Focke-Wulf Triebflügel

Wallpaper Description:

The Focke-Wulf Triebflügel , or Triebflügeljäger, literally meaning "thrust-wing fighter", was a German concept for an aircraft designed in 1944, during the final phase of World War II as a defence against the ever-increasing Allied bombing raids on central Germany.

It was a Vertical Take-Off and Landing tailsitter interceptor design for local defence of important factories or areas which had small or no airfields.

The Triebflügel had only reached wind-tunnel testing when the Allied forces reached the production facilities. No complete prototype was ever built.
