The Messerschmitt Bf 165 was a German long-range bomber project. There is very little published about the Bf 165, but it is known that wind tunnel testing of the aircraft began in 1937. A full-scale mockup of the aircraft was constructed for display to the Reichsführer in 1937.[1] The Bf 165 was designed to have a top speed of 600 km/h, a range of 6000 km, and a bombload of 1000kg.[2]
