This aircraft is a "What If?" version of the Focke Wulf Fw190 D-9. What if, after the Second World War, Kurt Tank had been tasked to design a race version of the Fw190 D-9 for competition in the Reno Air Races? The "Tank Reno Spezial" shows extensive streamlining,, a racing-size fuel tank, a high-aspect performance wing similar to the Ta-152 as well as a contra-rotating propeller setup to maximize performance. Top speed is in the vicinity of 540mph, which would break the world air speed record for propeller aircraft by a good margin. If you boost the engines a bit and oversize the propellers, 700mph are attainable, but I wanted to make something with realistic performance. Full back stick for takeoff and landing or the props will strike, just like on a real racing plane! The high aspect wing proves a handful at low speeds and makes landing approaches tricky but doable. Have fun with this racing purebred!
