This late-war Messerschmitt project "Wespe" (Wasp) is mostly unknown, and information on it is incomplete. Two seperate fuselages were designed for the Wespe":
Design I had the cockpit located midway along the fusleage, and the single He S 011 jet engine was located at the rear and was fed by a long air duct. A long tapering single fin a and rudder was chosen, with the tailplanes located about halfway up.
Design II's cockpit was loctaed far forward on the fuselage, with the single He S 011 turbojet was mounted mid fuselage. It was fed by an air duct whiuch wrapped under the forward fuselage, and exhausted below a tail boom with a V- Tail unit.
Both designs used a tricycle landing gear arrangement, with the main gear retracting inwards from the wing and the front gear retracting forwards. No armament was specified, but at this stage in the war two MK 108 30mm cannon would probably have been fitted.
