Concept Aircraft : Blohm & Voss BPV.192.01 (1944)

Blohm & Voss BPV.192.01 (1944)

In the midst of WWII, the innovative engineers at Germany's Blohm & Voss company responded to Berlin's request for a single-engine ground-attack bomber with this bizarre mid-engine design. To improve visibility, the cockpit was situated in front of the propeller and held in place by two side-mounted canard-like supports. Armaments were to consist of four fixed-forward machine guns and a single 500-pound bomb. The design never made it past the design stage.
