I suggested before,it was Focke Wulf P.197,which came after P.195 transport project,but I am not
sure.
 
Cheers for the links guys!

Hesham's link seems to indicate these are designs or ideas for a civilian version of the 'Fw 400', if I understand correctly.

I haven't heard of the 'Fw 400' before, but the Ta 400 design (a 6 engined anti shipping bomber, quite different to the designs above) did exist and even progressed to wind tunnel testing. It was abandoned in 1944 in favour of the emergency fighter project (according to 'Bombers of the Luftwaffe' by Joachim Dressel and Manfried Griehl)

Shame there are no pics in Tomo's link, though the 'Projekt B' mentioned possibly refers to the 'Fw 300' of Hesham's.

That's the way I understand it...

My German is very rusty, but this is a rough translation: (maybe someone else can confirm?)

'What if?

Imagine the Fw 400 project had been developed into a long-range aircraft design. One could easily have flown over Siberia to his allies in Tokyo.
In the Super Condor, Berlin - Tokyo with Lufthansa!'

That ta-400 picture is it just me or do the outermost engines on the wings seem smaller than the others?
 
Hi,

I ask my friend Richard about those aircraft,but he knows them only as a trans-ocean aircraft,with
no designation,we don't know their P series.
 
The engines are the same size, the nacelles behind them are not.

Just asking in case you know....I know they sometimes did different interesting things with landing gear (the He 177 for instance) is this for 2 sets of landing gear under each wing to spread the load?
