The Henschel P.75 was an unrealised German design for a fighter aircraft created by Henschel during World War II.
It was meant to be replacement for the Messerschmitt Bf 110. It had an unusual canard configuration seen on other fighters like the XP-55 and the J7W1.[1]
Work on the P.75 had begun in 1942 as a replacement for the Messerschmitt Bf 110. It had a canard configuration with a slightly swept wing and was to be powered by two side-by-side Daimler-Benz DB 605 engines driving contra-rotating propellers in a pusher configuration.[2] Armament was to consist of four nose-30mm MK 108 cannons were mounted in the nose, and the single pilot would be seated ahead of the engines.
