FS2002/FS2004 Blohm & Voss BV P.194_01.
Luft'46 Art Aircraft Series No.4.
In March 1944, Blohm & Voss put forward a proposal to the RLM for a new asymmetrical aircraft, which could be used in a number of roles:
fighter, destroyer, dive bomber and reconnaissance.
This project was different because it featured a mixed propulsion scheme, that is, both propeller and jet driven, plus an internal bomb stowage in the main fuselage.
A single BMW 801 D radial engine of 1700 horsepower was mounted in the front of the main fuselage and drove a three bladed 3.5 meter (11' 6") propeller.
The cockpit is situated in a gondola located on the starboard wing, and is constructed of armored steel in the front and Dural in the rear.
A single jet engine, either a BMW 003 or Jumo 004, is mounted below the cockpit and is angled slightly upwards.
Due to the late date this project was proposed, and the worsening war situation for Germany, the P.194 development was not pursued.
