Focke-Wulf Flitzer

The Focke -Wulf P.VII " streaker " was to design a fighter with hybrid drive, the Focke- Wulf Flugzeugbau AG. The name of the project is different in the literature, sometimes P.VI is used. Focke -Wulf himself described all the " Streaker " designs only as TL- hunters.

The project on the design P.IV (name classification by ) -based work on the P.VII were largely completed in March 1944 and led to the creation of a dummy made ​​of wood. In addition to the jet engine, the use of an additional rocket engine (Walter HWK 109-509 ) to start support was provided. The air intake of the main engine was changed from the P.IV and was transferred to both wing roots, the interpretation so strongly resembled that developed around the same time in England de Havilland DH100 Vampire.

The Air Ministry showed little interest in the draft. Therefore Focke -Wulf turned forcefully advanced the project Ta 183 " Huckebein " to that used to design P.VI ( name by ) as a basis.
