Very little is known
about this project, which was designed around the same time as the
Focke-Wulf Fw Ta 283
. Designed by Dipl.-Ing. von Halen, the "Super Lorin" featured sharply swept
back wings which were mounted mid-fuselage. There were two ramjets mounted
at the tips of the swept back tailplanes, this was thought to minimize airflow
disturbance. Since ramjets do not begin to operate until a speed of approximately
240 km/h (149 mph) is reached, some method was needed to accelerate the aircraft
until the ramjets could begin operating. This was to be achieved by the use
of rocket engines, either solid or liquid fueled. The landing gear was to
be a tricycle arrangement, and armament would have been two MK 108 30mm cannon.
