Germany’s BRUTAL Asymmetrical Plane | Blohm & Voss BV 141

Blohm & Voss BV141 Aircraft that veered significantly from standard design concepts or configurations were a normal sight in military aviation history’s most recent decennia, and this trend continues today. One of the most unusual airplanes to come in the thirties was the lopsided BV 141 short-range reconnaissance and army co-operation machine designed by . Richard Vogt, who took an entirely new remedy to the task of giving a single-engine plane a superior field of view from every angle. In the late 1930s, when it seemed likely that the Nazis would dominate the globe, Germany came to the conclusion that it required a surveillance aircraft that had excellent vision in order to scout out potential targets. Therefore, at the outset of 1937, the German aviation ministry gave Arado and Focke-Wulf a requisite for a short-range surveillance aircraft. The requirement stated that the aircraft should be able to perform the roles of light bomber, low-level attack, and smokescreen-laying in the case of emergency. The specifications called for a machine with between 850 and 900 horsepower for takeoff, and there must be seating for three people, and the most important requirement underlined was the need of providing the crew with an unobstructed view in every direction. The new specification ended up drawing responses from Arado and Focke Wulf, in addition to the novel approach of Blohm und Voss’ Richard Vogt, then head of Hamburger Flugzeugbau, which Blohm und Voss had recently purchased.
