The Focke-Wulf Ta 254 was a proposed German development of the Ta 154 fighter to be produced by Focke-Wulf.[1]

Development

The Ta 254 would have been a high-wing monoplane with a retractable tricycle landing gear.[1] It was to have been powered by either two Daimler-Benz DB603E, Daimler-Benz DB 603L or Jumo 213Es piston engines.[1] The main difference from the Ta 154 was to have been long-span wings and it was intended to produce both day and night fighter variants.[1]
