Axis Powers post-WWII airliner projects

[Antonio]

I have found some Axis Powers post-WWII airliner projects while waiting for Skybolt's superb research on this fascinating topic.

1st class artwork coming from:

Jet Planes of the Third Reich. The secret projects. Volume 2. Manfred Griehl. Monogram. ISBN 0-914144-37-

To give comparison I have taken a contemporary US design, not an airliner but a military transport, the Convair Model 36 Transport derivative. I find that its configuration its very similar to the EF-100 transatlantic airliner

Indeed. And at least this design, in much evolved form, saw daylight as the XC-99.

Is there any more info on the BV 226?

The engines look a bit like turboprops?

 

[Antonio]

The engine is BMW803
120 seat + 15 crew
Dimensions (m): 85 span x 70 lenght

I'll try to find more info

BV-226 = BV P-200 the magnificient... I have a lot of inside renderings of it. Designer was Hamtmann.
FW-300 in reality was a derivative of the FW TOP (Trans-Ozean Project), tendered to the same competion of the EF-100. This night, folks..

You forget Junkers EF-230 airliner.

Junkers EF-230 airliner?

It is unknown for me...can you add more info and a pic if it is possible

 

[Skybolt]

You forget Junkers EF-230 airliner.

UUUUUHHH, please please don't start another querelle on the project numeration of Junkers' .... Numbers above EF-130 are VERY dubious at the best...
EF-131, 132, 140 and 150 were all Ju-287 developments done in URSS after the war. Sometimes the Baade 152 is called EF-152.
If the EF-230 is supposed to be the civilian version of the late war (February 1945) flying wing with a frontal intake for the jets.... ok, but the designation 230 is pure fantasy (at least for what is known)

Boxkite,

I was looking at "Der Passagier-Jet 152" from Holger Lorenz and I was thinking if could the 152 be considered a representative early jet airliner of a what-if WW2 victorious III Reich or not?
(I love the film based in the book Fatherland, the autobahn Berlin-Madrid it is one of the infinite details to show this 1964 Reich)

 

[Skybolt]

The Baade-152 seems dimnutive if you think what were the post war plans and visions of the Axis powers.. The Baade was an interesting aircraft but so "DDR" ....

Let me add my Ju EF 100 images to this thread. Indeed it was commissioned for the Monogram book mentioned.
