History:
The Gotha P.60 program was Dr Gothert and Ing Hunerjager attempt to improve
the Ho IX/Go 229. The main airframe of the P.60 was made of tubular steel with
the wings being of a all wood lattice work, both were covered with a plywood/carbon-sawdust
mix/plywood sandwich which was radar absorbent. The two crew members were accommodated
side by side in a prone position with the cabin being fully faired in to the
nose shape, the engines were mounted above and below the rear of the aircraft.
Work had started on the prototype P.60 B, when at the end of January 1945 new
requirements were laid down, which led to all work being stopped on the P.60
B.
