Uploaded by 7dc on Apr 1, 2007
'The Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 Drache ("Dragon") was a helicopter developed by Germany during World War II. Noted for being the first helicopter to attain production status, Allied offensive actions limited production and approximately only 20 were actually produced. The aircraft was powered by a 1,000 horsepower radial engine (Bramo 323) which drove two, three-bladed 39 foot rotors, each mounted on twin booms on either side of the 40 foot long cylindrical fuselage. The aircraft was able to reach impressive speed, of up to 115 mph and heights of up to 23,000 feet...'

But of course it has low fear factor. You think American (The land of the brave and immortals) soldiers would be afraid of that?
Maybe it's because when americans see something they never saw before, they try to eat it.
This whole Top 10 list is crap. Aside from american helicopters, they threw a german, russian and british chopper from no.6 downwards

@1337soldiahs yeah I think that's it the Osprey with the moving rotors, yeah that's it.

You're probably referring to the V22 Osprey, the one that can tilt the rotors forward and turn into a plane.

Can you lot stop taking the piss out of German names?
For all you know your surname means "inbred" in German.
That's the Germans for you though; always innovating.
They pioneered jet fighters, helicopters, submarine wolfpack warfare, the 3 round burst, air independant propulsion & many other things... Don't really wanna fight them, frankly.

Fear factor was is low? is sixty years ahead of its time. There were almost no helicopters that the average soldiers would see. And it was nicknamed the dragon.
p.s. The show Dragontails had not been aired or created, so nobody would think that it may be a friendly dragon.
