Lippisch Li P.11 (September 1942)
This project was designed by Hendrick on September 13, 1942. It was conceived
to be a fast attack bomber, and was powered by two Jumo 004 turbojets,
mounted in the wing roots. The wings were swept back at approximately 30
degrees. A tricycle landing gear arrangement was chosen, with the main
gear retracting outwards and the front gear retracting to the rear. Like
most of the other Lippisch designs, this was to be tailless aircraft, with
only a single fin and rudder present. The vertical tail extended below
the fuselage, and was strengthened, in order to act as a bumper for takeoffs
and landings. A two man crew sat in the cockpit, located beneath a bubble
canopy offering good visibility. An internal bomb bay could carry up to
1000 kg (2204 lbs). Armament consisted of two MG 151/20 20 mm cannon located
in the wing roots. This project did not progress past the initial design
stage.
