The Messerschmitt P.1111 was a prototype jet fighter/interceptor designed by Messerschmitt for the Luftwaffe before the end of the Second World War.
History[]
The innovative design of the Me P.1111 was completed in January 1945 and was intended as an improvement to the Messerschmitt P.1110 Ente.[1] The Messerschmitt P.1111 was a 8.92 m long tailless airplane with nearly delta-shaped wings swept back at a 45 degree angle and a wingspan of 9.12 m.[2] It was equipped with a pressurized cockpit for a single pilot. The planned powerplant was a Heinkel HeS 011 turbojet engine, and armament was to be four 30 mm MK 108 cannons.[3] Only one wooden model was built. The project was later further developed into the Me P.1112.[4]
