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 ...

Nakajima designers Kenichi Matsumura and Kazuo Ohno laid out an aircraft that bore a strong but superficial resemblance to the Me 262. [ 2 ] The Kikka was designed in preliminary form to use the Tsu-11 , a rudimentary motorjet style jet engine that was essentially a ducted fan with an afterburner .
