List of German aircraft projects, 1939–45
- This transport-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
The aircraft in this list include prototype versions of aircraft used by the German Luftwaffe during World War II and unfinished wartime experimental programmes. In the former, development can stretch back to the 1920s and in the latter the project must have started between 1939-1945.

Legitimacy of German projects
After the surrender of Nazi Germany several of the secret or unfinished projects of German military aircraft gained wide publicity. Also certain postwar planes such as the Bell X-5, F-86 Sabre or the MiG-15 were deemed to have been based on the pioneering work of WW2 German aircraft designers.[14][15][16] As a consequence, a myth developed about the technological achievements of the Third Reich and about “Nazi secret weapons” still shrouded in mystery.[17] The legend was partly based on truth, but certain non genuine drawings and pictures of German weapons appeared in the intervening decades in certain more or less dodgy books and magazines. In order to make the forged Nazi projects more plausible these were mostly displayed along with diagrams and data of legitimate designs. Directed towards a public too ready to accept such portrayals as true, aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Zerstörer or the Messerschmitt P.1079 Schwalbe[18] for example have been given wide publicity despite the fact that they are of dubious authenticity.[19]
German aircraft manufacturers such as Henschel in Kassel had their archives destroyed in the course of the Allied bombing of the Third Reich at the end of World War II.[20] Hence some of the late Henschel projects that were recreated later are based on documents found in other locations or on second-hand sources and not on the original Henschel technical drawings.
