This design for a ground-attack aircraft was submitted
to the RLM by Junkers in December 1942. The wings had a straight leading
edge and the short fuselage was mounted high on top of the wing. Power was
supplied by two Daimler Benz DB 603G piston engines (each developing 1460
horsepower). One engine was mounted in the nose pulling and one was mounted
in the fuselage tail pushing, this had the advantage of providing the power
of two engines but lowering drag by putting the engines in-line. An internal
bomb bay beneath the cockpit could hold a single 500 kg (1102 lbs) bomb
There were two booms which attached to the bottom
of the wing surfaces, they extended to the rear and contained the vertical
tail assembly. A horizontal tail connected the booms at the rear. The main
landing gear were located in the booms and retracted to the rear. The pilot
sat in a cockpit located above the wing leading edge under a cnopy that would
have provided good vision all around. Armament consisted of two MK 103 30
mm cannon with an option to carry four R 100
Bordraketen air-to-air
rockets.
The RLM showed no interest in the Junkers Ju EF112
and rejected the project.
