Model and history of the original

The Focke-Achgelis Fa 225 was an experimental German autogyro developed during World War II by the Focke-Achgelis company. Built in the early 1940s, it was created as a modification of the popular DFS 230 glider, fitted with a rotating rotor from the Focke-Achgelis Fa 223. The project was carried out for the Luftwaffe, and its main purpose was to support airborne operations and supply deliveries in field conditions. Although only one prototype was built, today it is considered a true rarity among wartime aviation designs.
