Planet Models 013 Gotha P 60 C Nachtjäger

The Gotha Go P.60 was a design for a German flying wing jet fighter from the declining period of World War II. The machine has never been tested, much less entered production. The propulsion was to be provided by two Heinkel HeS 011 or BMW003 turbojet engines. The maximum speed was to reach approx. 960 km / h. In the P.60 D version, the length of the aircraft would be 10.9 meters with a wingspan of 13.51 meters. The deck armament was to consist of 4 30mm MK108 cannons. The design of the Gotha Go P.60 was developed at the end of World War II as a new heavy night fighter. It was assumed that the new machine would feature a flying wing system, and the engines would be placed in two separate nacelles. The machine was also to be fitted with an on-board radar. Interestingly, it was assumed that the crew would be composed of three people: a pilot, an observer and a radar operator. In March 1945, the design works were nearing the end, but the imminent end of the war put an end to their continuation. The Gotha Go P.60 airplane never got past the design stage.
