German engeneers concepts after ww2

[AR90]

Hi everybody.
I know after ww2 german companies like Messerschmitt and Heinkel were banned. But nobody can ban the brain of engeneers. There must be some designs atleast on paper from german engeneers.

Is there anything after Me P.1112, He P1080, BV p.217, Fw Ta-183 (IAe33 Pulqui II),...

The only one I could find was the Dornier AlphaJet BUT I’m looking for a 2nd-3rd generation fighter, something supersonic comparable to MiG-19 & MiG-21 or US FJ-4 and F-100, F-104 starfighter

I would be really grateful if you could share any suggestion or documentation on this.

Start by looking at the following designation threads to find the postwar Messerschmitt and Heinkel projects that you are interested in.

-- https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/messerschmitt-designations-post-war-and-pre-mbb.17687/

-- https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/bölkow-and-mbb-designations.675/

-- https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/ernst-heinkel-a-g.9752/

Then, go to the Secret Postwar Aircraft Projects index page. While there, click on the Search function, type in Messerschmitt (or Heinkel or the specific project of interest), and select 'This forum' (in place of the default 'Everywhere').

Many changed over to vehicle development, at least for some time:

Messerschmidt designed the quite famous "cabin scooter" or Kabinenroller:

Heinkel designed scooters:

Erich Bachem (Bachem Natter) continued working with wood, after a short period of building guitarres in Argentinia he was very sucsessfull with his caravan design ("Eriba").

And that doesn't count all the engineers and scientists that went to work in the US under Operation Paperclip (and the other nation's equivalents)

#5 Ernst Heinkel - Pionier der Schnellflugzeuge by H. Dieter Köhler
#17 Willy Messerschmitt - Pionier der Luftfahrt und des Leichtbaues by Hans J. Ebert/Johann B. Kaiser/Klaus Peters
