The origin of the Me 264 design came from Messerschmitt's long-range reconnaissance aircraft project, the P.1061, of the late 1930s.A variant on the P.1061 was the P.1062 of which three prototypes were built, with only two "engines" to the P.1061's four, but they were the more powerful Daimler-Benz DB 606 "power systems", each comprising a pair of DB 601 inverted V-12 engines.
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 ...
M264 engines also have intake variable valve timing and a 48V system that powers the electric auxiliary compressor and integrated starter alternator. However, unlike M256 which uses a BorgWarner electric auxiliary compressor, the M264 has a belt-driven starter-alternator combo as well as a 48V electric water pump.
M260/M264 engine has a hidden defect in valve heads. Problem is in the leaking exhaust valve seats creating misfires. Mercedes Canada already issued a warranty extension ECR-M0002-22-010. This issue is lately discussed over multiple boards since MB in Europe does not provide any support outside warranty.
The first prototype Focke-Wulf Ta 154 V1, TE+FE, powered by Jumo 211R engines, first flown 1 July 1943, tested at Rechlin, is written off in a landing accident this date when the landing gear collapsed. This was a recurrent problem that accounted for the loss of several of the type. [84] 31 July
The Me 264 prototypes were already flying their test programs with power of exactly the same choice that Heinkel had asked for on November 17, 1938, [6] for the He 177 V3 and V4 prototypes: with four Junkers Jumo 211 engines as early as late December 1942 – a full year after Nazi Germany had declared war on the United States, five months ...
twin-engine heavy fighter and fast bomber; development of Me 210 Me 509: not built fighter, based on Me 309, with engine located behind cockpit as in P-39 Airacobra: Me 510: twin-engine fighter-bomber (not built) Me 609: heavy fighter; combined two Me 309 fuselages into one airframe, as with Bf 109Z and Me 409 (development abandoned) P.08-01 ...
Before World War II, the Germans saw the potential for aircraft powered by the jet engine constructed by Hans von Ohain in 1936. [15] [16] After the successful test flights of the world's first jet aircraft—the Heinkel He 178—within a week of the invasion of Poland which started the conflict, they adopted the jet engine for an advanced fighter aircraft.
