The Focke-Achgelis Fa 284 was a project to develop a large transport helicopter designed in 1943 by Focke-Achgelis for use by the Luftwaffe. The helicopter was powered by two BMW 801 radial engines driving transversely-mounted rotors and was equipped with a large detachable cargo pod for carrying loads.The Fa 284 project was abandoned in late 1943 being replaced by a design for an enlarged version of the Fa 223 featuring a four-rotor arrangement; this project was also abandoned.
