List of German aircraft projects, 1939–1945

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 70.175.134.8 (talk) at 03:36, 30 January 2021 (→Messerschmitt). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The aircraft in this list include prototype versions of aircraft used by the German Luftwaffe during World War II and unfinished wartime experimental programmes. In the former, development can stretch back to the 1920s and in the latter the project must have started between 1939-1945.

Legitimacy of German projects

After the surrender of Nazi Germany several of the secret or unfinished projects of German military aircraft gained wide publicity. Also certain postwar planes such as the Bell X-5, F-86 Sabre or the MiG-15 were deemed to have been based on the pioneering work of World War II German aircraft designers.[1][2][3] German aircraft manufacturers such as Henschel in Kassel had their archives destroyed in the course of the Allied bombing of the Third Reich at the end of World War II.[4] Hence some of the late Henschel projects that were recreated later are based on documents found in other locations or on second-hand sources and not on the original Henschel technical drawings.
