Focke-Wulf Project I
The Focke-Wulf Project I was a design study for a jet fighter, to be built in Germany during World War II.In 1942, the Reichsluftministerium (RLM) asked Professor Kurt Tank of the Focke-Wulf factory to investigate the possibility of a single-engine jet fighter.He was given the development plans of the BMW 003, Jumo 004 and Heinkel HeS 011 engines.The first proposed design featured a BMW P.330 2 or Jumo 004 engine, positioned on the fuselage back.The mainwheels of the tricycle undercarriage were so positioned under the fuselage that they could lie between themselves, when retracted.
