Hello I'm new to this forum. I'm about to start college next August for mechanical engineering; I'm particularly looking to concentrate on aerospace engineering design especially in both aircraft design and spacecraft design. I don't really care to wait till sophomore or junior year to start learning actual stuff about aircraft design so I'm trying to learn on my own the basics of aircraft design. I really want to study aircraft designs and have already found several great websites for various aircraft such as the D.520, Fw-190, and Me-410, but there has been one aircraft I have been really struggling to find. I have scoured the internet for it including looking through the Bundesarchiv for it but have not found it.
The aircraft I'm looking for is the Fi-167 biplane torpedo bomber designed by Fieseler for the Graf Zeppelin-class. I was hoping someone might know where I can find detailed blueprints, a technical manual, or construction manual for the Fi-167 that I could study and possibly use to design a 3D CAD model for it. Any information, websites, or actual documents would be very helpful for me, but it would be preferable if they were in German or English, but any other language would be fine. The measurement system doesn't matter, I'll work with anything I'm given.
Eventually I'm hoping to have enough help and expertise; and money, to actually build the world's first full scale replica of it and only physical example of it since the few ones that were built were scrapped by Yugoslavia after the war. I know this second part borders on insanity, but it's just some added context to why I'm so fascinated with the Fi-167 in particular. Along with the fact I'm a big Kriegsmarine and Kaiserliche Marine fan, and find it depressing that Germany never actually fielded any actual aircraft carriers during the war.
Also totally unrelated, but does anyone know where I can find documents on the Pzl. 55 and 56. (The Fi-167 is more important for right now.)
