In addition to the aforementioned changes, V7 was fitted with six 746 kW (1,000 hp) Jumo 207C inline two-stroke diesel engines. With a takeoff weight of 50,000 kg (110,000 lb) and a range of 6,100 km (3,800 mi). it was intended as the prototype BV 222C.

flights, covering a total flight time of 38 minutes, no less than four engine fires were recorded. While many spare engines were available, they were of substandard quality due to the lack of quality alloys near the end of the conflict, and thus caught fire easily. Since the aircraft was not airworthy with these engines, the aircraft was taken out to open water and sunk by a US Navy destroyer.

On 7 August 1941, V2 (CC+ER) made its first flight; following a period of extensive testing, it was assigned to LTS 222 on 10 August 1942 as X4+AB. Since the aircraft was intended for long-distance overwater flights, in addition to the armament fitted to V1, it received two rear-facing wing-mounted
283:-bound patients, over a short distance at a maximum speed of 385 km/h (239 mph). The flight characteristics were determined to be satisfactory, although some improvements were required. Further trials of the aircraft lasted until December 1940, at which point the V1 was transferred to the
