Fw 200 Condor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Condor could also carry bombs or mines to be used against shipping and it was claimed that from June 1940 to February 1941 they sank 365,000 tons. After late 1943 the Condor came to be used solely as a transport aircraft. To adapt it for wartime, hard-points were added on the wings for bombs, the fuselage was extended and strengthened to create more space and front, aft and dorsal gun positions were added. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Focke-Wulf_Condor

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a single-seater, single-engine fighter aircraft of the Luftwaffe, and one of the best fighters of its generation. After the 'D' later variants of the 190 were named 'Ta' in honour of Focke-Wulf designer Kurt Tank. The BMW 139 finally was canceled, and the Fw 190 employed the 14 cylinder BMW 801 instead. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_190

WW2 Warbirds: the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor - Frans Bonné WW2 Warbirds: the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor - Frans Bonné Deliveries of the military Condor amounted to 262 aircraft (10 in 1939, 26 in 1940, 58 in 1941, 84 in 1942, 76 in 1944 and eight in 1944), and these were supplemented by four impressed Fw 200B airliners. A few Condors remained operational to the last days of the war, in the end mostly being converted and used as transports. www.xs4all.nl /~fbonne/warbirds/ww2htmls/fockfw200.html

Focke-Wulf 190 The Focke-Wulf 190 was designed by Kurt Tank, and was a nasty surprise to the RAF in September 1941. The FW 190 was known as a "pilots airplane," meaning she was a sweet ship to fly, light and easy on the controls (unlike the Bf 109, which was a handful). In all, nearly 20,000 FW 190 aircraft of all types were completed by the end of the war, and the type was used by the air forces of Turkey, France (as the NC 900), and various of Germany's allies as well as the Luftwaffe. www.chuckhawks.com /focke-wulf_190.htm

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 served as single-seat fighter, ground-attack aircraft and even nightfighter between 1941 and 1945. The Fw 190 had an excellently installed BMW 801Dg two-row radial engine, which was in excess since most German aircraft used in-line engines. The Fw 190 first saw action against Spitfires of the RAF in spring 1941. www.geocities.com /pentagon/2833/luftwaffe/fighter/fw190/fw190.html

fw200.html It made its maiden flight in summer 1937, and the Fw-200B production series was in service with Lufthansa by late 1938. The outbreak of WW2 saw Lufthansa's Fw-200B Condors conscripted into the Luftwaffe as transports, and its long range led interest in it as a general long-range reconnaisance-bomber, eventually becoming the Fw-200C. It had a gondola under the fuselage, in which gun positions were placed fore and aft, and the bomb sight also being at the fore. www.compsoc.man.ac.uk /~wingman/fw200.html   (608 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. As with the Bf 109, subvariants and modifications to the Fw 190 were numerous and identifying all of them would require a level of detail beyond the scope of this web site. www.acepilots.com /german/fw190.html   (608 words)

Focke Wulf 190 - Great Planes - Flight Journal Magazine The design of the Focke-Wulf 190 began in 1937 as a backup to the Messerschmitt 109 that had been selected as the standard German fighter. Improved versions of the Fw 190 were tested with such features as cabin pressurization and a water/methanol injection that increased the normal 1,600hp of the engine to 2,100hp for brief periods. Although it was designed as a fighter, the Fw 190 was readily adaptable to many other missions. www.flightjournal.com /FJ/plane_profiles/fw-190/fw_190.asp   (608 words)

Focke Wulf FW-190 40 ARF Known as the "Wurger" (aka Butcher Bird) it was heavily armed with four 20mm cannons in the wings and a 30mm cannon in the spinner.

Focke-Wulf 190F Designated Fw 190 officially but called Würger (Butcher Bird) in the field, the new design was the only German fighter of World War II that flew behind a radial engine. The basic Fw 190 design also led to the advanced Ta 152H high-altitude interceptor that entered limited service during the spring of 1945. hen the first prototype, designated Fw 190 V1, took to the air on its maiden flight on June 1, 1939, experienced test pilot Flugkapitän Hans Sander was at the controls. www.nasm.si.edu /research/aero/aircraft/focke_190f.htm   (608 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 In this series the wing from the Fw 190 A-6 plane was applied as standard and underwing shackles for fuel tanks were replaced by similar ETC 501 V.Fw Trg (Verkleideter Focke-Wulf Trager) bomb racks. The Focke-Wulf 190 was known as one of the best fighters during the Second World War. Designed by Dr. Kurt Tank, the Fw 190 was built as a sturdy all-round fighter, rather than a lightweight interceptor; but the early Fw 190A's nevertheless proved clearly superior to the Spitfire Mk.V. The Fw 190 was a better fighter than the Bf 109, except at high altitude. home.iae.nl /users/wbergmns/info/fw190.htm   (608 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 189 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Focke-Wulf Fw 189 Uhu (Eagle Owl) was a twin-engine twin-boom three seat tactical reconnaissance and army cooperation aircraft. It first flew in 1938 (Fw 189V1), entered service in 1940, and was produced until mid-1944. There was a ground attack variant Fw 189C conceived, but its two prototypes V1b and V6 were not satisfactory, and it was not produced. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_189   (164 words)

Focke-Wulf Fw 187 Falcon Remarks from Chris Pinn : "The Focke-Wulf 187 was originally designed as a single seat fighter along similar lines as aircraft such as the Westland Whirlwind. As the Bf 110 had better performance as well as a rearward firing gun, production of the FW 187 was stopped after only three production aircraft had been built. It was then modified to compete with the Messerschmitt Bf 110 by changing it to a two seat 'Zerstörer' configuration. www.1000aircraftphotos.com /APS/2098.htm   (164 words)

Focke-Wulf Ta 152 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 was a WW2 Luftwaffe high-altitude interceptor fighter. The Ta 152 was a development of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 aircraft, but the prefix was changed from 'Fw' to 'Ta' in honor of Kurt Tank who headed the design team. The Ta 152H was among the fastest prop-fighters of the war, capable of speeds up to 755 km/h (472 mph) at 13 500 m (41000 feet)(using the GM-1 boost) and 560 km/h (350 mph) at sea level (using the MW-50 boost). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_152   (867 words)

Focke-Wulf Ta 152 The first of 20 pre-production Ta 152H-0 aircraft flew in October 1944 and these, built at Focke-Wulf's Cottbus factory, were mostly rebuilt from Fw 190A-1 airframes and powered by the Jumo 213E engine with an MW-50 water-methanol injection system. The Ta 152C-3 was identical to the Ta 152C-2 with the exception that the MK 108 cannon was replaced with a MK 103 cannon. The Ta 152H-1 was armed with one engine-mounted 30 mm MK 108 cannon with 90 rounds and two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon in the wings with 175 rpg. www.kotfsc.com /aviation/ta-152.htm   (1754 words)
