Blohm & Voss BV 238

Blohm & Voss BV 238 was a flying-boat of WW2. It was the heaviest aircraft of the whole war, beating out even the B-29 by many tons. The Bv238 V1 prototype first flew April 1944. Six 1900hp engines built by Daimler-Benz were used in total, arranged in three forward facing integrated engine nacelles in a row on each wing. Other protoypes, though started, were not finished. Also of note, a large model of the plane was made during development, known as the FGP 227, and used for tesing.
