Focke-Wulf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau AG was a German manufacturer of military aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. Meanwhile Tank had designed and produced the passenger-carrying Fw 200 Kondor (Kondor), which could fly the Atlantic non-stop. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Focke-Wulf   (618 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 200 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 was a German all metal four engined monoplane that entered service as an airliner and later as long range reconnaissance and anit-shipping bomber aircraft for the Luftwaffe. The Fw 200 was built to a Lufthansa specification with Dipl.-Ing. There were three versions - the Fw 200A, B, and C. The Model A was a purely civilian plane used by Lufthansa, DDL in Denmark, and Syndicato Condor in Brazil. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_200   (686 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor The remaining six Fw 200C-0s were given the locally reinforced structure and simple armament comprising three 7.92 mm (0.31 in) MG 15 machine guns, one in a small (almost hemispherical) turret behind the flight deck, one in a rear dorsal cokcpit with a fold-over hood and the third fired from a rear ventral hatch. The main addition to the Fw 200C-1 was a ventral gondola, offset as in the Japanese Fw 200 V10 but longer in order to provide room for a weapons bay (which was normally used to carry a cement bomb with 551 lbs (250 kg) ballistics dropped as a check on bombsight settings). Oddly, the Fw 200C-4 went back to the HDL 151 turret and MG 15s elsewhere except for the front of the gondola, which had the MG 131 or MG 151/20 depending on whether or not the Lofte 7D was fitted. www.kotfsc.com /aviation/fw200.htm   (3294 words)

uboat.net - Technical pages For offensive purposes the Fw 200C was equipped with the low-altitude Revi bombsight, or the Lofte 7D sight for attacks from between 3500m and 4000m. The answer was the Fw 200C, with some modest structural reinforcements, improved cowlings containing 850hp BMW 132H-1 engines with three-bladed propellers, and bomb crutches on the wings. The Fw 200 crews were now instructed not to attack, and to evade all combat unless unavoidable. uboat.net /technical/fw200.htm   (1213 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 187 Falke "Falcon" The next prototype Fw 187 V6 (CI-NY) was able to utilize two 1000 hp Daimler-Benz DB 600A liquid cooled engines and was outfitted with surface evaporation cooling to reduce the drag of coolant radiators. The second prototype Fw 187 V2 was flying by summer of 1937 and it was destined to be the last single seat version. The third prototype Fw 187 was radically altered, but to save weight and dimensional changes the extra position was as a radio operator with no defensive guns. 1000aircraftphotos.com /HistoryBriefs/FockeWulfFw187.htm   (867 words)

WW2 Warbirds: the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger (Shrike) - Frans Bonné The Fw 190 V18 was later revised to Fw 190 V18/U1 standard with a revised powerplant (the DB 603A engine and a DVL TK-11 turbocharger), rated at 1,600 hp (1.193 kW) at an altitude of 35,105 ft (10700 m). The Fw 190G-2 was a simple development of the Fw 190G-1 based on the airframe of the Fw 190A-5 with its longer nose section for an overall length of 29 ft 4.25 in (8,95 m). Fw 190A-8/R8 Assault-fighter, based on the Fw 190A-8/R7, and armed with 2 × fixed 30 mm MK 108 cannon in the outboard wing positions, 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon in the inboard wing positions, and 2 × 0.312 in (7.92 mm) MG 17 guns on the upper nose (like the Fw 190A-8/R2). www.xs4all.nl /~fbonne/warbirds/ww2htmls/fockfw190.html   (4903 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 The Focke Wulf company's initial responses (based on the DB 601 engine) drew little interest, but their designer Kurt Tank proposed to use the eighteen-cylinder, air-cooled, radial BMW 139 in a fighter. They soon found out, as the FW 190 bested the Spitfire Mark V. However, the four 7.9mm machine guns were not adequate firepower; an upgrade to heavier armament had been planned as soon as the guns were available. For weaponry, the Fw 190A-1 carried four rifle-caliber machine guns, two in the cowling and two in the wing roots; all fired through the propeller arc. www.acepilots.com /german/fw190.html   (1979 words)

WW2 Warbirds: the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor - Frans Bonné Fw 200C-3/U4 The Fw 19 forward dorsal turret was restored and the 2 × 0.312 in (7.92 mm) MG 15 guns in the two beam positions were replaced by 0.51 in (13 mm) MG 131 guns. Fw 200C-3/U2 This version retained the original type of forward dorsal machine gun position and the MG 151/20 cannon was replaced by a 0.51 in (13 mm) MG 131 trainable forward-firing gun. The Fw 200/Hs 293 combination was not notably successful after its introduction in December 1943, and by June 1944 most of the surviving Fw 200s had been withdrawn from service as maritime patrol bomber and missile launch platforms for use as transports. www.xs4all.nl /~fbonne/warbirds/ww2htmls/fockfw200.html   (1384 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 190D The Fw 190D-10 was an experimental version of the D-9 with an engine-mounted MK 108 cannon and two MG 151 cannon in the wing roots. The general opinion of the pilots who flew the FW 190D-9 was that it was the finest propeller-driven fighter available to the Luftwaffe during the entire war. The Fw 190D-12 was a fighter-bomber variant, which differed from the D-9 by having a three-stage supercharged Jumo 213F-1 engine rated at 2060 hp for takeoff mounted in a new, more extensively armored cowling. www.csd.uwo.ca /~pettypi/elevon/baugher_other/fw190d.html   (1296 words)

Cybermodeler Online - Trumpeter 1/48 Focke Wulf Fw 200C-4 Condor The Focke Wulf design team is remembered for many different innovative designs, especially the potent Fw 190 fighter series. As a VIP transport, the Fw 200 was clearly suited for the role. One aircraft off their drawing boards that is sometimes overlooked is their four-engined airliner, the Fw 200 Condor. www.cybermodeler.com /hobby/kits/tru/kit_tru_fw200.shtml   (743 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 - Germany The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Ranks with the Supermarine Spitfire, Vought F4U Corsair and North American P-51 Mustang as one of the best fighters of World War II. The standard Fw 190A was quickly modified to perform a number of roles, particularly that of fighter-bomber in the F and G versions. The long-nosed Fw 190D was also developed into the Ta 152 after its designer, Kurt Tank-in which the installation of a 2,300 hp (with boost) DB 603 engine pushed the speed up to 745km/h (463 mph). www.aviation-history.com /focke-wulf/fw190.html   (1561 words)

miscellaneous The Focke Wulf 200 is a flying legend. The Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin tried to save a Focke Wulf 200/C from the ground of a Norwegian fjord near Trondheim. Although the wreck is heavily damaged, it is still supposed to be the best conserved FW 200 in the world - it´s the only complete one - and the museum-professionals are planning to build it up for exhibition www.airrace.de /misc.htm   (261 words)

Focke Wulf Fw 190A-4 The Focke Wulf was for the early years of the war considered Germany's "other iron in the fire" as far as the Luftwaffe was concerned. It is ironic that the Fw 190A-4 hates altitude, as she is one of the worst planes to be caught low-and-slow in. The FW 190D9 also fires her 20mm cannon in the same time as her FW siblings, with the same ammunition loadout as the FW 190A8. www.rdrop.com /users/hoofj/FW190A4.htm   (866 words)

Warbird Alley: Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Arguably, the Fw 190's greatest impact on the Allied war effort was to spur ever-greater advances in technology and aircraft design to counter its threat. As the war progressed, the Fw 190 was developed into many variants as a pure fighter, a ground-attack fighter/bomber, and as a close-support aircraft. For nearly a year, until the debut of the Spitfire IX, the Fw 190 was the unmatched champion of the air war. www.warbirdalley.com /fw190.htm   (290 words)

The Focke-Wulf FW-190 The Focke-Wulf design team was aware that the FW-190's armament was inadequate, having settled on the four machine guns due to temporary difficulties in obtaining heavier armament -- and in fact the A-1 was basically regarded as an operational evaluation type that was not entirely fit for real combat. The next A-series subvariant, the "FW-190A-2", replaced the MG-17 machine gun in each wing root with a more potent Mauser belt-fed MG-151/20 20 millimeter cannon with 200 rounds per gun, providing a total armament of two machine guns and two cannon. The BT series of munitions were also built in 200 kilogram (440 pound), 400 kilogram (880 pound), and 700 kilogram (1,540 pound) versions. www.vectorsite.net /avfw190.html   (7760 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor - Maritime Reconnaisance Bomber Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor- Maritime Reconnaisance Bomber The resulting Fw 200 V-10 prototype introduced a ventral gondola and led to the Fw 200 C-0 as the prototype of a Luftwaffe aircraft which had never been requested or planned and yet which was to prove a most powerful instrument of war. But, though the Fw 200 family continued to grow in equipment and lethality, the Allies fought back with longe-range Coastal Command aircraft, escort carriers and CAM (Catapault-Armed Merchantman) fighters and by mid-1944 surviving Condors were being forced into transport roles on other fronts. ww2aircraft.co.uk /Fw200.html   (345 words)

Messerschmitt Me 264 Luft '46 Entry The Focke-Wulf Fw 200, Heinkel He 177, Blohm and Voss BV 222 and Messerschmitt Me 261/264 were to all be compared to find the best aircraft for this purpose. It was decided that any flights over 13500 km (8389 miles) would need in flight refueling, and General Jeschonnek had already turned down this option in February 1942 (even though initial in flight refueling tests with a Fw 58 and a Ju 90 had been successful). On June 29, 1944, the Trial Establishments Headquarters definitely stated that the Me 264, as well as the Ju 390, would be unsuitable for operational deployment since its fitting with the entire military equipment and payload would excessively increase the takeoff weight and the wing load. www.luft46.com /prototyp/me264.html   (3547 words)

German Bombers of World War II The majority of Fw 200 Condors were assigned to Kampfgeschwader (bomber group) 40 based at Bordeaux-Mérignac in France from July 1940 to mid-1944. The Fw 200 was not stressed for military service, and many broke up at landing. This weapon was flown to the target by a pilot in a Bf 109 or FW 190 fighter plane attached to the top of an Ju 88 by releasable struts. www.ww2guide.com /germanb.shtml   (4517 words)
