Focke-Wulf Fw 57
The Focke-Wulf Fw 57 was a prototype German fighter-bomber. It was built in 1936 but never saw production.
==Design and development==
In 1934, the Reich Air Ministry (RLM) declared a requirement for a ''Kampfzerstörer'' (battle destroyer), a tactical multi-role fighter/bomber concept, and a possible predecessor to the late-1930s German ''Schnellbomber'' concept. Focke-Wulf submitted the Fw 57, Messerschmitt submitted the Bf 110 and Henschel submitted the Hs 124. The Fw 57 was larger than its two competitors; it was heavier and did not handle as well as the others.
The Fw 57 was a two-engine all-metal monoplane of conventional configuration, with a single fin and retractable tailwheel undercarriage. The pilot and navigator sat in tandem under a long canopy, the aft end of which consisted of a gunner's turret.
Three Fw 57 prototypes (V1-V3) were completed during 1936. The design was severely overweight, while the aircraft had poor handling. The original ''Kampfzerstörer'' concept which specified a multi-role aircraft with turret mounted armament had been abandoned by autumn 1936 in favor of the simpler ''Zerstörer'' represented by the Bf 110, which omitted gun turrets and bombing capability to allow a greater performance. All further research into the Fw 57 was abandoned and dropped shortly thereafter.〔Green and Swanborough 1994, p. 213.〕〔Green 1972, pp. 176–178.〕
