Focke Wulf FW-190A/N - Luftwaffe Fighter 

Thanks, I was wondering what that meant

Thanks. I guess it's fitting, for the following reasons: -when it was first encountered in the war, it came as a nasty surprise to the British -it's sturdy -hits like a truck (hence the nickname "Butcher Bird") There could be more. These two are the first ones to come up.

it´s also the name of a rather notorious and forbidden Nazi band

"Im Stahlgewitter" is a famous novel about his experience as a 19 year ord soldier in ww1 by Ernst Junger.

Are you serious?

Schubert Jorg, it's a nice plane but the swastika is a different story.

@@alexzander1839 Its a Marking on the plane from that era , I’m sure no one is implying that it means anything other .It doesn’t even warrant a second glance ,

Respekt!

Swastika is an Aryan insignia. And is thousands of years old. The NAZI's used it for their purpose. It has been used by Indians having Aryan descent for millenniums. Seperate the insignia from the NAZIs.

It had great performance but I think the spitfire, the 109, the p51, or the p 38 were much better looking. Just my 2 cents.

Laughs in B-17

@@marksummers463 Spitfire, any mark, gets my vote. For axis fighters, to me, nothing beats the a6m zero. I know it doesn't have the power of a fw190 but it was just such a perfect airplane. I quite like several of the Italian fighters too for looks but the FW190A is up there. I don't like the D, dora, version for looks as much for some reason.....

What about the Russian yak 3

Spitfire Mk

Update: It was back in the air for Classic Fighters Omaka 2019.

the hawker typhoon was a lot better than the 190 in a dive and turning and the later models carried 4 hispanos.

Its MAGIC the typhoon was not a multirole fighter, it was used as a ground attack aircraft after it was discovered it was a terrible dogfighter and had poor mid and high level performance. the typhoon was better in a dive, pending it didn't break apart. (do research on their tail problems). Also, the Typhoon pilot had to always be on oxygen as carbon monoxide would seep into the cockpit, this problem was never resolved. (bad, bad, bad design feature) Turning, different story. the FW-190 was a lot better at mid and high altitudes, below 10,000 feet they were about the same. Controls at high speed for the Typhoon were not pilot friendly, they were quite heavy, so it took a good pilot to fly it well. many called it a "beast" to fly. The FW-190 on the other hand had very light controls thanks to them being electrically assisted (the first fighter to feature this). the original typhoons equipped with 12 .303 MG's were withdrawn almost immediately in favor of the 4x20mm set up. FW-190's had a 4x20mm + 2x 7.92/13mm MG setup for many of the variants. www.warbird.info/#!hawker-typhoon/c193y The Typhoon was not a good fighter at all, which is why they were used almost exclusively as ground attack aircraft. around 3,000 were made during WWII and they are only credited with 249 air to air victories. to put that into perspective, there are individual FW-190 pilots with more victories than the entire RAF's typhoon pilots. it really comes into perspective when you look at the USAF's 'multirole' P-47 had over 3,700 air to air victories in Europe. the Typhoon was a specialized low altitude plane, it was originally designed as a high altitude bomber interceptor, which it was a failure at. (the wing was too thick and the design did not lend to high altitude performance of any kind, I don't know what the designer was thinking...) the P-47 on the other hand was a true multirole, like the FW-190 variants in that it performed well at all altitudes and for the tasks it was given. all that said, the Typhoon was a great ground attack aircraft and was invaluable for the allies and the Tempest later resolved many of the Typhoon's shortcomings.

Ben Wieben Explain to me in what way the 190 was a multi-role fighter but the P-38 was not.

antred11 never said anything about the P-38 not being multi role. the P-38 is not in the same classification of aircraft as the FW-190 or P-47 in that the P-38 is classed as a heavy fighter. The FW-190 and P-47 are classed as fighters. I could see you being nit-picky regarding perhaps that the P-38 prototype flew before the FW-190 prototype, too which I'd respond, the BF-110 which was designed for the same role as the P-38 (heavy fighter) first flew 3 years prior to the P-38 ever flying. The BF-110 was also multi-role and an all altitude aircraft as well.

WHY ?

Give up your socialist government of yours and taxation of your people and let free market and capitalism rule and you’ll have the money to build or restore Aircraft such as that! But you don’t want to give up that socialism do you and that Government healthcare and Government retirement Too Bad! 😆

Why do you hate to say it ? Nothing wrong with building the model.

+Matt Robinson There different service intervals for each engine. For the Merlin engine, it has been used continuously since the war and has had many improvements which increased the service interval to over 700 hours. If the engine is used heavily in aggressive air show flying, it may new overhaul sooner than 700 hours. The Me-109 engine is the same as the wartime specs with service items required every 100, 200, and 600 hours, which on a rare engine with few parts available can get very expensive. Perhaps over time the Me-109 engines will see improvements also. I think is is roughly similar to the BMW radial engine. However, the ASh-82 radial used on the replicas was still in production until the 1970s and I think the newer TBO overhaul hours is up to 1200 hours now..

One Do-17 is now in restoration for museum display. (Well conservation not restoration so they aren't going to add new material. ) But it would be a unique opportunity to get accurate engineering measurements to build another example.

yep... and fly it over Guernica...

it was used as a bomber interceptor 4 mg151's could tear any bomber up in seconds.

Aptly earning the "Butcher Bird" nick name.

Its engine was fantastically advanced for its time. It had an automatic control system (basically a mechanical computer) which regulated boost pressure, propeller pitch, fuel mixture, ignition timing and managed the supercharger gear changes in order to reduce pilot workload. It was a true single control engine.

+Robert Walters darum würger :)

+Robert Walters und bevor was sagst is der Spitzname

Robert Walters You try finding one today. There aren’t any. Besides, the ASh-82 is more reliable and less prone to catching fire.

Yes, the track is very wide when you look at other aircraft like the Spitfire and 109!

It sure is!

Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim

Glad you enjoyed it

+Machine Gun Nest Erased what? A replica Fw-190 constructed in Romania with an engine designed by the Russians and manufactured by the Chinese? The only thing from WW2 in that plane is the tail wheel assembly.

@@FiveCentsPlease oh giggle well then that tail assembly would have crashed alot of planes when i took them away .. chuckle

When taxing he has to weave left and right. When taking off he has to look left and right until the nose comes up.

@@HistAvFilmUnit Thanks 4 the explanation however it would be not easy to do it on narrow tarmac , just 4 bold & experienced , th again Zbyszek

Richard Joganah Amen. love them all. But, prefer the Dora, and Ta variants.

The Dora, hands down!

in the end it was "owned" by mustangs,thunderbolts and spitfires... even soviet la-7 outperformed it.

that depends on the model , it was one of the top dogs for a while. spitfire has for example has well over 20 variations (from 1940-1945). you can't compare any plane unless u look at what variation it was. There was no "best plane". stop trolling.

262? maybe the best piston plane

@@stix_0910 Korovanow(not You) has right,The best spitfire was much weaker than focke wulf.At the end of war fw has about twoo thousand horse power(it was rekord)This engine was double star-made by bmw!(car factory).

Best single engine piston fighter of a World War Two was the P-51 Mustang! When the Germans saw mustangs they jettison their canopies and bailed! Sorry Fritz! 😆

Late war Fw190 were fitted with both wooden propellers and metal ones. The modern FlugWerk Fw190 replicas like the one in the video are using a new wood/composite propeller that looks original and is made by MT Propeller.

Yes, but most owners do not conduct many cross-country flights due to the wear and tear on the aircraft. Engine overhauls and fuel consumption are VERY expensive for the WW2 aircraft. Major flying museums such as the CAF and Collings Foundation do travel with their aircraft across the US every year.

Yes, one of the new ones.

109 ftw than spit for me

Noel Mintern the engine is not original in this plane. it's a soviet engine, not a german. maybe you hear that. lol

BMWM3GTRLOVER New-build Flugwerk with the ASh-82.

It is no restoration but a totally new aircraft, the N in A8/N stands for Nachbau or replica in english. There are some A8/N's from Flugwerk in the US and the original one is at the FHC.

WrUSasu well damn, sure fooled me. Some nice work. Thanx.

saburu sakai The Flugwerk Fw190s was an interesting aviation project to build Fw190 replicas and offer them to buyers in semi-kit form. They are patterned after the A-8 but a few changes were made, including adapting the aircraft to an affordable Russian/Chinese engine to replace the very rare BMWs. Kit form allowed a lower purchase cost and lower insurance costs for the buyers, who have to complete much of the wiring, plumbing, controls, avionics, and final assembly. The project initially started with 12 new Fw190s, but increased production to 21 airframes. Only a few are currently flying and the entire project and inventory were sold off recently. They are not 100% accurate, but are as close as owners can get without finding a rare genuine example to restore. There is currently only ONE original Fw190 in flying condition in the US, with another flying original just a few years from complete.

FiveCentsPlease thanx for that info. I did not know that the kits were that popular, or were totally new AC. The BMW engine sure as blazes is not practical to maintain. I hope I get to see one fly sometime.

***** haha you totally rekt him xD

...How about The Ta 152 vs the Mustang..?

+Carlos Krueger FW 190s were effective against bombers due to the high caliber armament, but in 1v1 the mustang might be able to win more easily

An awesome fighter it was...I have the model of the Ta -152...Lovely aircraft...

Galland describes flying the Me 262 through enemy (allied) fighters was like they were balloons hanging in the air lol.

runner4life1984 P-51 turn the tide? No. :) The Spitfire IX was a good encounter to the fw-s from 1942 way before the mustangs.

+Balázs Jávor Look up how many Spitfires were lost to F-w-190 at the Dieppe disaster in 1942. Except for recon models, the Spitfire had no range.

Yeah, they were lost because the 190 were superior to the mk V. But weren't superior to the mk IX.

@@rampking1 , exactly. The FW 190 outclassed the Spitfire V in nearly all flight peramators . The D Dora version was as good or better than the P-51 Mustang according to german pilots who flew them.

The 109 was the high-performance racehorse of the Luftwaffe, while the 190 was the rugged and reliable workhorse. Both have their merits, but I'd lean more on the 190. There's a video briefly showing that German ace Gunther Rall comparing the 109 and the 190. It's here somewhere in RU-vid.

+ConfederacyCSA A Stuka is a difficult and challenging project, but a flying example has finally been announced by a museum in the US. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d7aDqVkK3Ag.html
