Hi, in the book; Rotorcraft of the third Reich,they spoke about NR-53-I and NR-53-II,as they were an enclosed cockpit with undercarriage helicopters, which they remained only a projects,dis anyone hear about them or had a drawings to them ?.

In "Helicopters Of The Third Reich" by Steve Coates a German designer and constructor of helicopters is mentioned, who, contrary to Anton Flettner, Gerd Achgelis or Henrich Focke remained widely unknown : Walter Rieseler, born in 1890. He started to build his first helicopter in 1936 after...

The development of the Hs 293 is covered, too, in "Die Geschichte der Henschel-Flugzeugwerke AG 1933 - 45" by Horst Materna. A series of enlarged versions of the Hs 293A was the Hs 293C, for which different guiding systems were proposed. The C-4 was a pre-version of the later Hs 294 glide...

Hi, here is a comparison between BF.161-V2 and BF.162-V2.

Not being much of a German aircraft specialist, I find myself stuck trying to identify this strange little pusher bird... It may well be a Focke-Wulf project, but that's my only clue. I'm sure someone will be able to identify it soon and put me to shame! Thanks in advance for your help.

From "Der Flieger", August 1962, maybe interesting for one or two, as one-offs and projects are mentioned, too.

The MBI book on the Heinkel He 162 presents several contenders in the "Volksjäger" competition, including the Blohm & Voss P 211. Attached below are three-view arrangements of the two proposals described above.

Any pics of the Hu211? Are the wings typical Hutter with a very wide span? I might just try a profile having been prompted by Carlos. :) Many thanks Peter

The same as for the "EFo" series, again all pictures (in low res only) are from Wolfgang Wagners book "Hugo Junkers. Pionier der Luftfahrt - seine Flugzeuge" EF 50 maybe racer or record aircraft EF 53 4-engined long range passenger aircraft EF 55 used to measure the effects of...

In 1945 Heinkel began development of a bomber which was propelled by four jet engines. This bomber has the layout of the later Victor bomber used by the RAF, a delta wing with a T shaped tail. This bomber was capable to reach long distance targets I believe even targets into the US. I'm...

hi all

Hello....... Could someone please supply more info on this system? Its the TSA-D2 by Zeiss. Its an sight/computer that was tested on an Me 262 A2, date unknown. It was to be used in place of the Lofte 7D (?). The system was comprised of 3 primary components. The sight, a 'control computer'...

I have a very poor microfilm blueprint scan of the Blohm und Voss P.173.02 long range bomber. From what I can make out it is a six engined bomber that shares the wings and tail of the BV 238 seaplane. Does anyone have any good drawings or information on this project? I'll try to make as clean...

Well, Focke Wulf Ta-254 was project developed by Ta-154 ( originally denominated Ta-211) This prototipe was projected with Junkers Jumo 213E with 1750 Hp instead of Jumo 211F of 1340 hp of Ta-154V1 speed 678 km/h @ 10.000 metres - services ceiling 11500 ( on close up publications there was...

I have seen that there is some info about steam powered Me-264. But is there info about other projects like Ta-400? There should be a wind tunnel model ... http://www.luft46.com/prototyp/me264.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_264 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_400...

Hi folks, I couldn't find an existing one so here is a thread for and unknown, secret or rare Junkers Ju-87 variants. To start with here is a photo (albeit poor quality) of a Jumo 213E powered Ju-87. It was a trial installation on a Ju87B. Regards, Greg
