Lippisch P.15


A development of the Me 163, the P.15 was to be powered by a single centrally mounted He S011A turbojet. The nose of the aircraft, housing two 30 mm cannon, was to be taken from the He 162. The wings, with a cannon in each root, were from the Me 163, their span being increased by the location of the air intakes in each leading-edge wing root. Other borrowed parts included the Bf 109 main undercarriage.
