  Junkers Ju 287
The Ju 287 V1 used a fuselage from a He 177A bomber, a tail assembly from a Ju 388, and a massive fixed undercarriage consisting of Ju 352 mainwheels enclosed by large fairings and a pair of nosewheels scavenged from a B-24 Liberator.
Junkers Jumo 004B turbojets, two mounted on the sides of the forward fuselage and two slung under the rear edges of the wings.
The wing of the Ju 287 V2 was similar to that of the V1, but the fuselage was entirely different, being quite similar to that of the propeller-driven Ju 388.

By the time of the Battle of Britain, the venerable Junkers Ju 87 design was beginning to show some of its shortcomings.
The main landing gear was housed in a bulge at the junction of the wing where the angle of the wing changed, and retracted to the rear (also rotating 90 degrees to lay flat under the wings).
In October 1943, the project designation 287 was officially given to the forward-swept wing jet bomber project that Junkers was designing.

The Junkers Ju 290 was a long-range transport, maritime patrol aircraft and bomber used by the Luftwaffe late in World War II.
The Junkers 290 was a direct development of the Junkers Ju 90 airliner, versions of which had been evaluated for military purposes.
The "long legs" of the Ju 290 made it an excellent candidate for the Amerika Bomber project, and prototypes of an even longer-range version were ordered as the Junkers Ju 390.

 Junkers Ju-287 High-speed Heavy Bomber
The Ju 287V-1 experimental prototype was fitted with four Jumo 004B turbojet engines with 900 kg thrust each; two were placed on either side of the fuselage and two were on pylons under the wings.
Ju 287V-1 was damaged during a bombing raid on the Junkers plant and, by the end of the war, Junkers was working on the Ju 287V-2 variant with six turbojet engines, three under each wing.
Its task was to develop Ju 131 and 132 bombers, Ju 126 ground-attack aircraft (in documents they often were designated EF-131, EF-132, and EF-126, from Entwicklungs Flugzeug-"Experimental Aircraft"), Jumo 004 and Jumo 01 jet engines, and the Jumo 224 aircraft diesel engine.

 Mistel
The scheme originally involved packing a war-weary bomber airframe (a Junkers Ju 88 variant) with explosives and guiding it to its target by a fighter aircraft mounted above it on a set of struts.
Later, the technique became more refined, and the bomber component (which was often a new aircraft rather than surplus) was fitted with a specialised 1,800kg (3,960-lb) warhead.
The final stage of Mistel development was the development of specialised purpose-built jet-powered bomber components, including ones developed from the Messerschmitt Me 262 and Junkers Ju 287 and the entirely new Arado E.377.
