The Focke-Wulf Fw 300 was a proposed very long range civil airliner, transport, reconnaisance aircraft and anti-ship aircraft designed by Focke-Wulf in 1941 and 1942. The design was intended to replace the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor.
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.
