongated fuselage, and was also to have a completely new power unit with definitely greater maximum power. It was assumed that it would be a BMW 802 engine, on which at that time (second half of 1941) was still being developed. The new fighter was also intended to be used as an interceptor, operating at high altitudes. The Focke Wulf Einsitzer, however, never entered series production, and the Focke-Wulf plant continued to develop the Ta 152 after it was abandoned.
