The Messerschmitt Me 264 was a long-range strategic bomber developed during World War II for the German Luftwaffe as its main strategic bomber. The design was later selected as Messerschmitt 's competitor in the Reichsluftfahrtministerium ' s (the German Air Ministry) Amerikabomber (America Bomber) programme, for a strategic bomber capable of ...

As both the Me 264 and He 277 were each intended to be four-engined bombers from their origins, the troubling situation of being unable to develop combat-reliable piston aviation engines of 1,500 kW (2,000 PS) and above output levels led to both designs being considered for six-engined upgrades, with Messerschmitt's paper project for a 47.5 ...

梅塞施密特Me 264是一款二战期间为德国空军研发的远程战略轰炸机。 她的设计方案被德意志帝国航空部选作“轰炸美利坚”计划的竞标者，该计划旨在研发一种能从位于法国或亚速尔群岛的基地起飞、执行轰炸纽约任务的战略轰炸机。 Three prototypes were built but production was abandoned to allow Messerschmitt to concentrate on fighter production and the Junkers Ju 390 was selected in its place as a maritime reconnaissance aircraft.

In early 1941, Messerschmitt received an order to build six prototype Projekt 1061 aircraft, which were given the designation of Me 264. If the aircraft proved capable, a further 24 aircraft were to be built for "harassing attacks against the United States".

A fully-loaded Me 264 was soon found to exhibit a poor rate-of-climb and equally degraded maneuverability - this before armor and weaponry were even added to the mix. Performance from the BMW 801 series (G or H) radial engines netted the Me 264 a top speed of 350 miles per hour with an impressive range of 9,500 miles.

2023年1月25日 · US bombers operating from Italy bombed the airfield at Memmingen where the Me 264 was stored in a hanger. Over 150 Luftwaffe personnel were killed in this raid and more than 30 aircraft were destroyed, including both the Me 264V1 and the partially completed V3.

The Messerschmitt Me 264 Amerika was a long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft developed during World War II for the German Luftwaffe. It was intended to support U-boat operations far into the Atlantic, serving both as a scout to direct the attack, as well as launching attacks of its own...

2022年7月27日 · Nothing daunted, Messerschmitt continued developing a range of options based on the Me 264, on top of the baseline design, some of which were proposals to build a variant with jet engines. As it was, the Me 264 V1 finally received the more powerful BMW 801 radial engines that were now considered to be the most likely fit for any production ...

The Messerschmitt Me 264 was a long-range strategic bomber aircraft developed by Germany during World War II. Purpose: It was designed as an ‘Amerika Bomber,’ intended to strike targets in the United States from bases in Europe. Development: The project began in the late 1930s and continued into the early 1940s.
