	Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau GmbH - ArtPolitic Encyclopedia of Politics : Information Portal
		Focke Wulf Flugzeugbau AG was a german manufacturer of military aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during World War II in which many of the most succesful fighter aircraft designs were slight modifications of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190.
		It employed the Focke Wulf men until President Juan Peron fell from power in 1955; then they dispersed, many to the United States, and Tank to work on supersonic aircraft in India.
		Focke Wulf formally merged with Weserflug in 1964, becoming Vereinigte Flugtechnische Werke (VFW).

		Seven weeks later, Focke began another series of tests and in seven days, Rohlfs broke every previous helicopter record—most of which were held by Bréguet craft.
		Focke's Fa 61 was far more maneuverable than Bréguet's aircraft and also could fly for extended periods of time.
		Focke and Achgelis built seventeen prototypes and one production version before the assembly line was bombed.

		Heinrich Focke, architect of famous aircraft builder Focke-Wulf, was one of the few to stay closer to home after the war - possibly a consequence of his dislike for the Nazi regime.
		Fockes criticism may also have led to the conspicuously low helicopter interest shown by Hitler's government.
		Focke's contemporary was Anton Flettner, who saw noticeably more success with his innovative intermeshing rotor design - later adopted by American Charles Kaman.

	Hanna Reitsch (1912-1979), Pioneer Aviatrix
		But when she confronted Heinrich Himmler with that, he made her believe he was as outraged as she was that the Allies would spread such propaganda.
		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.

		Heinrich Focke of the Focke-Wulf Company in Germany began his work on rotating-wing aircraft as early as 1933.
		Later, in early 1936, Focke and Gert Achgelis finally built and demonstrated a successful side-by-side, two-rotor machine, called the Fa-61.

		In the early thirties, Focke Wulf contracted with the Cierva firm to build under license C.19 and C.30 autogyros.
		In 1935, Focke designed and built a prototype of an autogyro which competed in the Luftwaffe contest to develop a utility and liaison aircraft.
		After the concept was established, Focke test flew a scale model of the design, and in 1934, this model achieved an altitude of 59 feet, which was equal to the altitude record for previous manned unsuccessful experimental helicopters.

	Focke Wulf FW-44 Argentino
		The most prolific design of Focke Wulf after the Fw-190 fighter, the Focke Wulf a-44 (Fw 44) Stieglitz (Finch) appeared in 1932, and its prototype flew for the first time by the end of the summer of that same year, with Gerd Achgelis to the controls.
		Driven by a radial engine Siemens Sh.14A of 140 HP, this trainer was a biplane of single section with fuselage of welded steel tubes and coated with fabric, had wings of wood with mixed coating of plywood and fabric.
		He was integrated to the company in November of 1931 coming from BFW, and was put at the top of the design and evaluations in flight departaments of Focke Wulf, when Heinrich Focke began to be centered in the study of autogyros.

		In her hands, it seemed to effortlessly float in any direction with complete command of the air, though given Reitsch's flying skills she probably could have performed aerobatics with a concrete block if it had been fitted with wings and an engine.
		While the Germans were pioneers in helicopter development and operations, the country's defeat in World War II meant that leadership in the postwar development of the field would pass to other countries, in particular the United States.
