The EinFlugel En-90 Sturmtaucher (Shearwater) is a VTOL tiltwing transport aircraft made by EinFlugel for the Luftwaffe. Designed to fly into the danger zone of a battle, it can do a crash dive style landing, while taking punishment before taking off just as quickly.
This aircraft, 17+49, is in the same squadron as 18+49 and 16+45, and also served in the German - Greek war doing frontline engine replacement deliveries.
Flying notes:
- top speed at 15000 ft: approx. 627mph
- service ceiling: approx 50000ft
- 50% throttle for vertical takeoff
- AG1 VTOL down for VTOL tiltwing and gyroscope
- AG2 VTOL down for STOL flaps
- AG3 VTOL down for ventral airbrakes
- BRAKE for propeller speedbrakes

@Avro683Lancaster yes but there was a concept for a tiltengine jet.
@Irobert55 like the Dornier Do-31? Done that (before 1.6)
@Avro683Lancaster i have an idea for you: in the early days of the cold war germany worked on real vtol planes try too build one of them. i think the look of them should be no problem.
for the looks. it looks prety past war german airospace enginering and thats a nice look.
@Avro683Lancaster oh and btw: i am german.
@Avro683Lancaster i get the message but its too easy to call a fictional buisines simply onewing. i would suggest flugwerft burghausen. this sounds more like a bussines from germany. or call the concern münchhausen it is a fictional gerneral from a tale and he catched one time a ride on a cannonball. or call it flugwerft berliching this is a real robber knight and he lost a hand to a cannonball and is the frist person in history with a prostetic limb.
@Irobert55 it is a fictional company for the Luftwaffe aircraft I make. the name was suggested by a friend, Wb54.
einflügel is not a german ariplane manufacturer. its another word for a single wing plane.
