From, Secret Weapons of the Third Reich,
BMW designed this bomber as a flying wing. Two BMW 018 turbojets rated at 3450 kp
(7590 lbs/thrust) were to be mounted beside one another in the rear of the aircrft and
fad by an air intake duct running through the fuselage. The bombardier was to be prone
in a ventral armored compartment to provide optimal visibility during bombing runs.
Two machine cannon were planned for installation in a remote controlled rear turret,
to be operated from the navigator's position. The bomb load was 5000 kg (11000 lbs).
