  Blohm und Voss HA 139
Operated by Deutsche Lufthansa in the transatlantic transport role before the war, the three Ha 139's were appropriated by the Luftwaffe at the outbreak of hostilities.
V1 and V2 were used as transports in the Norwegian campaign while V3 was rebuilt in 1940 and redesigned the Ha 139B/U. The most obvious changes were the inclusion of a long observer nose.
The Ha 139B/U was later rebuilt and redesigned the Ha 139B/MS, being equipped with minesweeping equipment in the form of a large current-carrying degausing ring for detonating magnetic mines.

The Blohm + Voss BV 155 was a high-altitude interceptor aircraft intended to be used by the Luftwaffe against raids by USAAF B-29's.
Blohm und Voss found, somewhat to their surprise, that P.1091 was essentially a research project only, and little actual engineering had been started.
Blohm und Voss decided that the design problems still needed fixing, but by late 1943 they still hadn't been addressed.

From the foundation of the company in 1933 until World War II, the most important aircraft built by Blohm und Voss was the Ha 139, two of which - the Nordmeer and Nordwind - were delivered to Deutsche Luft Hansa in 1937.
For the 26 transatlantic flights of 1938 between the Azores and New York an improved and larger type of Ha 139, the Ha 139B Nordstern, was delivered.
The Ha 139 type was also used to a limited extent during World War II as a reconnaissance, mine-laying and ambulance aircraft.

 Blohm & Voss Ha 137
The Ha 137 was Blohm & Voss;'s entry into the contest to equip the re-forming Luftwaffe with their first purpose-built dive bomber.
Although the contest would eventually be won by the infamous Junkers Ju 87, the Ha 137 demonstrated that B&V's Hamburger Flugzeugbau, not even two years old at this point, had a truly capable design team of their own.
It quickly became apparent that the Hornet was so large that the visibility during diving was greatly effected, and the RLM then suggested that the third prototype be completed as a 6b with the Kestrel, delaying it slightly to change the engine mounts and add a somewhat odd looking radiator under the nose.

The recent development of biofuel alternatives to fossil fuels has unleashed the ability to produce a net-sum of zero emissions of CO, as it is re-absorbed into plants and then comes full circle, being used to produce the fuel.
Ethanol is also used in some cases, since it has a high octane rating which means it can be highly compressed before spontaneously igniting.

As it was the largest flying boat ever constructed at that time, Blohm und Voss engineers could not determined its aerodynamic and hydrodynamic abilities.

Saab has high hopes for export success with the Gripen; the Swedish government has agreed to a slight relaxation of the export restrictions that made the Viggen a non-starter outside Sweden.
An unconfirmed report has it that one factor was the fact that the YF-23 had its internal AAMs "stacked" in its bays, while the YF-22's missiles each had a bay to themselves; this meant that, on the YF-23, a malfunction in one launcher might prevent the launch of another missile in the same bay.
Rumour has it this aircraft was intended to carry the German atomic bomb to America.

Blohm and Voss attempted to adapt the Ha 139 seaplane into a transatlantic mail transport for Lufthansa, but its mediocre payload and performance did not pass the corporate "so-what" test.
Attempting to salvage the project, Blohm and Voss engineers replaced the mail storage bay with a bomb bay and added an He 111-styled ventral cupola in an attempt to interest the Luftwaffe.

The 139 was originally intended to be used in similar roles as the other German radials, namely bombers and transport aircraft, but mid-way through the program Kurt Tank suggested it for use in the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter project.
His solution for the 139 was to use an engine-driven fan behind an oversized prop-spinner, which blew air through the engine, with some being "sucked" through S-shaped ducts over a radiator for oil cooling.
Differences between the 139 and the new design, named the 801 after BMW was given a new block of engine numbers to use, were fairly minor and limited primarily to details except for 14-cylinders instead of 18.

The Ha 139 floatplane was designed as shipboard mailplane.
The Ha 139 could be launched by catapult from the ship when this was near to its destination, thus delivering the post well before the ship was in port.
The three built were later pressed into military service, and the third prototype was extensively modified, with a long glazed nose, for maritime reconnaissance.

The Yak-44 AEW aircraft has been cancelled; an Ka-32 helicopter has been seen with what appears to be an AEW system.
This has led to a few aircraft having a real designation that differs from the one they're commonly known by; for example, the F-5 and F/A-18 in Canadian service are usually referred to as the CF-5 and CF-18, but the correct designations are CF-116 and CF-188, respectively.

Blohm and Voss company of Hamburg, Germany was, and still is, a shipbuilder, (but I gather they've stopped building U-boats).
Still, Blohm und Voss had so much confidence in it that they produced a prototype at their own risk.
This was followed up by two more prototypes and finally ten production models, but the unconventional appearance of the plane was too much for the Nazis.

 Big Sweep
It has its own fuel, but if need be, the tow line connecting it to the helicopter can double as a fuel hose, so the sled can be refueled from the helicopter's tanks.
Balancing himself against the twitching towbar--the arm that holds the ball to which the tow cable is attached--Restituyo, who like most crewmen usually has many more hours "under tow" than the pilots he flies with, watched with a practiced eye as choppy waves washed over the sled's hydrofoils a hundred feet below.
Since the towbar swings freely inside the helicopter, the pilot has to keep it aligned with the center of the helicopter or a nasty collision of boom, wall, and crewman will result--followed by the crewman and a section of the boom ending up outside the aircraft.
