DISCONTINUED AZ-Model 7539 Messerschmitt Me 1106B-5 "Höhenjäger"

The Messerschmitt P.1106 (another designation: Me 1106) was a design for a German WWII jet fighter. Probably the drive was to be provided by a single Heinkel HeS 011A engine. The deck armament was to consist of two 30mm Mk.108 cannons. The machine has never been tested, much less entered mass production.

At the end of World War II, German aviation manufacturers, including the Messerschmitt plant, developed many jet and rocket fighter designs as part of the so-called Jägernotprogramm. This program was to lead to the design and start of mass production of completely new types of fighter planes. The aftermath of this program is just Messerschmitt P.1106, which in essence is an improved version of the design of another German fighter - P.1101. In the design of the P.1106, the aerodynamic set-up was changed frequently, especially in the horizontal tail. The machine was to be adapted primarily to combat Allied strategic bombers. Ultimately, however, neither the P.1101 nor its improved version, i.e. the P.1106, entered mass production.
