Concept Aircraft : Heinkel He-P.1078B (1944)

Heinkel He-P.1078B (1944)

One of many late-War "paper projects," Heinkel's He-P.1078B was a single-seat, tailless fighter with 40-degree swept-back wings and a single HeS 011 turbojet engine. The plane's most distinguishing feature was its duo-gondola design. The pilot sat in the port-side pod; in the other was a radar system and two MK 108 30mm cannon.

No P.1078B's were ever actually produced.
