	Focke-Wulf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1937 shareholders ousted Heinrich Focke, and he founded, with Gerd Achgelis, Focke Achgelis to specialise in helicopters.
		The first fully controllable helicopter (as opposed to autogyro) was the Focke-Wulf Fw 61, demonstrated by test pilot Hanna Reitsch in 1936 in Berlin.
		Heinrich Focke, Georg Wulf and Dr. Werner Neumann.

	General Facts
		Since Focke's death in 1979 nobody prevented the wind tunnel from dilapidation, because the Focke family lacks funds to maintain the building and the temporary means are not even sufficient to make it watertight.
		Focke was already 70 years old and you might wonder why he didn't settle down like other people of his age.
		Historical significance of Henrich Focke's wind tunnel could not be overestimated, since this is nothing less than the last completely preserved research laboratory of one of the great international aviation pioneers.

	Heinrich Focke—Fa 61
		Focke and Achgelis built seventeen prototypes and one production version before the assembly line was bombed.
		It sufficiently impressed the Nazis that they allowed Focke and Achgelis to form a new helicopter company and awarded them a contract for an enlarged version of the Fa 61 that could lift 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms) of cargo.
		Focke's Fa 61 was far more maneuverable than Bréguet's aircraft and also could fly for extended periods of time.

	Hanna Reitsch (1912-1979), Pioneer Aviatrix
		The Focke-Achgelis GmbH was an offshoot of the Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau, established after Focke had been dismissed from the latter company by the Nazis as a political embarrassment.
		Focke's first experience of rotorcraft construction and operation was gained from building the Cierva C.19 and C.30 autogiros under licence, and then in 1934 he built and flew successfully a scale model helicopter that rose to a height of some 18m.
		Although his helicopter provided loads of plubicity for the high technology then being developed in the Third Reich, Heinrich Focke was considered "politically unreliable" and in 1936 was removed from control of the company he had founded, and Focke Wulf became a mass producer of military airplanes.

	fa269.html
		The Focke Achgelis 269 "convertiplane" was designed in 1943, after it was considered that enough experience had been gained in the helicopter field.
		The purpose of the "convertiplane" was to combine the vertical landing and takeoff characteristics of the helicopter with the much higher cruising speed and fuel economy of the airplane.

	Focke-Achgelis
		lthough Focke Achgelis was responsible for the development of the Fa 330, Weser-Flugzeugbau in Hoyenkamp actually produced the aircraft.
		Thanks to Focke and fellow helicopter pioneer, Anton Flettner, Germany entered World War II as the leader in rotorcraft technology.
		Despite this dubious potential, Heinrich Focke succeeded in building and flying an innovative and interesting rotorcraft.

	Helicopters of the Third Reich
		He partnered with Gerd Achgelis to form Focke-Achgelis in 1937, a company that concentrated totally on helicopters.
		Part of the deal was that Focke would be allowed to continue his helicopter using the Focke-Wulf facilities until such a time as he could develop his own.
		How Focke (of Focke-Wulf fame) got into helos is a story in and of itself.

	Focke-Achgelis Fa.61
		Later, in early 1936, Focke and Gert Achgelis finally built and demonstrated a successful side-by-side, two-rotor machine, called the Fa.61.
		Heinrich Focke of the Focke-Wulf Company began his work on rotating-wing aircraft as early as 1933.
		From the experience he gained by working on these machines and after many wind tunnel tests with small models, Focke began developing the Fw.61 helicopter in 1934, named after his current company, Focke-Wulf.

	Second World War Books Review
		A variety of other helicopter designs were produced in the meantime by Focke Achgelis and Flettner, notably the Fl 282 which underwent extensive testing at sea, including landing on a platform on the stern of moving ships.
		With his new firm, Focke Achgelis, Professor Focke next received from the Air Ministry a contract to produce prototypes of a much larger helicopter—envisioned for anti-submarine warfare, recovery tasks, air-sea rescue, and freight transport—designated Fa 223.
		Of this number, it was intended that 215 were to be built by Focke Achgelis with the remainder subcontracted.
