FWM 199 A-5

A Focke Wulf / Messerschmitt joint venture aircraft production development during later months of 1944
Designed as a high altitude single seat fighter/ bomber interceptor for the Luftwaffe, driven by a powerful supercharged Daimiler-benz V-12 liquid cooled engine with contra-rotating propellers to reduce torque and improve efficiency of the monster engine.
Only a handful of the FWM 199 were produced before a disagreement between Focke Wulf and Messerschmitt caused the project to be abandoned.
The FWM 199 proved to be a very effective high altitude fighter flying higher and faster than allied fighters in the same class, although being superior in many ways it did have it’s flaws, the insane full consumption of the Daimler Benz supercharged V-12 engine made the effective range very limited without external fuel tanks, also if the aircraft wasn’t properly weight and balanced before flight it could enter an uncontrollable flat spin at speeds nearing a stall forcing the pilot to abandon the aircraft, pilots also complained about the poor ground handling capabilities

I designed the FWM 199 to be realistic-ish with a fictional twist, hope you enjoy…. Cheers!!
