Focke-Wulf 1000x1000x1000

Focke-Wulf 1000x1000x1000, also known as Focke-Wulf Fw 239, was a twin-jet bomber project for the Luftwaffe designed by the Focke-Wulf aircraft manufacturing company during the last years of the Third Reich.

Their designation meant that these bombers would be able to carry a 1000 kg bomb load to a distance of 1000 km at a speed of 1000 km/h ( 2,200 lb for 620 miles at 620 mph).

History
Focke-Wulf produced three different designs of the project that would have been powered by two Heinkel HeS 011 turbojet engines. The innovative looking series of jet bombers was designed by H. von Halem and D. Küchemann. The project was cancelled owing to the surrender of Nazi Germany.

Variants
The Focke-Wulf 1000x1000x1000 project had three different variants. All of them were twin jet bombers that would be powered by two Heinkel-Hirth He S 011 turbojets.

Fw 1000x1000x1000 A
Jet-powered bomber project that looked quite conventional. It had thin wings swept back at 35 degrees.

Fw 1000x1000x1000 B
A flying wing design with a small fuselage containing the cockpit and the front undercarriage wheel.

Fw 1000x1000x1000 C
A twin jet bomber project with a crew of three quite similar to the Fw 1000x1000x1000 A with a wingspan of 12.65 m and a length of 14.2 m.
