Focke -Wulf Fw 62 Floatplane
Intended as a replacement for the Heinkel He 114, the Focke-Wulf Fw 62 was a reconnaissance floatplane designed for Nazi Germany’s Kriegsmarine.
Two variants were built, to evaluate single and twin main floats. The V1 (D-OFWF) and V2 (D-OKDU) prototypes had conventional twin floats, while the V3 (D-OHGF) and V4 (D-OMCR) had a central float and two smaller outboard stabilizing floats.
Despite meeting requirements, the competing Arado Ar 196 was superior, resulting in only four prototypes being built.
