Helicopters1937 liaison autogyro prototype by Focke-Wulf
Focke-Wulf Fw 186

The Focke-Wulf Fw 186 was a one-man autogyro, built by Focke-Wulf in 1937 with backing from the RLM (ReichsLuftfahrtMinisterium - Reich Aviation Ministry), for use as a liaison and reconnaissance aircraft. It featured short takeoff and landing (STOL) characteristics. Only one prototype of the aircraft was constructed, and the project was abandoned when the RLM preferred the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch over the Fw 186.
