my grandfather (im swedish) lived in malmö (a city near denmark in sweden) when he grew up and he saw several Focke Wulf landing there when the end of the war was coming to an end by german pilots who were sick of fighting, sadly these machines were later scrapped :/
First imagine that it's 1943, now imagine it's blasting away with it's cannons, now imagine that there are explosions and people getting shot all around you, now ima- too late, it got ya
Nice looking. Oh, @KDAlove since you say we're being really accurate for historical purposes, why don't we shoot down all the allied planes besides the Focke Wulf if you want to be a dickhead stupid. (sick of political bullshit - Keep politics out of it KDAlove. I just want historical accurate markings) Any how like the FW190 better than the P-51 to those who differ each to their own. Spitfire and FW190 and 109's are my favourites. P-47 too is awesome.
Actually the Fw 190 shot down a lot more Allied planes over the years than the Allies did the Fw 190. Its called HISTORY. For fucks sake its OK to put the stars and bars, Soviet Star, Japanese Honomaru, or British tri-color but not OK for the swatstika? Holy fuck. Talk about wanting to just brush history under the table and believe it never happened...
For sure, but there isn't a D or a 152 flying... yet. I know Flugwerk's does have a Dora (powered by an Allison of all things) almost ready for flight testing in Florida...
The Florida D-9 example has never flown and it has been sold. The new owner plans to re-engine it with the correct Jumo 213 sometime in the future. Flugwerk completed 3 Dora fuselages and one of these is being used for a second D-9 project. I'm not sure of the fate of the last D-9 though it may have been kept by Flugwerk.
The engine was run up on it, there is a great HD video of it on YouTube of course. I didn't think it flew yet. I honestly don't know why they would bother to fly one with the Jumo 213. There are almost none in any type of condition to fly, and the 213's were not the best built engines due to the war conditions at the time. Still big props to Flugwerks for what they have done so far with the Fw 190!
Several Jumo 213s are under restoration for future flight by the same workshop that completed the BMW for Allen's Fw190 (and another for a different Fw190 project.) While the engines are VERY rare, some do exist in private collections or stored at museums. Finding NOS parts and making the missing parts for them is horribly expensive.
porque nunca se les puede ver maniobrando a velocidades minimas de combate, la gente piensa que eran ladrillos con alas, pocos saben que solian combatir minimo a 500km/h, en ese regimen si que son buenos maniobrando
Neither. This is one of a production run of replicas that were modified to install a Russian/Chinese ASh-82 engine that is similar in power and size as the very rare BMW engines. One buyer has installed an R-2800 in his replica instead. The one in the video above suffered a prop failure and went down in water last year. It was recovered and is being rebuilt.
There aren't that many original German engines left around and for the few that are operational, the owners have resorted to buying several to get enough parts to build a good one. Missing parts are also custom made and this can get very expensive. The concept for a run of new production Fw190s was lower costs for repair and maintenance for potential buyers. The Russian/Chinese engine was a good match because it's relatively plentiful with a good supply of parts.
@singningwongho: I personally prefer the Hawker Hurricane 1A from that era but yes, the Focke is nicer than the Zero and probably the best looking aircraft introduced after the Battle Of Britain.
@AccordGTR the guns are synchronized and fire through the prop blades on the FW190. 4 Blades would adversely effect the rate of fire. The mustang and spit fire from the wings.
@AccordGTR they were woodcarved paddle props = more efektive in the thin air up by the bombers ..rawnukles are right too 4 blades would slow down the fire rate..the ME109 had a steel prop thin blades much like the spits.thats also why the me109 was used by the sondercommando too ram enemy bombers at the end of the war... the steel prop cuts right trough the tail of a bomber the fw190 was a much better more balanced plane then the ME the final version the TA152 was the ultimate ww2 prop fighter
@lulu8332 the last FW190 the TA152 had longer wingspand a 25cm piece incerted i front of the tail the engine from the ju 88 = much longer nose think it was dobbelt inverted inline 10cyl gave the plane ALOT more power compared to the BMW from the 190 A4-A8 the bmw could take alot more damage (it could loose 1 or even 2 cylindre and still make it home cource it was air cooled...imagine what would had happend if they made the TA152 in 43? bye bye bombers.. iam a plane nut iam sorry
Magic! It's crazy cool that these machines have so much mindshare that they're actually built new these days. Is this one of Flug-Werk's replicas? In that case it has an ASch 82T engine. +200hp more than the original, as well as >half a ton lighter airframe (no armament or armor).
Like it or not you have to agree that this plane is a living legend and its great to see it flying and with so few of these planes left we must try and preserve the few thats left
@PropperJ that may be - it took a gadzillion tons of bombs and two especially big ones, dropped on a lot of civilian targets to win the war. My heroes!
@Nihilist13 Your heroes started the war the brave luftwaffe bombed Guernica when no war was declared, the final solution, rape of Nanking, need I go on, Viva to allied bomber crews the real heroes of WW2
@jers59 Really? The Kool Aid taste good? Build a time line from 1871 (unification of Germany under Bismarck) and perhaps you may change your mind. Always good to sort truth from propaganda - it continues to today, our much vaunted Keynesian economic system in a shambles too. I hope you understand who the real beneficiaries of the wars were/are and always will be.
No, this is a full size replica with a substitute engine to replace the rare BMW and one of 20 (or 21) from a new production run. You are thinking of the W.A.R. scale replicas, of which some are flying. Only one genuine wartime Fw190 now flies with the BMW, and a second restoration will complete in the future.
what a rare, great looking plane! mr kurt tank did well, with his enngineering staff, and all the most excellent sheetmetal, fabricators and tool makers they surely had in place.
@TheVeneth Dude... it was just a little joke. Damn I know people have done a lot of good things (Bad things too) but well, that was just a way to express that planes are incredible. Sorry if somehow my comment hurted you or something, but I don't see nothing bad in it.
@Strixlord I didnt mean anything wrong by that either.. I just feel that toasted bread is one of the worst things that humans ever invented.. xD basicly bastardised the real bread.. For example in the UK people doesnt even know what the real bread is and call it to toast bread which has been created essentially for toasters.. I cannot say that I hate toasts, but it is not bread.. toast is toast and bread is bread.. two different things.. maybe I was just a bit overreacting.. sorry about that..
This aircraft is a new-build replica, one of 21 new airframes available for sale. Paul Allens Fw190 is WWII original, including the airframe. Another BMW-powered Fw190 is being restored in the US for flight in the future.
Not at all...whenever I see or hear war birds...I become totally overwhelmed and damn near start crying with joy......jets are cool, but there is just something so overpowering about piston engined planes that is hard to describe.
@88ratjake69 not weird at all... you just felt the power of the best WW2 prop fighter imagine how the brits seeing them comming at them felt....there was a reason why the brits called it "the butcher bird" and that was just the first version the FW190A4 (and they still had alot of engine truble) at that time. first war plane with elektric control surfaces rudder/elevators/etc the bedst handling of any WW2 prop fighter and it would go one to be the fastest WW2 prop fighter (in the TA152 version)
@lulu8332 .. ok! we get it!! LOL the 152 could 'shoot down a B17 & then fold the pilot's laundry after landing'.. Message recieved..
but the intial designs that faced each other were a much closer match, & had their individual strengths & weaknesses.. even the hawkers could give them a run at med to low alts.. but the A4 was a beast!, & a beauty as well..
were the controlls electro-hydraulic?? & if not then how big was the generator?? electric vs. hydraulic.. Hmm..
The Ta152 reverted back to hydraulic flaps and gear retract motors while the Fw190 had electrically operated ones. Pilots complained of poor hydraulic operation, most likely from late war build quality. I believe the control linkages would be pushrod just like on the Fw190, which was more durable than control cables found on Allied aircraft. There is some debate whether the Ta152 had electric aileron boost and many the NASM restoration will reveal that in the near future.
@lulu8332 Probably the reason why the Brits called the FW190 "the butcher bird" is because the Germans nicknamed it "Würger" which is "shrike" in English. Check the feeding habits of that nice little bird to know where the brit nick came from... :)
The do have a new-build P-51 project called the AP-51 Palomino, but I don't believe they have completed any yet. It is basically a structural kit to build a Mustang (buyers supply engine and other parts), but they call it the AP-51 so that parts and airframes cannot be type-certified as P-51s. They've made improvements, replacing many cast parts with CNC machined parts for better strength.
Ditched in salt water after prop failure. Recovered and in Germany getting rebuilt for a new owner. Details on changes for new build have not been given, but rebuild is expected to take 3 years.
No. The Fw190C was a prototype equipped with a DB603 V12 and it remained as a test aircraft only. The Fw190D was fitted with a Jumo 213 V12 and saw combat at the end of '44 and into '45. Late-war versions of the D version (D-14, D-15) also had the DB603 V12, but few if any were ever constructed.
@dj8work I thought she looked a bit twitchy in some of the shots also. But I guess that's one of the things which helped make it such a succesful fighter.
Pilot Steve Hinton test flew the original Fw190 that is currently under restoration and said it was very responsive and fast, and that it lived up to what the history books said. Wartime Allied pilots who got to fly captured examples thought it was a delightful aircraft to fly as well.
@FiveCentsPlease Being twitch and slightly unstable is all to the good for a fighter aircarft. The last thing you want is an aircraft which is stable and stodgy and has to be dragged through manouveres. What a fighter pilot needs is an aircraft which will do a loop when he twitches an eyebrow. My comment about the FW 190 was not a slur - far from it - twitchyness is one of the things which may have made it such a good fighter aircraft.
The engine choice for the new owner hasn't been finalized yet, but building it as a D model would be very nice. They are currently disassembling the aircraft for repairs. Meiers is building a D for another client but that work has not even started yet.
No, not original engine. One of eventually 20 new-build replicas with an ASh-82 engine to make them more affordable for buyers since the BMW engines are so rare. The ASh-82 is a good replacement. Two WWII originals are almost done with restoration, one to be in the air by next year if all goes well.
Duxford is correct, not a German engine but Russian. Not to worry, since some new aircraft with the correct German hardware under the hood are coming soon-some projects are nearly done and others are just getting started.
Very best prop fighter of that war.

@88ratjake69 not weird at all... you just felt the power of the best WW2 prop fighter imagine how the brits seeing them comming at them felt....there was a reason why the brits called it "the butcher bird" and that was just the first version the FW190A4 (and they still had alot of engine truble) at that time. first war plane with elektric control surfaces rudder/elevators/etc the bedst handling of any WW2 prop fighter and it would go one to be the fastest WW2 prop fighter (in the TA152 version)

@lulu8332 .. ok! we get it!! LOL the 152 could 'shoot down a B17 & then fold the pilot's laundry after landing'.. Message recieved..
but the intial designs that faced each other were a much closer match, & had their individual strengths & weaknesses.. even the hawkers could give them a run at med to low alts.. but the A4 was a beast!, & a beauty as well..
were the controlls electro-hydraulic?? & if not then how big was the generator?? electric vs. hydraulic.. Hmm..
weight vs. durability..
thanx!

The Ta152 reverted back to hydraulic flaps and gear retract motors while the Fw190 had electrically operated ones. Pilots complained of poor hydraulic operation, most likely from late war build quality. I believe the control linkages would be pushrod just like on the Fw190, which was more durable than control cables found on Allied aircraft. There is some debate whether the Ta152 had electric aileron boost and many the NASM restoration will reveal that in the near future.

@lulu8332 Probably the reason why the Brits called the FW190 "the butcher bird" is because the Germans nicknamed it "Würger" which is "shrike" in English. Check the feeding habits of that nice little bird to know where the brit nick came from... :)

@james257wby
The do have a new-build P-51 project called the AP-51 Palomino, but I don't believe they have completed any yet. It is basically a structural kit to build a Mustang (buyers supply engine and other parts), but they call it the AP-51 so that parts and airframes cannot be type-certified as P-51s. They've made improvements, replacing many cast parts with CNC machined parts for better strength.

@albertsauce
Because this replica uses the same Russian-designed ASh-82 engine as the Ilyushin Il-12.
Wait a few months and there may be video of an authentic Fw190 in flight. The owner has not released any flight video to the public yet.

Ditched in salt water after prop failure. Recovered and in Germany getting rebuilt for a new owner. Details on changes for new build have not been given, but rebuild is expected to take 3 years.

No. The Fw190C was a prototype equipped with a DB603 V12 and it remained as a test aircraft only. The Fw190D was fitted with a Jumo 213 V12 and saw combat at the end of '44 and into '45. Late-war versions of the D version (D-14, D-15) also had the DB603 V12, but few if any were ever constructed.

is it me or does she look a bit twitchy while flying
dj8work 1 year ago
@dj8work I thought she looked a bit twitchy in some of the shots also. But I guess that's one of the things which helped make it such a succesful fighter.
Erictheirritated 1 year ago
@Erictheirritated
Pilot Steve Hinton test flew the original Fw190 that is currently under restoration and said it was very responsive and fast, and that it lived up to what the history books said. Wartime Allied pilots who got to fly captured examples thought it was a delightful aircraft to fly as well.
FiveCentsPlease 1 year ago
@FiveCentsPlease Being twitch and slightly unstable is all to the good for a fighter aircarft. The last thing you want is an aircraft which is stable and stodgy and has to be dragged through manouveres. What a fighter pilot needs is an aircraft which will do a loop when he twitches an eyebrow. My comment about the FW 190 was not a slur - far from it - twitchyness is one of the things which may have made it such a good fighter aircraft.

@dj8work Best roll rate of any fighter in WW2. The more maneuverable you make a plane, the more unstable it becomes.

The engine choice for the new owner hasn't been finalized yet, but building it as a D model would be very nice. They are currently disassembling the aircraft for repairs. Meiers is building a D for another client but that work has not even started yet.

@Bagheera2
No, not original engine. One of eventually 20 new-build replicas with an ASh-82 engine to make them more affordable for buyers since the BMW engines are so rare. The ASh-82 is a good replacement. Two WWII originals are almost done with restoration, one to be in the air by next year if all goes well.

Duxford is correct, not a German engine but Russian. Not to worry, since some new aircraft with the correct German hardware under the hood are coming soon-some projects are nearly done and others are just getting started.
