BLOHM und VOSS BV-237

This project is the only asymmetric Blohm-Voss design (except for the BV.141) that has no "P" prefix. Evidently the works on this aircraft were well advanced when the war end put an end to its progress. BV.237 incorporated many features of the similar Schlachtflugzeug projects (P.177, P.179, P.194), but differed with its powerplant which included one turbojet engine hung under the wing center section.
