The Focke-Wulf Triebflügel, or Triebflügeljäger, literally meaning thrust-wing hunter, was a German concept for an aircraft designed in 1944, during the final phase of World War II as a defence against the ever-increasing Allied bombing raids on central Germany. It was a vertical take-off and landing tailsitter interceptor design for local defense of important factories or areas which had small or no airfields.

The Triebflügel had only reached wind-tunnel testing when the Allied forces reached the production facilities. No complete prototype was ever built.The design was particularly unusual. It had no wings, and all lift and thrust were provided by a rotor/propeller assembly 1/3 of the way down the side of the craft (roughly halfway between the cockpit and tailplane). When the plane was sitting on its tail in the vertical position, the rotors would have functioned similarly to a helicopter.When flying horizontally, they would function more like a giant propeller.

Flies like a brick, slow, impossible to land, what’s not to love?
The spinning motion of the blade is powered by the junos at the end of each wing. I added a breaking ground controller to control the blade pitch.
