This was the second design of the B&V P.209, which featured a swept-forward
wing. This was an effort to alleviate compressibility problems of straight
wings at high speed, while helping to avoid the instability at low speeds
suffered by swept-back wings. The HeS 011 turbojet, which was fed by a
nose intake, powered this fighter. Three MK 108 30mm cannon were the projected
armament.
