for what reasons did the enginneers at Focke-Wulf tried a four blades propeller on the Fw190V18 high altitude prototype
|
They were looking for a counter to the B-29 being able to bomb at 30,000 feet and above.
The Germans had no ability to intercept anything at that altitude. The FW-190V18 was one of the designs examined and tested. The result was the Ta-152 series had better performance at altitude and the program was scrapped.
