Blohm und Voss P.200 Transocean Seaplane Project

[kiradog]

I have this poor scan of the Blohm und Voss P.200 Transocean seaplane. Does anyone know if a cleaner version of this cutway exists in any published books or articles? I'd like to find a cleaner version.

Thanx in advance,
Gary

Isn't it obvious that this is an airliner?
They projected it for transatlantic airlines (after German victory in WWII of course ). It would carry 120 passengers with maximum luxury. It would be really BIG aircraft - similar to the Spruce Goose in size, and even 1.5x heavier!

Technical data for BV P.200 (calculated):
Wing span - 85.0 m
Length - 70.4 m
Wing area - 715 m2
Max. takeoff weight - 210 000 kg
Powerplant - 8x BMW-803, 4000 hp each
Maximum speed - 440 km/h
Cruise speed - 350 km/h
Vertical speed - 3.6 m/s
Flight range - 8000 km
Service ceiling - 6000 m

Additional information of the book by Guetschow:
The BMW 8003 should drive counter rotating props with a diameter of 5m each and would have be
accessible during flight by a tunnel. The wing was based on the typical B & V tubular spar, which
doubled as fuel tank. Apart from the engines and fuel, each wing housed five cargo compartments
of 2m³. The fuselage had a height of 10m, a usable width of 5,40 m and was divided into three decks.
The A-deck was to be fitted with a bar and a dance floor !
The cabins height was 2,10 m, height of the dining room 2,35m. The 120 passengers would have been
served by 8 crew members, plus the flight crew of 6. The reason for all that luxury was, that
passengers should have been poached from the shipping companies and a faster journey wasn't
regarded as enough reason for wealthy travellers to change their means of transportation.

This is for better imagination, how big P.200 actually would be. I implanted it into well-known picture with giant planes comparison.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blohm_&_Voss_P_200 - good also wikipedia page . As concept there was a proposal a Bv726 ( jet - engine version of B.P.200 ) for the end of war.
