Flug Werk's Fw 190D

Would Mr. Allen be looking to give his Casa a German look?

They also were nearly finished with a beautiful pair of Jumo 211s for an He-111 (perhaps the Austrian airworthy project?)

I know it's nit picking, but the Austrian project is a He-111P which had 2 x DB601's. It was the H model's that had the 2 x Jumo's.....?

Does this mean there's another He-111 project somewhere...?

That's not nit-pickin in my book. Thanks for the info-my bad. But any airworthy He 111 in original form is exciting news.

Now I wonder where those Jumo 211s ended up?

I must have missed hearing about this one. What He-111 is being restored to airworthiness in Austria? And where? I'll be in Austria this fall and would like to see if I can find this aircraft and get some pictures!

From www.preservedaxisaircraft.com
He 111P-2 Werk No. 5883 Under restoration to fly. Recovered in Norway in 1974 by RAF. Joined the RAFM Reserve collection Cardington. Some parts kept (se relic section) the rest sold, is probably in Austria now in a project to reconstruct a complete He 111 with the help of the CASA 2.111 cockpit...

No info on the current status.

Thank you!

Do you have any idea where it is in Austria?

Read that CASA wings will be used

Flug Werk is using an Allison for the D-9,this if from their website ( http://www.flugwerk.com/diary.shtm ) :

The new powerplant for the FW 190 D-9/N

A specially modified V-1710 Allison V-12 engine has been realized to power Flug Werk’s youngest project, the FW 190 D-9/N “Longnose”. In close cooperation between Flug Werk and our American partner-company “ACE-Allison Competition Engines” / USA. A radical modification was engineered, following the design-changes and criteria given by Flug Werk. The Allison’s propeller shaft and reduction gear-housing were redesigned, to obtain an extension of 300 mm. Design and manufacture of the new assemblies was done under utilisation of the latest state-of-the-art CAD-CAM and CNC processes. The change was necessitated in order to position the liquid-cooled engine’s radiators and oil-cooler between the propeller and the engineblock . At the present the modified powerplant is extensively tested on ACE’s unique teststand. After mounting the engine to the fuselage, a special down-swept exhaust system will be manufactured, with pipes exiting the cowling at the same location as they did on the original Jumo 213 engine.

Contrary to my earlier post, the Allison will NOT be inverted.

So - does this conversion also help anyone who wanted to run an Allison in, say, an Me109, under original looking engine cowlings? Or would the clearances still be too tight for it all to fit?

Would be nice to see the sudden appearance of more 109s on the scene.
