Development

The Ta 254 would have been a high-wing monoplane with 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]
