Lippisch P.20

Lippisch P.20

The Lippisch P.20 was a prototype World War II German fighter aircraft. The P.20 design of April 1943 was an attempt to further develop the rocket powered Me 163 interceptor into a feasible turbojet powered fighter. The aircraft was externally similar to the Me 163 upon which it was based, with a deepened fuselage accommodating a single Jumo 004 turbojet fed by a low mounted nose intake. The design was the final one by Alexander Lippisch whilst working for the Messerschmitt company. The aircraft never left the drawing board.
