This advanced design proposal was put forth in January 1944, and utilized
the wings and tail of the Me 262A-2a but had an entirely new and considerably
enlarged fuselage and undercarriage. The engines were to be two Jumo 004C
turbojets and the cockpit held a crew of two. A variety of more detailed
proposals were issued on March 22, 1944, and were mainly concerned with
various armaments for the Me P.1099A, which can be found in the table below:
Span: 12.58 m (41' 3.7")
Length: 12 m (39' 4.8")
Max. Speed: 825 km/h (512 mph)
