Thanx for your reply !
I personally think that it really exists a gret deal of information and drawings regarding this air craft…
But were to find it ???
It’s no secret that the USA took all the drawings from GERMANY after the war….
But were are they now ???

Hi 2 Stroke,
Welcome to the forum. I saw your query at AWF. Here too, I’m afraid there’s not a huge amount of knowledge in project aircraft (though I’d be delighted to be proven wrong); certainly not more than you’ve shown you’ve already got. Have a look around the Luftwaffe ’46 networks / website.
I’m afraid Flood’s right too – a wind tunnel model and a company 3 view (speculative) or two does not show a real aircraft was going to happen. It didn’t. For what it might have done, see Luftwaffe ’46 etc.
Andy, Bert, IMHO – ‘Opel’ is GM who are pooh worldwide – Exactly the same cars as Holden in Aus and Vauxhall in the UK – all three names owe nothing to their country of origin anymore. We can all remember who got the VW lines going with the KDF Wagen in the late 40s! Pity they couldn’t cut it back home in the UK. British Leyland – how not to do it.
However, don’t get seduced by whiz. Germany lost W.W.II because of sheer weight of numbers from west and east. Anything, including arguably the atomic bomb, would not have saved the Third Reich. God IS on the side of the big battalions.
Just my 2d.

having experienced some OPEL recalls I have quite a different opinion.
They had plenty of time to sort themselves out..
Nothing Blitz about a Vectra
Looking at these images from ’44 just makes you wonder where we would be today if German engineering had been able to continue unabated at the pace they had established way way back then. They were leaps and bounds ahead of the Americans and Soviets.
Stealth, swept wings, axial flow gas turbines , variable geometery and of course modern guided rocketry (which hasn’t change all that much today other than digital control)
This is of course puting aside for a moment the few unsavioury individuals who tarnished the reputations of their nations best.
Have to admit that my new German table saw and planing machine puts the competition in the shade for quality, simplicity and function.
Pity we can’t take a world lead in much manufacturing ourselves anymore these days…….

Aircraft : Focke-Wulf Ta-183

Hello !
Can anybody help me out with Pictures / Drawings / Blueprints and some facts regarding the Focke-Wulf Ta-183 aircraft ? :confused:
Yes. There are no real pictures, possibly few drawings or blueprints other than design sketches, and there are few genuine facts about the Ta183 since it was never built – hence no survivors.
Other than that, welcome!

Though he doesn’t list the TA 183 , this gentleman produces some rather nice and very detailed drawings of 190’s (and a lot more) in all their guises for anyone else looking for such items.
The level of detail he works to is very accurate and consider that he was also involved in producing manufacturing drawings and details for Flug Werk’s 190 project.
