Design and development

The MeC 164 was designed in Germany by Messerschmitt as an 8-passenger airliner powered by two Argus As 411 inline engines as the Me 164. as designed, it was lighter than the Si 204, but was expected to have worse performance than the competing aircraft.[1] Once design work was completed, Messerschmitt handed it over to Caudron in Issy-les-Moulineaux, which began construction of the prototype in 1942 under the designation MeC 164 V1. However, construction of the prototype progressed slowly, and as a result the project was canceled.[1]

Die Messerschmitt-Caudron Me C 164, anfangs Messerschmitt Me 308, war das Projekt eines achtssitzigen Verkehrsflugzeugs. Es wurde Ende 1940 als Me 308 von Hans Regelin bei Messerschmitt begonnen und von Walter Rethel ab März 1941 fortgeführt. Aufgrund von Überlastung des Augsburges Konstruktionsbüros wurde es als Me C 164 an Caudron in Frankreich abgegeben. Als Konkurrent zur Siebel Si 204 waren die Konstruktionsunterlagen zu 30 % vollendet, als das Me-C-164-Programm 1942 eingestellt wurde.
