Focke-Achgelis Fa-330 Bachstelze

The Focke-Achageris Fa330 Bachsterze is a single-seat, three-blade rotorcraft used as a ship-mounted reconnaissance aircraft for German U-boats during World War II. The Fa330, which weighs about 80kg and is easy to handle, was assembled on the deck of a submarine, and when the U-boat sailed upwind, the flow of wind would rotate the rotors, and the Fa330 was then moored to the U-boat with a cable. The Fa330 flew over a maximum altitude of 120 meters. In fine weather, it was possible to visually recognize a radius of about 40km, and the crew members were able to convey the observation results by wire to the inside of the ship. The Fa330 was used in U-177, U-181, U-852, etc., and was mainly used for patrols in the Indian Ocean.
