I have seen a number of references to an engine referred to as the Sla 16 that was a product of Simmering- Graz-Pauker (Vienna), possibly with Porsche involvement (designation Type 212). Apparently it had a power output of 730-750 hp and was configured as an 37 litre, air cooled, supercharged...
This is really just a quick muse and I am curious about other peoples opinions. In a moment of mind wander I considered that perhaps Germany could have increased the utility of the V1/V2 force by targeting the weapons against British south coast ports and later the Normandy peninsular following...

Hi,
after finally crossing my sources I present you guys a Heinkel project to embark in the "Graf Zeppelin" aircraft carrier. The well-known sesquiplane He114 was subject to an advanced design featuring retractable wheels (I don`t know about the tail one) and a bigger (full span?) lower wing...
In 1945 Heinkel began development of a bomber which was propelled by four jet engines.
This bomber has the layout of the later Victor bomber used by the RAF, a delta wing with a T shaped tail.
This bomber was capable to reach long distance targets I believe even targets into the US.

I have this poor scan of the Blohm und Voss P.200 Transocean seaplane. Does anyone know if a cleaner version of this cutway exists in any published books or articles? I'd like to find a cleaner version.
Thanx in advance,

Dear forum members,

I have a very poor microfilm blueprint scan of the Blohm und Voss P.173.02 long range bomber.
From what I can make out it is a six engined bomber that shares the wings and tail of the BV 238 seaplane.
Does anyone have any good drawings or information on this project?
I'll try to make as clean...
