                       FW-190 Restitution ][

 This Aircraft is a fictional conversion of the FW-190 that illustrates what
could've happened if the Luftwaffe had continued their expansion of the FW-190
/Ta 152 line. Here is the theoretical summary of the events that may have led
to this terrifying warbird's development...

1: The signifigant advance in German weaponry. After capturing numerous planes
equipped with the Hispano 20mm weapons, there was research done by Mauser on 
these weapons, and they developed a cannon, firing 30mm HE (High Energy) ammo
that combine all of the best aspects of both the Hispano and the MG line. The
result was a highly efficient, highly accurate weapon that jammed very little,
was incredibly light, and was deadly to allied planes. The limitations of this
cannon proved to be that, at close range, the cannon shells fired with too 
high a velocity to impact the enemy plane and explode inside of it. The round
would instead just go completely through an enemy's wing, and explode on the
other side. This problem has never been completely eliminated, and thus some
flight Gruppen are installing the conventional MK 103 or MK 108 cannon on one
of the aircraft's weapons bays. This increases the plane's weight du to the 
much greater weight of the guns and ammunition, and so many units decrease the
amount of shells to be carried to compensate.

2: The development of dual-powerplant technology. This was initially a U.S. 
funded project to be tested at the highest secrecy level at classified locales
over the U.S. A prototype airframe was sent to Thorpe Abbots airfield for high
speed interdiction/bombing testing. This plane, a modified B-24 Liberator was
dispatched and flew over Berlin at an altitude of some 2,000 feet at a rate of
425mph. This was sufficient enough to outrun fighters, but a flak battery saw
the aircraft, identified it, and shot it down. German scientists were able to 
piece together enough wreckage to discover the unusual nature of the engines.
The engines were an early example of propeller/jet hybridation. These engines
used a standard radial engine, but a turbojet was interlinked to rotate the
propeller, and to provide additional thrust for speed. This early model engine
was very unreliable, and it was said the pilot of the B-24 had broadcast that
two of the four engines were nonfunctional shortly before the plane was shot 
down. Engineers at BMW, Junkers, and Daimler Benz worked in secrecy to improve
on this engine design. Each team worked separately, but all were aimed at the
goal of creating the ultimate powerplant for conquset of the air. The initial 
use of the engines were to be mounted on light bombers, that, traveling at a
high rate of speed, at low altitude to drop bombs on English militay targets
as well as cities. General Adolf Galland had heard mention of these engines, 
and urged that they should be, if possible, incorporated in existing fighters.
This would give the Luftwaffe a great advantage over its enemies. The first 
company to produce viable engines was Junkers. They used their 004b turbojet 
as the basis of the powerplant, and it was mounted in front of a pusher-prop.
This did not prove to be successful, as the jets short lifespan, ad tendency 
to retain fuel often proved dangerous during the flight trials, so their model
was scrapped. Daimler Benz' powerplant had come next, it used the proven DB605
liquid-cooled engine as the basis of its engine. The propeller was mounted in
the usual manner, and a Junkers 004d jet was used. The engine was modified to 
use the jets exhaust pressure much like a supercharger, but the engine had to
be made with a large exhaust manifold, and pipe because a great deal of smoke
was produced. This engine, despite its heat, and the amount of smoke released
has been accepted into the Luftaffe, and the Restitution type 2s are specially
fitted for this powerplant. The BMW offering is still unreleased due to some
difficulty in procuring test pilots and airframes. The BMW engine is said to 
be a mixture of jet and rocket technologies. 

3: The development of lighter materials for aircraft bodies and armor. Since
1935, Germany had been in search of lighter materials that could be used in 
aircraft. A small firm has come up with the answer: carbon-metallic fibre. It
is now used as the principle material in the construction of the Restitution.



 There, that's how this plane could've been made. It is a great improvment on
my earlier Restitution, hope you enjoy it.
