Photobucket By the end of 1944, the OKL (High Command of the Luftwaffe) realized that a better high-altitude fighter was needed, and they wanted to take advantage of the new He S 011 jet engine which was being developed. Thus, the Emergency Fighter Competition came into being. By February 1945, three proposals had been received from Messerschmitt, two from Focke-Wulf and one each from Heinkel, Junkers and Blohm & Voss. The Blohm & Voss entry was the BV P.212.03. The first of the BV P.212 designs featured a short, squat fuselage, with a short air intake to the He S 011 jet engine in the fuselage rear. The wings were swept back at 45 degrees, and featured a small amount of dihedral. Two small vertical fins were located near the wingtips. The second of the BV P.212 designs was a refinement of the previous BV P.212.01. The fuselage was lengthened, and the wings now featured downturned wingtips in place of the wingtip fins of the BV P.212.01. - read more at http://www.luft46.com

No final de 1944, A alemanha Nazista precisava de um caça de alta altitude de melhor desempenho, para ser usado com o novo motor à jato He S 011, então o Alto Comando da Luftwaffe fez uma espécie de competição de emergência, onde seriam apresentados novos projetos de caças. Em fevereiro de 1945, cinco propostas foram apresentadas à Messerschmitt: duas da Focke-Wulf e uma de cada uma dessas empresas, Heinkel, Junkers and Blohm & Voss. A proposta da Blohm & Voss foi o modelo BV P.212.03. O primeiro da série BV P.212 apresentava uma fuselagem curta e chata com uma entrada de ar estreita para comportar o novo motor à jato He S 011. - leia mais (Inglês) em http://www.luft46.com
