Contents

It was meant to be replacement for the Messerschmitt Bf 110. It had an unusual canard configuration seen on other fighters like the XP-55 and the J7W1. [1]

Design and development

Work on the P.75 had begun in 1942 as a replacement for the Messerschmitt Bf 110. It had a canard configuration with a slightly swept wing and was to be powered by two side-by-side Daimler-Benz DB 605 engines driving contra-rotating propellers in a pusher configuration. [1] [2] Armament was to consist of four nose-30 mm (1.2 in) MK 108 cannons were mounted in the nose, and the single pilot would be seated ahead of the engines. [1]
