Messerschmitt P.1079

[1] The P.1079 aircraft designs were to be powered by pulse jets, the same engines used in the V-1 flying bomb.

In May 1941, Messerschmitt began work on a series of pulsejet-powered fighter designs under the designation P.1079 after it was obvious that the BMW turbojets planned for the Me 262 were not yet available and pulsejets were simpler and cheaper to build[2] The Argus pulsejets proved themselves unsuitable for crewed aircraft that would have to take off unassisted, for they did not produce enough power at low speeds for takeoff.

[3] But this "experimental aircraft" is a widely publicized hoax, not a real Messerschmitt project.

Lepage[4]General characteristics Performance Armament Powered by two SR pulsejets placed on both sides of the fuselage.

Except for the twin vertical tailfins and the air intake design it was similar to the Me P.1079 15 with a broad flat body having the cockpit on the right and the pulsejet on the left.
