Vogt's radical design included a propeller mounted part way back along the fuselage, which was of tubular cross-section and shared a common axis so that the propeller appeared to cut it in half. The engine was placed immediately behind the propeller, while the forward fuselage accommodated the pilot and retractable nosewheel.
In order to provide sufficient structural stiffness, a small fore wing was mid-mounted on the front section and short tip booms ran back on either side of the propeller to brace the forward section against the main wing, also mid-mounted. A conventional tail was also fitted, making it a three-surface aircraft.
The main wing was straight, with a heavily tapered trailing edge, and airflow for the engine cooling radiators entered through long, narrow leading edge slits inboard of the booms.
Armament comprised two 20 mm MG 151 machine guns in the nose section and two 30 mm MK 108 cannon in the side booms. External provision was made for carrying a single 500 kilograms (1,100 lb) bomb beneath the fuselage.
Two options were studied, the P 192.01 powered by a Daimler-Benz DB 603G and the P 192.02 powered by a Junkers Jumo 213A, both engines being liquid-cooled inverted V12 types.
The P 192.01 had a wing span of 13 metres (42 ft 8 in) and a length of 11.7 metres (38 ft 5 in).
The P 192.02 was slightly smaller and had a tapered tailplane, in comparison to the P.01 with a constant-chord tail.[1]
