The Focke-Wulf Fw 300 was a proposed very-long-range civil airliner, transport, reconnaissance aircraft and anti-ship aircraft designed by Focke-Wulf in 1941 and 1942. The design was intended to replace the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Kondor.
The proposed Fw 300 had an all-metal airframe, a low-wing cantilever configuration, and a pressurized fuselage. Space was provided for up to 50 passengers in individual compartments. The landing gear was retractable. ...

The Focke-Wulf Fw 300 was a proposed very-long-range civil airliner, transport, reconnaissance aircraft and anti-ship aircraft designed by Focke-Wulf in 1941 and 1942. The design was intended to replace the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Kondor.
The proposed Fw 300 had an all-metal airframe, a low-wing cantilever configuration, and a pressurized fuselage. Space was provided for up to 50 passengers in individual compartments. The landing gear was retractable. Four wing-mounted piston engines were proposed to drive the aircraft. Two engine candidates were:
Both engines were liquid-cooled.
In the proposed military configuration, the eight-man crew were to have been enclosed in one pressure cabin and the defensive gun armament operated remotely. For anti-ship missions, it would have carried guided missiles.
Design work continued during the first years of the war, but were shelved as the need for long-range bombers or other long-range efforts diminished and other priorities emerged. A prototype was...
