Pilots considered the Fw-190 to be a better aircraft than the Messerschmitt Bf-109. A self-supporting low wing with a working Fw-190 covering was commissioned by the Luftfahrtministerium, assembled in the autumn of 1937. Kurt Tank submitted two propulsion proposals: the first with a liquid-cooled Daimler-Benz DB 601 engine and the second with the new BMW 139 radial engine. The latter was chosen and work began in the spring of 1938 and was led by Obering R. Blaser. The first prototype of the Fw-190V1 was ready in May 1939 and was flown in Bremen on 1 June 1939 by Captain Hans Sander. The second prototype, the FW-190V2, armed with two MG131 and two MG17 machine guns, all 7.92 mm caliber, was flown in October 1939. To reduce aerodynamic drag, both were equipped with a tunnel air intake in the propeller cowl, but problems with engine overheating led to a return to the proven NACA shield design. Before final testing of these prototypes began, the decision had already been made to replace the BMW 139 engine with a stronger, but longer and heavier BMW 810. This required many modifications, strengthening the structure and moving the cockpit back, which later became a source of problems with the center of gravity. The advantage was the elimination of problems with exhaust gas permeation and overheating of the cockpit due to its direct proximity to the BMW 139 engine. The third and fourth prototypes were abandoned, and the Fw-190V5 with the new 1940 engine was completed at first. Later, it received wings with a wingspan enlarged by one meter (from the original 9.5 m), which made it slower by 10 km \/ h, but increased the rate of climb and improved maneuverability. It was marked Fw-190V5g, and the variant with the shortest wing was Fw-190V5k. The first seven machines of the Fw-190A-0 information series had a short wing, the rest - a longer one. The first operational unit equipped with the Fw-190 - 6.\/JG 26 stationed at Le Bourget, declared its operational readiness in August 1941 and from the first meeting of the new fighter with the British Supermarine Spitfire its advantage over them became obvious. During the war a dozen versions of this large aircraft were created. The machines of the \"A\" version, together with about a dozen modernizations, served as combat aircraft. The versions marked \"B\" and \"C\" were only prototypes of high-altitude fighters intended to fight strategic bombers, but did not enter serial production. The \"D\" variant, as the only one of the Fw-190s,It was powered by the new 1750 hp Jumo 213A engine and was the German answer to the P-51 Mustang. The new engine extended the fuselage by several tens of centimeters. This variant also performed mainly fighter and high-altitude fighter tasks. Numerous variants of the \"F\" version were used as fighter-bombers as direct battlefield support. The \"G\" version performed the same role as the \"F\" version, but had a greater range. Over 20,000 copies of this one of the best fighters of World War II were produced during the entire war.
