In March 1943 Focke-Wulf in Bremen initiated a series of design studies for single-seat, jet powered fighters. |
 |
Entwurf 6, also known as Projekt VI, was approved for mock-up construction in Febuary 1944. |
 |
The designation was later changed to Projekt VII and was given the code name "Flitzer" (Madcap). |
 |
The mid-fuselage mounted wings had moderate sweepback (32 degrees), twin booms and a high mounted tailplane. |
 |
The single He S 011A tubojet was to be supplemented with a Walter HWK 509 A-2 bi-fuel rocket mounted below the jet, although this arrangement was later revised, eliminating the rocket engine. |
 |
Projected armament consisted of two MK 103 30mm cannon or two MK 108 30mm cannon in the lower nose and two MG 151/20 20mm cannon in the wings. |
 |
The "Flitzer" was well advanced in development, a full-size mock-up (photos below) and some prototype sub-assemblies being completed. |
 |
The project was eventually abandoned because, although using only a single turbojet, its performance was no better than the Me 262 which was entering service. |
