List of Blohm & Voss aircraft

Last updated

The aircraft listed here were all designed by the aircraft manufacturing company associated with Blohm & Voss shipbuilders of Hamburg, Germany. The company changed its name several times, from Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH to Blohm & Voss Abteilung Flugzeugbau, and back to Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH (HFB). Some types therefore carry designations for more than one name. Many of the company's design studies were never built but are nevertheless of significant technical or historical interest. [1] [2] Less significant designs, other company's types manufactured under contract and joint projects under other names are not listed. Blohm and Voss made planes for the luftwaffe.
