Focke-Hartz FoHa-1

[Michel Van]

i saw this in Hermeskeil Aircraft Museum in germany



it's a VTOL power by one engine and very complex systems of cables on track rollers connect that to rotors
only clue i have is it designation FO HA 1 by Focke Hartz.



here in much higher resolution

Thank you : a very interesting picture .

From " FOCKE " by Enno Springmann (Aviatic Verlag)
""" Hartz worked with Focke at the Fa 61 , Fa 223 , Fa 330 until 1945
After 1945 , Focke worked in France , in Brazil , and again in Germany (Borgward) . ( BTW , SE 3101 , Beija Flor , Kolibri had the unsuccessful " V " tail rotors , and the Fo Ha 1 too !)
Hartz , on its side , had a workshop at Laupheim .
After 1965 , Focke ordered a very small helicopter to be built by Fritz Hartz . It was not completed """

Anyway , it seems to have been almost completed ...
Curiously , this helicopter of the late sixties has some similarity with the Fa 61 of the mid-thirties …

I actually came across the picture first and my first idea was:Focke-Hartz? Looks to me like a precursor to the Focke-Angelis helicopters of the laye 1930's. Wonder if it was a prototype for the later FA-61

Is there any information about this project: Focke-Hartz FoHa.1?

Unfortunately I don't. But it must take a brave man to fly with a right-angle gear box in his lap and several meters of bicycle chain whizzing along over his head.
