Between 1942 and 1944 the Blohm and Voss design team submitted to RLM a number of project proposals for long-range bombers. One design for a reconnaissance and bomber proposed under the project designation P.184.01 was come from mind of Blohm and Voss cheif designer and head of the project bureau, Dr-Ing Richard Vogt. An unusual feature of the P.184 was its long and almost untapered wing. It was intended to carry more fuel in the box shaped wing spar that ran the length of the wing. The P.184 fuselage was likewise constructed entirely of steel. The wing was to be covered by skin of 2mm steel-sheet. The simple construction and use of steel as a building material ensured that the P.184 met all the requirements laid down in the RLM specification. In the event, the deteriorating war situation prevented further development of most long-range bomber designs.
