In 1945, the German Air Ministry requested new designs for a new generation of jet fighters such as the Horten Ho 229 and Focke Wulf Ta 183.

The initial design, known as the P.1079A, was a V-tail night fighter with wings that featured a 35 degree sweepback.

The second and third designs were flying wings with a single vertical fin which replaced the V-tail of the P.1079A.

None of the three designs were ever produced, with development work ceasing at the end of World War II.
