This fighter-bomber was designed by Dr. Vogt of Blohm und Voss in 1942,
designer of the BV 141 and other asymmetric designs. Although the BV P.170 was
of a symmetrical design, it was still unorthodox in appearance.
The wing was of
constant chord, and contained the ailerons and
landing flaps, which were to be constructed of
wood or a light metal. Three BMW 801D radial
engines (rated at 1600 horsepower each) provided
the power; each drove a three-bladed 3.5 m (11'
5") propeller.
One engine was
located on the front of the main fuselage, while
the other two were mounted on wingtip gondolas,
each with a single vertical fin and rudder
located at the rear.
The two outside
engines rotated in opposite directions, to help
cancel out excessive torque. The two man crew
(pilot and radio operator/ observer/ bombadier)
sat in a cockpit located in the extreme rear of
the center fuselage, of which there were two
main designs.
A normal
"tail-dragger" undercarriage was fitted, with
the exception of there being three main landing
gear legs (1015 x 380 mm wheels were to be
fitted to each leg), one located just aft of
each engine.
Each main landing gear leg retracted to the rear
into the engine nacelle or main fuselage. 2000
kg (4400 lbs.) of bombs
could be carried in underwing mountings. The
project's speed was thought to preclude
interception, thus no defensive armament was to
be fitted.
