The aircraft in this list include prototype versions of aircraft used by the German Luftwaffe during World War II and unfinished wartime experimental programmes. In the former, development can stretch back to the 1920s and in the latter the project must have started between 1939-1945.
The Amerikabomber project was an initiative of the German Ministry of Aviation to obtain a strategic bomber that could reach the United States from Germany. The project involved proposals from Focke-Wulf, Heinkel, Junkers, and Messerschmitt, but was abandoned due to technical and strategic challenges.
The Focke-Wulf Ta 400 was a large six-engined heavy bomber design developed in Nazi Germany in 1943 by Focke-Wulf as a serious contender for the Amerikabomber project. One of the first aircraft to be developed from components from multiple countries, it was also one of the most advanced Focke-Wulf designs of World War II, though it never progressed beyond a wind tunnel model.
