thanks for that information, newsdeskdan

Blohm was really unhappy with the 1091 they were given. A key issue they identified was the spar location, which made the wing torsionally weak. Improving that was precluded as the landing gear meant a torsion box could not be built ahead of the spar, and the radiators in the trailing edge meant that the same could not be done aft of the spar either. They also identified problems with the fuselage and turbo installation, choosing to go for a tubular fuselage structure as this was much easier to design and rework when changes to the turbo occurred.
