Fieseler Fi 156 Storch - Argus AS10C Inverted V8 | Hangar10

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Klaus Plasa Flies the Fieseler Storch at the Hangar 10 Fly In 2019 with mechanic Horsti on the backseat.
This aircraft has some unique STOL flying capabilities. In strong winds it can actually fly backwards. It was used as reconnaissance and ambulance aircraft and also used and build by other nations with different engines. The french version (Morane-Saulnier MS-500) had a Jacobs R-755-A2 radial engine.
Minimum speed is around 45 km/h!
The orignial aircraft is powered by an air cooled Argus AS10C Inverted V8 engine with around 240 hp. Unfortunately the engine didn`t run smooth enough for a longer flight, so they just did a short hop.
To compensate that, I made an in depth walkaround. Hope you Enjoy!

    My father served as a medic in one of these. When flying out an injured soldier from a field exercise they had an unexpected burst of sidewind at the exact time the plane set the wheels on ground when landing on the airfield on return. The Fieseler promptly went topsy-turvy and ended upside down. Landing speed were, as my dad said, about a brisk walking pace. Dad suffered a bruised wrist, the pilot a broken leg and the patient crawled out of the plane with no more injuries than he had when taken onboard.

    When i saw one of these at the Shuttleworth Collection, we were fortunate to have a steady headwind of at least 30kt, which allowed it to have a takeoff run of about 8 feet, following which it was able to hover motionless at an altitude of 6 feet. Spectacular. On that day it could have taken off from the car park.

    alexandre210613 No. It was my uncle and not this particular Storch. In fact that Storch that my Uncle flew met it’s demise at the end of a US Army bulldozer blade. His unit had captured (by his account) quit a few German aircraft. His Commanding Officer knew that they would be moving to a more forward base. So the story goes the Air Corps offered any pilot the opportunity to have any captured airplane that operation paper clip wasn’t interested in shipped home for the sum of 50 bucks. (In 1944 that was a huge sum). He didn’t have that kind of money as most of his paycheck was being sent to my grandmother. So shortly before they vacated that base a huge trench was bulldozed and all the captured German aircraft as well as the lame ducks out of the squadron inventory (including the beloved Storch) were pushed into the trench and buried.

Ich war sehr überrascht über die Fähigkeiten dieses Flugzeuges und man hatte manchmal den Eindruck, dass sie in der Luft stehen bleibt. Für den Start und Landung reichen nur ein paar Meter und mit etwas Gegenwind hebt sie ab wie eine Feder. Einfach ein tolles Flugzeug. 😊👍

    125 of these planes were used in the invasion of Luxembourg and Belgium on May 10 1940 to secure key road junctions or disrupt telephone lines before the advancing spearheads would arrive. Some of those crash landed having to get down on plowed fields instead of the very roads due to unforeseen obstacles and were subsequently burned by their pilots not to let them fall into enemies hands (the motor was cast from Electron alloy, which burns quite nicely after set ablaze by a thermite rod). About 500 soldiers were flown in that way. The majority of the planes used though were able to safely take off from their landing sites and return eastward to the Reich. The unsuspecting enemies actually were rather bemused and unwilling to accept wartime conditions. On one occasion Luxembourg policemen tried to arrest the heavily armed (tank rifle, Mg34, SMG) soldiers claiming their country's neutrality (which was about to be violated the very moment several miles further east by advancing infantry divisions).

    Is that the 2 seater Buchon that came from Connie Edwards collection in Texas that was in the background?

    If there was one light aircraft I could have as a run about - it'd be a Storch! 👍.

    Haven’t scrolled through all of the comments to see if this was already mentioned, but this type of aircraft is briefly mentioned in the book “ A Higher Call”, which is about BF109 Pilot Franz Stigler & B17 Pilot Charlie Brown.

    I have the plans to build one of these as an RC model using foam board. With this video, I fully intend to add many details they eliminated in the plans simply because they didn't have such a detailed view of it. Even as an RC model it is known to be a very good plane for short take off and landing planes, better known as STOL planes.

    Fly an Eflight timber then use the wing to build the storch!!!

    I like this plane, slow, light, powerful, advanced stol devices, and also a lot of sight from the cockpit. Efficiency and a unique look. Some questions, why such a high gear with little wheels, the propeller does not seem so large, would it be better with bigger wheels on wild grounds? About the engine was it designed 'inverted' V8 for weight CG, front pilot view, or both? And what are the disadvantages of this setup? Thanks for this video, great images, a very complete private visit!

    The ME109 had a inverted V12, , the Gypsy Moth had an inverted IL6 so not unusual. I presume it was to get the crankshaft lined up with the propeller which had to be high enough off the ground not to hit when the tail came up level. Non inverted like the Merlin had a gearbox that did the same task but with extra weight and complexity. Modern ICE aircraft engine seem to be all of the boxer design which also lifts up the crankshaft. Agree about the wheels, guess the designers envisaged them being used on runways or roads, not fields.

    Mag acting up? Sounded a bit choppy after 2nd run up. Gotta love those STOL AC. I don't think the patient made it though, he looked rigor. Nice walk around - Thanks

    Just a quick question about the pilot's door in the Storch. I seem to remember seeing one version in which the door opened up vertically as if hinged at the top, yet most times the door appears to be hinged at the front in a more "normal" way. Am I going mad?

    Really a rather incredible STOL design,that takeoff was something else. Looking at the mocked up casualty,how the heck would you get someone genuinely immobile into that airplane ? Walking wounded sure,maybe one splinted broken leg with difficulty,but someone so badly off he needs the rapid ride to survive,that is a lot of highly engineered airplane,thus expensive thus fairly rare, needed for finding the opponents. And pressed into air ambulance because there is nothing else. And not engineered to rapidly mount/dismount said stretcher case. Unless I am missing something. Neat airplane. Very specific role of use. Would have loved some footage of what it took to install stretcher and dummy as located.

    I have the same concern. I wonder if the side panels could be swung up or down and out of the way.
