Heinkel P.1080
Role Ramjet fighter
National origin Germany
Manufacturer Heinkel
Status Abandoned
Number built 0
Developed from Heinkel P.1078

The Heinkel P.1080 was a German Emergency Fighter proposed by Heinkel.

Design and Development[edit]

Work on the P.1080 began in early 1945 when the Ministry of Aviation issued specifications for a fighter powered by two ramjets. The specifications called for two DFS ramjet engines, each with 3,440 pounds (1,560 kg) of thrust.[1] The aircraft would have been tailless, with the elevators built in to the swept wing, which was based on that of the Heinkel P.1078, and would have had a single vertical stabilizer. The cockpit was located far forward in the fuselage, and the two engines were mounted at the wing roots. The nose would have housed a radar and two 30 mm MK 108 cannon. For takeoff, the aircraft would have been fitted with solid-fuel RATO boosters and jettisonable undercarriage. Landing would have been accomplished with a retractable skid. No prototypes were built.[1]
