The Focke Rochen, also known as Focke-Wulf Schnellflugzeug or Focke-Wulf VTOL was a German VTOL aircraft project. Designed by Heinrich Focke of the Focke-Wulf company towards the end of World War II, the project remained unbuilt before the surrender of Nazi Germany, but saw some development in the postwar years. The information about this project is limited; it was named after the ray owing to its unusual shape.
The aircraft had an airfoil section with two huge propellers in the center.
