| Single-seat parasol-wing monoplane powered by a 179kW Argus As. 10C engine and first flown in 1933. Developed as a fighter for the Luftwaffe and exported to Austria and Hungary, it later became an advanced flying, radio, gunnery and bombing trainer, remaining in production until 1940.
Barry, 17.08.2012 13:01 This was the first aircraft that was designed by Kurt Tank after he arrived from Bayerishe Flugzeugwerke, although he had a great deal of input on the FW44 Steiglitz after Heinrich Focke started to concerntrate on rotary winged aircraft. Over 1000 Fw 56 were produced and were still in use as advanced trainers at the end of the war. reply | zhaoman, e-mail, 18.06.2011 05:33 Iam interested in building a Scale Model of this Aircraft.
