Fieseler Fi-167 (v2.3 - 5 Jan 21)

Fi-167

  The Fieseler Fi 167 was a 1930s German biplane torpedo and reconnaissance bomber designed for use from the Graf Zeppelin class aircraft carriers under construction from 1936 to 1942.

In early 1937, the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (German Ministry of Aviation) issued a specification for a carrier-based torpedo bomber to operate from Germany's first aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin construction of which had started at the end of 1936. The specification was issued to two aircraft producers, Fieseler and Arado, and demanded an all-metal biplane with a maximum speed of at least 300 km/h (186 mph), a range of at least 1,000 km and capable both of torpedo and dive-bombing. By the summer of 1938 the Fiesler design proved to be superior to the Arado design, the Ar 195.

The aircraft exceeded by far all requirements, had excellent handling capabilities and could carry about twice the required weapons payload. Like the company's better known Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, the Fi 167 had surprising slow-speed capabilities; under the right conditions, the plane would be able to land almost vertically on a moving aircraft carrier.

For emergency landings at sea the Fi 167 could jettison its landing gear, and airtight compartments in the lower wing would help the aircraft stay afloat at least long enough for the two-man crew to evacuate.

Two prototypes (Fi 167 V1 and V2) were built, followed by twelve pre-production models (Fi 167 A-0) which had only slight modifications from the prototypes.

This is based on DreamK's excellent He45C "Pavo"v1.1. Available here https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,7980.0.html Thanks Dreamk.  :)

Thanks everyone.

 I'm glad you like it and up to six months ago I had never heard of this one either. Only came across it while looking up material on the Hs-126.
Once I saw it I just had to do it to add to what little we have for the Graf Zeppelin. ;)

Cheers and thanks again,

Edlor

Thanks for the kind words all and you're very welcome.

 A rare bird it is indeed Korrigan. Luckily it found it's way here for us to have and enjoy.  :)

I agree Ivan-le-Rouge.She is kinda sexy with those long legs and all and yes I do sleep and have a social life. I get two hours sleep a night and go on Facebook for five minutes a day.

What more could I ask for. ;)  :D :D :D

Cheers and thanks again all,

Edlor
