Er fusionierte 1969 zu Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm. The aircraft was designed as Messerschmitt project P.1073 in 1941, and was originally conceived as a cheap and simple escort fighter, to either be towed aloft by a Its construction was to be mainly of wood. The tiny fighter was to have been propelled by pulsejets, but the unsuitability of these engines doomed the Me 328 from the start. It had been easy to build and the materials had been frugal, that´s why the industry could produce big quantities of this aircraft. Die Messerschmitt AG war ein in Haunstetten (heute nach Augsburg eingemeindet) ansässiger deutscher Flugzeughersteller, später auch Kraftfahrzeughersteller. Bei Zeppelin in Friedrichshafen wurde 1943 die Z Me 323 G (Z für Zeppelin) entworfen. Das Jägernotprogramm beendete den Bau der Messerschmitt Gigant. The aircraft was designed as Messerschmitt project P.1073 in 1941, and was originally conceived as a cheap and simple escort fighter, to either be towed aloft by a Its construction was to be mainly of wood. Messerschmitt Me 328 Anfang 1943 wurde in einer Gemeinschaftsarbeit zwischen der Messerschmitt AG und der deutschen Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug ein einsitziger Jäger projektiert, der ohne eigenen Antrieb im Mistelschlepp an den feindlichen Bomberverband herangetragen und dann im Gleitflug seine Angriffe durchführen sollte.

However, the smallish Me 328 languished through an unexpectedly long development period that ultimately saw itself produced in a few workable prototypes. It was subsequently handed over to the Despite this, planning continued, and a version was projected, which would use four Argus pulsejets, two mounted below the wings in addition to the original pair mounted above the rear fuselage. Late in the war, the design was resurrected for consideration as a Selbstopfer (suicide weapon) aircraft, but was judged unsuitable even for this purpose.

During its protracted development, a wide variety of other roles were suggested for it.

It had been easy to build and the materials had been frugal, that´s why the industry could produce big quantities of this aircraft. Im Mai 1944 legte die Firma den Entwurf für die Z Me 323 H für 16,2 Tonnen Mindest-Nutzlast vor. There had been many variations, to …

The Messerschmitt 328 was intended as such a parasite contraption and was envisioned as part of the inherent defense system of the optimistic German "super bombers" being planned.

The Messerschmitt Me 328 was originally designed as a parasite aircraft to protect Luftwaffe bomber formations during World War II. The aircraft was designed as Messerschmitt project P.1073 in 1941, and was originally conceived as a cheap and simple escort fighter, to either be towed aloft by a Heinkel He 177 heavy bomber or Junkers Ju 388 using a semi-rigid bar (the Deichselschlepp, which was also considered for towing auxiliary fuel tanks), or carried on a Me 264 in a Mistel type fashion. The Messerschmitt Me 328 - originally developed as kamikaze airplane - had been "newfound" in the end of the war. It was subsequently handed over to the Despite this, planning continued, and a version was projected, which would use four Argus pulsejets, two mounted below the wings in addition to the original pair mounted above the rear Moves were made to revive the Me 328 again in 1944 as a piloted flying bomb based on the Me 328B, fitted with a 900 kg (2,000 lb) bomb, but it was dropped in favour of the A wide variety of roles were suggested for the aircraft, ranging from a There had been many variations, to … The Messerschmitt Me 328 - originally developed as kamikaze airplane - had been "newfound" in the end of the war.

Bomber versions of both types were proposed, and work continued on them at the insistence of Moves were made to revive the Me 328 again in 1944 as a piloted flying bomb based on the Me 328B, fitted with a 900 kg (2,000 lb) bomb, but it was dropped in favour of the A wide variety of roles were suggested for the aircraft, ranging from a Die Messerschmitt Me 328 war ein von der Messerschmitt AG und der Deutschen Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS) konzipiertes einsitziges Mehrzweck kampfflugzeug mit zwei Verpuffungsstrahltriebwerken, das gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs in …

Sie sollte eine Mindest-Nutzlast von 12,7 Tonnen tragen können.
