Historical overview of the Focke Achgelis Fa 330

The Fa 330 was developed in Germany, with its main operator being the Kriegsmarine – the navy of Nazi Germany. During World War II, it was an innovative unpowered design, allowing an observer to be lifted to considerable heights using the towing force of a Type IX submarine. The Fa 330 was mainly used in the Atlantic Ocean for observation to detect Allied convoys. After use, the autogyro could quickly be folded and stored beneath the submarine’s deck. One of the most well-documented uses was during U-177's patrols in 1943.
