Ho-40 F-4 Falke (P.1043)

[Description]

The Hohen Flugzeugwerke Ho-40 (also known as P.1043) is a planned Trislandia Fighter-Interceptor, designed in 1940 following an order issued by the RLM for Project Träumerei, out of the three preliminary design, the P.1043-2 was chosen, a fairly conventional and conservative but unusual design for Trislandian aircraft, having a single integrated pod for water cooler plus oil cooler in an arrangement that exploit the so called "Meredith Effect", the aircraft were to be made as light as possible, to maximize performance out of the obsolescent RMW VS20-V12AU made way back in 1934, the same engine used on the P.1035 Enzian that becomes the golden standard of Trislandian aircraft design back then, however, because the order to Hohen was issued much later than their competitors (it is speculated that this can be an act of sabotage and trade monopoly), Riese and Elfenhaven, before Hohen could even made a wooden mockup, the first Riese RF-10 Taifun soared trough the sky, breaking every and all records of the time, with performance way ahead of its time than any aircraft in the world, the RLM is immediately and fully satisfied with the RF-10, merely glancing over other designs made by other companies by this point, Ernest Höhen is furious about the choice and attempted to sue Riese for foul play, however, RLM has fully set on the track, and ordered all other aircraft under the sqme project to be canceled, and the Ho-30 Falke has become Ernest Höhen Ultimate Fighter, that never was.
