History:

In 1941/42 Focke-Wulf modified a Fw 190 by replacing it's BMW 801 piston engine with a simple centrifugal turbojet engine of there own design, this comprised of a two-stage centrifugal compressor and a single-stage turbine, the exhaust exited through three annular outlets which were in the same place for the BMW piston engine ( two outlets at the side and one under the fuselage). Due to technical problems the project was canceled.
