The German Air Force has determined the needs of new fighters due to the concerns of the allies of new fighters. The design of the Dr. Kurt tank has finally turned into FW 190, considered one of the best fighters by the end of the Second World War. The impressive performance of the FW 190 in a short time led to the replacement of the Messenschmidt BF-109. The FW 190D-12 R14 was the torpedo hunter version of D-12. It has the same wide vertical stabilizer as TA 152 and D-10. The aircraft had a MK108 30 mm ball that fired from the propeller's belly and can carry a LT1B or LTF5B torpedo on the central line ETC504 bomb shelf under the body.

Focke-Wulf FW-190 is a completely metal German fighter plane with indoor cabinet, single-engine, in the low-wing design of the Second World War. The pilots thought that the FW-190 was a better plane than the MESSERSCHmitt BF-109. A working FW-190-coated, self-supporting low wing was assigned by Luftfahrtministerium in the autumn of 1937. Kurt tank offered two provocation proposals; The first one is liquid-cooled Daimler-Benz DB 601 motor, and the second is the new BMW 139 radial engine with liquid cooling DAIMLER-Benz DB 601 engine. The second was elected and Obering R. Blaser chaired the work that started in the spring of 1938. The first prototype of the FW-190V1 was ready in May 1939 and on June 1, 1939, Captain Hans Sander was blown in Bremen. The second prototype FW-190V2, which was all 7.92 mm caliber-caliber and two MG17 machine guns, flew in October 1939. To reduce aerodynamic resistance, both had a tunnel air intake on the propeller cover, but there were problems. The overheating of the engine resulted in a return to the proven nac shield design. Before the tests of these prototypes started completely, it was decided to replace the BMW 139 engine with a stronger, but longer and heavier BMW 801. It required many changes such as strengthening the structure and transporting the cabin; This later became a model. The source of problems with the center of gravity. The advantage was to eliminate problems with exhaust gas influence and overheating of the cabin due to their direct proximity to the BMW 139 engine. The third and fourth prototypes were abandoned and the newly motor FW-190V5 was completed at the beginning of 1940. The wing opening was then increased by one meter (from the original 9.5 m), ie the wings reaching 10 km. It was slower, but increased the climbing rate and increased its maneuverability. It was marked as FW-190V5G and the shorter winged variant was FW-190V5K. The first seven machines of the FW-190A-0 information series had a short wing, the rest was longer. The first operational unit equipped with FW -190 - 6./jg 26 in Le Bourget declared its operational preparation in August 1941, and the advantage of the new hunter plane against the British Supermarine Spitfire was clearly revealed. During the war, a dozen version of this magnificent aircraft was created. The machines of the "A" version, with a dozen modernization, served as a fighter aircraft. The versions marked as "B" and "C" were the prototypes of high altitude hunter aircraft to fight strategic bombing planes, but they did not enter mass production. The "D" variant, the only model of the FW-190s, was strengthened with the new 1750HP Jumo 213A engine and was Germany's reaction to P-51 Mustang. The new engine extended the body several dozen centimeters. This variant also fulfilled hunting and high altitude hunter duties. Numerous varieties of the "F" version were used as hunter-bombers aircraft as direct support to the battlefield. The "G" version played the same role as the "F" version, but had a wider range. During the whole war, II. More than 20,000 copies of one of the best warriors of World War II were produced. Technical Data (Version FW-190a-8): Length: 9 m, wing opening: 10,51 m, height: 3.95 m, maximum speed: 656 km/h, climbing speed: 15 m/s, maximum range: 800 km, maximum ceiling 11410 m, armament: fixed-2 mg131 13mm machine rifle and 4 mg151 20mm top 2 mg 151 / 20e ball).
