This project was Henschel's design for a fast bomber to be powered by a
single 2200 horsepower Daimler Benz DB 610 engine. A "Entenbauform" (built
like a duck) design was used, with the tail in front and the wing to the
rear. Vertical fins were located at the wingtips. The cockpit was in the
forward fuselage with accomodations for a crew of three or four. The prototype
construction was not begun, and the further development of tail-first aircraft
was not pursued due to lengthy development time and design cost.
