  Blohm + Voss BV 155 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blohm + Voss BV 155 was a high-altitude interceptor aircraft intended to be used by the Luftwaffe against raids by USAAF B-29's.
Messerschmitt was told to shelve the Me 155 project for the indefinite future.
BV 155 V-1 was found in a flyable state, and the British brought in a pilot to fly it to England for testing.

 Messerschmitt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From this point on Messerschmitt became a favourite of the Nazi party, as much for his designs as his political abilities and the factory location in southern Germany away from the "clumping" of aviation firms on the northern coast.
Messerschmitt AG was incorporated as a separate company on July 11, 1938, with Willy Messerschmitt as chairman and managing director.
Messerschmitt had its share of poor designs as well; the Me 210, designed as a follow-on to the 110, was a disaster that almost led to the forced dissolution of the company.

 Me-155   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The designation 155 was used for a number of very different designs intended for a number for very different purposes.
In December 1942 Messerschmitt was requested by the RLM to submit a design for a high altitude interceptor.
In 1943 the RLM concluded that Messerschmitt had to many projects on his hands and decided that the further design and development of the Me-155 should be handed over to Blohm and Voss.

 MESSERSCHMITT Bf109
Messerschmitt had done a fantastic job with the 109 design and it is churlish to try and criticise his masterpiece, however, with hindsight it is possible to see that a few elements of the 109 design made for problems later in its service life.
The Messerschmitt was in the middle of its development life, its aerodynamic form already disfigured by bulges for ammunition drums, and with a wing loading greater than what it was designed for.
Messerschmitt had cleaned up the airframe and got rid of the anachronistic bracing for the tailplane, although there were some losses due to structural failure of the tail following the Fs introduction.

 Bf 109 Marks ans associated projects
Me 155 A Messerschmitt design for a completely new aircraft carrier fighter, the original Me 155 design had the nose contours and cockpit lines of the Bf109 with wings, tail and fuselage radiator that that looked similar to the American Mustang fighter.
The Me 155 design was also involved in the planning of the Bf109TL project; it was hoped to use parts of the Me 155 in the TL to speed up production.
Me 262 Messerschmitt's twin jet engined fighter was years ahead of its time and was superior to any allied fighter.

 Messerschmitt Me P.1092/2 Luft '46 entry
The first design, the Me P.1092/1, was very similar to the Messerschmitt Me P.1092A, except a normal fin/rudder and horizontal tail planes were fitted to the rear, a variable sweep wing was added and the nosewheel was located aft of the air intake.
The Me P.1092/2 was used in a performance comparison with the Lippisch Me P.20.
Although the Me P.1092/2 was not constructed, it was used to gain experience and design knowledge, especially with the later Me P.1106 and Me P.1101 designs.

 Blohm & Voss
French progress to develop the Me 155B was so slight that Messerschmitt stopped the work and refocused its own design staff on developing the Me 209 (a pre-war design that set a world speed record in 1939) to meet the Extremer Höhenjäger requirement.
Late in January 1944, the RLM directed Messerschmitt to transfer the whole project to Blohm & Voss and the BV 155 was born.
The BV 155 featured an armored, pressurized cabin with an ejection seat, high aspect ratio laminar-flow wings, wide-track landing gear, and a very advanced, though troublesome and complex, propulsion system.

 Blohm & Voss Bv 155B
Messerschmitt's preliminary study, known as the Bf 109 ST, which had been allocated the official RLM 8-series aircraft designation Me 155.
The original Me 109 ST was advanced in three variants; A, B and C (version A) called for a carrier/aircraft fitted with the DB 605, while (version B) called for a similar fighter powered by the high altitude DB 628.
With the official transfer of the Me 155B to the Blohm and Voss firm, the designation of the aircraft was changed to the BV 155A.

 Me-163 Komet
By 22nd October, 1941, Messerschmitt A.G. gave Udet a detailed plan for the construction of 70 Me-163B interceptors that could lead to an operational fighter group by the spring of 1943.
Rudy Opitz and his peers in both the Komet and Me 262 programmes were the very first of a new breed of warrior.
Without the technological breakthroughs that were central to the success of the Messerschmitt 163 Komet programme, the modern jet age would have advanced far more slowly.

 Unreal Aircraft - Hybrid Aircraft - Messerschmitt Bf.109 mutations
Germany's legendary Messerschmitt Bf.109 fighter underwent numerous modifications in the course of its service, from the slightly angular early models which saw action in the Spanish Civil War, to the sleek late series, exemplified by the 109G.
The Spanish Ministerio del Aire selected the Messerschmitt Bf.109G-2 for licence production in Spain in 1942, with Germany providing 25 airframes for assembly, with pattern drawings, jigs and tools, in 1943, to be followed by power plants, airscrews and cannon armament for a further 200 aircraft.
When Professor Willy Messerschmitt and a number of German technicians arrived in Spain, further developments of the HA-1109-K followed.

 Blohm und VossBv 155 by Bryan "Tuck" Tucker (Arba 1/48)
The Blohm und Voss BV 155 was designed to combat the arrival of Allied high altitude bombers over the continent.
Initially designed by Messerschmitt, the project was taken over by Blohm und Voss when it became apparent Messerschmitt did not have the resources to complete the design.
I took my Bv 155 to the 2002 IPMS Nationals in Virginia Beach, not with the intention of taking home a trophy, but to let people see something different than a bunch of P-51s and Me 109s (apologies to P-51 and Me 109 lovers everywhere).

The Bv 155 was a high-altitude fighter designed with a ceiling of 16 km in order to intercept high flying bombers, also having a secondary reconnaissance capability.
Based on the Messerschmitt project Me P 1091, Blohm und Voss continued development of this aircraft in 1943 due to the overcommittment of the Messerschmitt design bureau.

The Messerschmitt concern fell on hard times in 1931, and so Tank left to join the Focke-Wulf company in Bremen, where he became technical director.
Although the Kondor would be a terrible nuisance to the Allies in the conflict, they would be even more threatened by one of his later innovations, the radial-engine fighter known as the "FW-190".
In the spring of 1938, the Messerschmitt Bf-109 was filling up the ranks of the Luftwaffe as the service's first-line fighter.

Later, the RLM identified an offshoot concept known as the Extremer Höhenjäger, or extreme high-altitude fighter.
To meet this need, the Messerschmitt designed the Me 155B and after a clumsy, protracted development period, this project evolved into the Blohm & Voss BV 155 (also in the NASM collection).
Unlike the BV 155, a highly experimental, flying test-bed, Tank's design simply joined a powerful engine, already proven in the Fw 190D, to an existing airframe tweaked to perform at higher altitudes.

When it achieved the absolute world air-speed record in 1939, the Me 209V1 was designated as Me 109R for propaganda purposes (to make it appear as if the record had been flown by a derivative of the the German standard fighter Bf 109).

This flying monstrosity was developed from the Me 321 assault glider of 1941.
When it became pretty obvious that no invasion of Britain was to take place, captured French Gnome-Rhone engines were added to make the glider into a transport.
With a cruising speed of 155 mph, the transports were horribly vulnerable to fighter attack and this was diven home on a ghastly day in 1943 when sixteen 323's of number five transport group flew south across the Mediterranean bound for Tunis.
