Various Focke-Wulf projects

[newsdeskdan]

Has this one been published anywhere yet? Dan teased in back in 2018.

Sure. It's on p247 of my Secret Projects of the Luftwaffe Volume 1: Jet Fighters 1939-1945 book.

Can anybody tell me what are these projects (FW 111 & 166)?.

Can anybody tell me what are these projects (FW 111 & 166)?.

Fw 102 = Misidentified Albatros Al 102 (L 102); 1 x 240 hp Argus As 10C; span 13.30 m.

Fw 111 = Misidentified Focke Wulf Fw P.III (not '111') single-jet fighter project; span 8.20 m

Fw 166 - No such animal. Obviously the authors had never heard of the Flugzeugbau Kiel GmbH and mistook Fk 166 for this fictitious 'Fw 166'. The real Fk 166 (D-ETON) was a cantilever biplane which flew in September 1934. As noted for the 'Fw 166' this aircraft was powered by a 80 hp Hirth HM 60 R air-cooled inline. Span was 6.40 m.

The purpose of the Fk 166 was to demonstrate Flugzeugbau Kiel's abilities for the October 1933 Schattenwerk-Programms. Once their competency was established, Flugzeugbau Kiel became an aircraft components maker and designed no further airframes.

,S-48

The S.48 was a low-cantilever-wing tandem two-seat monoplane project,
developed from A.36,as a trainer and sport aircraft.

The BMW P 8035 was a high-altitude turbosupercharger. It was originally designed for the BMW 801 D, then work started on mating it to the BMW 801 E. This combination was first referred to as the 'BMW 801 E mit P 8035', then simply 'P 8035', then finally it became the BMW 801 J.
NB. I was wrong here. The P 8035 was, as Wurger points out, a BMW 801 E mated to the turbosupercharger from the BMW 801 J - it wasn't actually the BMW 801 J, although it was very closely related to it - see post #280 below.

So THAT explains the scoop on the Fw-190B. I have wondered why an air cooled aircraft might need one, but now with my increased knowledge I know!

(EDIT: Not entirely sure why I said this because this was somewhat common lol, but I suppose with the high altitude engine this is still valuable information to learn from.)
