BV141

I’m looking for WW2’s Nazi bizzare warplanes, BV141. In my opinion, it was most operational deformed a/c ever flown.

My question is, did the Nazi plan to make close-support version of BV141??

Regards,

The Blohm und Voss Bv 141 was built for the RLM’s army co-operation aircraft requirement around which the Focke-Wulf Fw 189 was designed. However, the Fw 190 was chosen by the Luftwaffe for full series production, so only 25 pre-production and production Bv 141s were manufactured.

As a side note, one Bv 141 was used as a testbed for the left wingtip crewed gondola of the Blohm und Voss P.163 multirole combat aircraft project, which lost the Arbeitsflugzeug (workhorse airplane) competition to the Junkers Ju 188 derivative of the venerable Ju 88 fast tactical bomber.
