The Junkers Ju 287 was a multi-engine tactical jet bomber built in Nazi Germany in 1944. It featured a novel forward-swept wing, and the first two prototypes (which were aerodynamic testbeds for the production Ju 287) were among the very few jet propelled aircraft ever built with fixed landing gear.

The final stage of Mistel development was of specialised purpose-built jet-powered bomber components, including ones developed from the Messerschmitt Me 262, the Junkers Ju 287 and the entirely new Arado Ar 234.

Mar 30, 2017 · The "Mistel 4" was to involve the jet-powered Messerschmitt Me 262 fighter over the Junkers Ju 287 forward-swept wing, jet-powered bomber. The "Mistel 5" incorporated the jet-powered Heinkel He 162 fighter over the Arado E.377A flying bomb.

Mistel (German for "mistletoe", a parasitic plant) was the larger, unmanned component of a composite aircraft configuration developed in Germany during the later stages of the Second World War.

Le Junkers Ju 287 est un prototype de Bombardier à réaction conçu pour la Luftwaffe pendant la seconde guerre mondiale. Cet appareil était un banc d'essai volant construit pour développer la technologie nécessaire à un bombardier multi-moteur à réaction.

Dec 11, 2010 · 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 andJunkers Ju 287 and the entirely new Arado Ar 234. None of these ambitious schemes left the drawing board before the end of the war.

Tests with Ju 88 fuselage sized hollow charge warheads against the French battleship Oran proved to be successful and an eventual thickness of 60 feet of reinforced concrete was breached in further tests. Over 250 Mistels of various combinations were built, but like all the Third Reichs super weapons, they proved too little too late.

The Junkers Ju 287 certainly proved to be the most unique of the post-war jet engine designs approved for the German state - now fighting the war on multiple fronts.

Aug 16, 2014 · A variant of the design was to be called the “Mistel,” which was to be an Me-262 jet fighter mounted on top of an unmanned Ju-287 filled with explosives. The Me-262 pilot was to fly the combined planes and then release the bomber as a giant drone-powered bomb.

Nov 13, 2016 · The final Ju 287 different design that was to be raised was a Mistel combination plane ground attack type. This comprised of an unmanned explosive-packed drone 287 and a manned Me 262 fighter being attached to the top of a bomber by a strut assembly.
