The Dornier Do 29 was a proposed zerstörer, or heavy fighter, designed by Dornier as a competitor——to the Messerschmitt Bf 110.
The design answered the Reich Air Ministry requirement in autumn 1934 for a heavy fighter. Highly derivative of the earlier Do 17, the design was rejected before the prototype stage, "and work stopped in 1936."
