This sketch is dated March 3, 1945 and was arranged by Hans Hornung. Note the resemblance to the Me P.1111 wing and air intakes in the leading edge wing roots. |
This is a later updated sketch. Note the wing is still swept back at 45 degrees, but has a narrower chord, and the air intakes have been moved to the fuselage sides. |
In this sketch, the wings have changed again, and are only swept back at 40 degrees. The air intake shapes have also been slightly altered. |
Although this final sketch is not fully finished, the final shape
of the P.1112 has taken shape, and the V-tail has been added. March 30, 1945 |
