Messerschmitt had supplied jigs and tools, and a new factory had been built for production when the German decision to stop its own Me 210 program was made.
A very important innovation in the Me 210 design was the use of side rear firing 13 mm (0.51 in) MG 131 turret guns (barbettes) controlled by the rear crew member by the means of a Revi gun sight and a pistol grip with the firing trigger.

 Messerschmitt Me 309   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Messerschmitt Me 309 was proposed as an advanced replacement for the venerable Bf 109 fighter.
This was heightened by the trouble-plagued Me 309 prototypes, and also by the fact that the Me 309 was only marginally faster then the Bf 109G, and maneouverability and stability were actually poorer.
The Me 309 prototypes were then used as armament, ejection seat and pressurization testbeds for the Me 262 jet fighter program.

After the Me 163's designer, Alexander Lippisch left the project, Junkers was put in charge of finishing development of the Me 163D variant and was issued a new designation for the type.
The aircraft was an attempt to overcome the largest shortcomings of the Me 163, based on the results of tests with the Me 163D (a modified Me 163B, sometimes referred to as the Me 263 V1).
In concept and basic configuration, it was strongly reminiscent of the German Messerschmitt Me 263, and is generally regarded as a further development of that design.

Although Messerschmitt's single-engined Bf 109 has received most of the plaudits for achieving virtual air superiority over Europe in 1939-40, the exploits of the manufacturer's twin-engined Bf 110, the Ju 88 and the Me 410 Zerstörer in the first year of the war also make for very impressive reading.
Indeed, on the eve of World War 2 a posting to a Bf 110 unit was considered to be the best career move available in the Luftwaffe.

On landing, Bulman told Camm: "Another winner, I think!" The flight was about four months after the first flight of its future adversary, the Messerschmitt Bf-109, and about four months before the first flight of its "rival", the Supermarine Spitfire.
This gave an average speed of 658 KPH (409 MPH), and introduced the Hurricane to the British public with a splash of publicity.
Such a high speed was a good margin above the Hurricane's normal limits of performance, but there had been a strong tailwind, not mentioned in the newspaper articles.

A single prototype was built of a proposed high-altitude bomber under the designation He 111R, powered by two 1,810 hp (1350 kW) DB 603U engines, but no production aircraft resulted.
