FS2004/2002 Blohm & Voss BV-222 “Viking”
FS2004/2002 Blohm & Voss BV-222 “Viking”. The Bv222 “Viking” was an aircraft of truly impressive size, and equally impressive characteristics. It also happened to be the largest flying boat to achieve operation status, and the second largest flying boat of the war. (Surpassed only by it’s cousin, the Bv238.) The Bv222 was designed by Herr R. Schubert and Dr. Ing. Richard Vogt, and was tailored to meet a requirement issued in 1937 for the Lufthansa. The requirement was for a long-range passenger transport to operate from Berlin to New York. Furthermore, the aircraft would have to make the trip in 20 hours with at least 16 passengers (24 passengers were to be carried on shorter routes.) Two kinds of airframes and two kinds of example of painting are included in this file. by Kazunori Ito. 3.5MB
