The aircraft Bolkow Bo 46 is a two-seater aircraft having high maneuverability and the ability to move at high speeds, which in turn provided him certain prospects for future reference. However, due to inability to be carried aboard any cargo or passengers more same project and could not be interested buyers.

If necessary, the aircraft could be used as an aerial surveillance vehicle, as a patrol vehicle, or as a vehicle to chase ground vehicles (as a police aircraft).
