The Failures Behind the Fw 190 

Hey new fan as of January 2020. In your video of the FW 190 at a museum I noticed a Heinkel 111 in the background. How much will I have to pay on pateron for you to ask the museum to do an inside the cockpit of that aircraft and build of the plane? Thanks.

Great work..., couple of remarks, "drawing office" not room, "head above water" not over water...or "kept in the black".

I have a (humble) suggestion for you: Would it be possible for you to make a couple of videos about the history of the various German Airplane Manufacturing Companies? Many people talk about some of their plane models, but the personal and institutional history behind these models is also very interesting (yet often glossed over). Junkers for example: Hugo Junkers was one of the most important pioneers of airplane engineering and the history of the company doesn't just end in 1945. The forced exile of the Junkers engineers in the Soviet Union, their work for the Soviet Military and their influence on the (short lived) airplane industry of the GDR (Type 152, Pirna Jet Engines) is most interesting in my opinion, but not exactly well known.

Was german aircraft radial engine developement a failure in the end if compared to innovations and solutions americans, japanese and soviets came up with for their designs to both increase performance and simplify the designs?

@@Galland_ That's fantastic! Although according to wiki that phrase was coined in 2009, but still great.

Galland we’ve had several "Kevinistic" riots here in BC, (Canada). Then-in a move reminiscent of something "ol' 'dolph Hitler" might’ve made, the Kevinists made a surprise 90° turn to California and or successful in their invasion of, primarily, Los Angeles and the Beverly Hills district in particular. The last I heard, this gang formed a dancing group and were performing in theatrical plays, and winning praise for it! The world works in mysterious ways, "Herr Galland".

Adolf Kevin !!

Hey Kevins a great guy and a great pilot. If you dont believe me go check out Blitz's channel hes a big fan of Kevin!

I used to know a man who was a keen football player and started his own team so he could get a game. Unfortunately his skills did not match his enthusiasm and the team dropped him

This sounds like something Elon Musk would do in his situation

Also the first production one, look for Fa 223 Drache.

​@Jimmy De'Souza In what way is that buying into his personality cult? I hate celebrities(esp business ones) by default yet pretending he's not capable of some crazy stuff is just silly possibly pretentious. Also great life tactic dude, please do go around acting like you are the only one who knows anything about anything and sucking fun out of room.

@@freddekl1102 I forgivee ue

Thank John. Appreciate the support and happy to hear you enjoy the videos!

Ability Damage can’t dispute that, but they are are fun to fly..I learned on one..

how’d u get that symbol on ur name

Estonian Shark i see, thanks

The only thing they didn't had

@@SlocketSeven Kevin was his identical twin brother which is where the confusion comes from. Of course with a name like Bruce he was clearly Australian

100% Australian if the name is Bruce

"damnit kevin, its all your fault we lost the war!"

Fear Kevin. The Dislikes are from Kevins that don’t like it that the secret is now out.

Iirc there is one currently under restoration

In a war that would be the damn least of their concerns

Lufthansa Technik has one and is working on making it fully airworthy, as a spiritual replacement for their now grounded JU-87.

@@mikeblatzheim2797 JU 52, I think it is..

@@noahwail2444 Yes, that.

Just so - What Chris has done here is, in its way, quite brilliant. 💥 Loads of 'Techno-porn' (here is the motor stripped down, these are the raw perfomance figures....) exist. But to narrate the evolution in this way - That's both unusual and intriguing 💥 EXCEPT for that bit with three dismbodied heads trampolining under the Fw 159 That, well, that wasn't

there was no fighting in africa in 1945. and when Africa had fighting it was the main theatre for the nations using P-40 and Hurricanes.

It was also strong contrast to other German engineers who designed finely crafted, powerful machines which spent all their time in heated repair bay being pampered by team of experts. If they got out they were better than anything else and they never got out. FW-190 was direct opposition to that.

Here lies a comment from probably the best channel on RU-vid.

Matthew McKellar. Agreed and very lucky to still have a job in the aviation industry. However Bismarck right up there and excellent video on Focke-Wulf. Can’t wait for the Fw200 video and hope he mentions the restoration work in Bremen and Hamburg of the sole remaining aircraft.

Did you watch it yet? Amazing channel, much appreciation!

I've seen Greg film in Germany from time to time- what happens if these two meet?

who is kevin?

would like but the count is at 69

All of them before the 190 look like tryouts for vulture squadron!

But without the "What If"s nobody would bother examining history in the first place... Divergence is a wonderful thing, it allows one to go back over the histories and pick places in time that would have resulted in a different world. Sadly though, Serbia and Austria were going to have a war either way, the only difference size of the stage and the actors performing their roles, as well as the official date of what most likely would have still been World War One. Also, incidently I disagree with the World War titles as there have been plenty of large scale wars that happened on multiple fronts and they've never been listed as World War, so why should what we call World War One and Two be named as such?

Thats called religious fanaticism in churches ... and is frowned upon even there... why the is that behaviour encouraged in shools...

@@Feiora I agree with you that WW1 would have happened if the assassination hadn't happened but I cannot think of any other wars that included every continent except Antarctica. Also, most countries were involved, even if they claimed to be neutral.

@@bartfoster1311 Well it depends on when and where and what and who was involved, if we judge World War as requiring every single continent then to some degree all wars are World Wars on the basis that the hostile parties had to cross oceans to get at each other. Then there's the subset of culture and philosophy, but that's something for another day when I'm more awake. For now though think on this, what exactly are the parameters for the World War designation? Does it mean enlisting foreign nations and their fighting men and women to battle your opponent? If that's the case the American Revolution was a "World War" as both sides had foreign forces involved, and these foreign forces had to cross an ocean to reach the battlefield... Also, by this definition, the Crusades could be considered "World Wars" even if only a part of the forces traveled by ship while the rest went by land... And there are more wars that fit that definition, but I'm going to stop here to see what your reply is.

The Ta 152 used about 57% Fw 190 parts. Some parts developed for the Ta 152, such as an enlarged tail were reintroduced into some Fw 190D. The speed limitation of the Fw 190A series above about 24000ft was that the BMW 801D engine only had a single stage non inter cooled super charger. The solution was the BMW 801R which had a two stage 4 speed inter cooled supercharger. It was to be fitted to a varian of the Ta 152C but bombing destroyed BMWs plans of producing the engine and hence the Ta 152 had to rely on the Jumo 213 or DB603.

Ah yes, the plane that had wings wider than the distance between the earth and the sun

@@erojerisiz1571 did you mean longer?

Agreed. Creative production and editing made what could have been very dry into enjoyable and easy to take in. High standard of work indeed.

This format is far more riveting than the diagram expo.

Thank you

The specifications for the aircraft was for a type that could be transported by rail the wings being removable made the 109 prone to fail in a high g turn. The comparison between spitfire and 109 in turning ability, the 109 should have been able to out turn the spit but german pilots were reluctant to test the.wings.strength. The narrow undercarriage was a major problem for the 109 losing pilot's and planes in accidents at the same rate as combat.The 109 had a big advantage over other fighters in maintenance you could replace the Db601 in an hour a spit or mustang was a long day for the ground crew to swap engines.

The Me-109G was rated to 13Gs absolute limit, and never broke. The P-51 was rated only 12Gs despite non-detachable wings, and broke them off frequently (or it’s tail)... The 109 was among the strongest, and the trim tail allowed faster high speed pull-outs than even the P-51 when trimmed tail heavy in advance.

How many did you build yet?

@@MilitaryAviationHistory not enough but appx 10 in stock

SA-Kuva is great archive, I love to explore it.

And the planes falling out of the sky crash Into their ships which causes the whole fleet to be lost

I believe he did a special on the long nose FW190/TA152 w all the late war turbochargers/superchargers w all the different altitudes w each turbo/supercharger gear engaged all in a spreadsheet and also looked at the Methonol / water injections in concert w supercharger/ turbo at extremely high altitudes.. I'll say this: Very impressive performance even at 40,000 ft and higher!!!!!! lol midblowing

Ha. He's in the comments a few hours after you.

Why thank you

...and also the country with Kurt Tank's two jet designs. One is still on display there?

@@brianreddeman951 both of them are at display, the pulqui 1 and pulqui 2, the first one ws mainly designed by the famous french designer whose name i cant remember haha, i think it we has the designer of the D520 and its ancestors.
