The Messerschmitt P.1079 was a series of different experimental Messerschmitt fighters projected during the Second World War. The last designs were proposed in 1944 towards the end of the Third Reich.[1] Except for the last one, all the aircraft designs were to be powered by pulse jets, the same engines used in the V-1 flying bomb.
