The Junkers Ju 288, originally known within the Junkers firm as the EF 074, was a German bomber project designed during World War II, which only ever flew in prototype form. The first aircraft flew on 29 November 1940; 22 development aircraft were eventually produced.

Jun 23, 2006 · The Junkers Ju 288 was one entry in the "Bomber B" competition of 1939, designed to provide the Luftwaffe with a long range high performance medium bomber.

Jul 30, 2012 · The 6 Ju 288 prototypes that flew all had mock-ups of the remote power turrets, and that was through most of 1942. Not even experimental or prototype guns mounts, just mock ups. The JU 288 was about the size and weight of Martin B-26 or North American B-28.

The Ju.288-V1 was equipped with two VMW-801MAs with a takeoff power of 1600hp and 1380hp at an altitude of 4600m. The defensive armament was modeled after the first EF-73 project. On it were models of towers on the upper and lower surfaces of the fuselage.

Nov 22, 2020 · Two of the Ju88 prototypes (V2, V5) were equipped with this new forward section and became the initial test aircraft for the EF73, which was now designated Ju288. The first real Ju288 prototype should be ready in autumn 1940 and the serial production was planed for 1942.
