Designed in 1935 by Gerhard Fieseler, Reinhold Mewes, and Erich Bachem in response to a German Air Ministry requirement for a versatile liaison aircraft, the prototype Fi 156 V1 first flew on 24 May 1936. Its full-span leading-edge slats and large slotted flaps gave it a stall speed of just 50 km\/h (31 mph) — allowing take-off in 45 m (150 ft) and landing in just 18 m (60 ft) with a slight headwind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerals including Erwin Rommel relied on the Storch daily for battlefield coordination and troop reconnaissance. Its most celebrated missions remain two of the most daring flights of the entire war: the 1943 Gran Sasso rescue of Benito Mussolini from a mountain-top prison, and test pilot Hanna Reitsch’s April 1945 landing near the Brandenburg Gate in besieged Berlin under heavy fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 2,900 were built between 1937 and 1949. Production was later licensed to Morane-Saulnier in France (M.S. 500 Criquet) and to Czechoslovakia (Mráz K-65 Čáp). Today, only approximately 4 original airworthy Fieseler-built examples survive worldwide, with an estimated 30 total flying examples including licensed variants. Authentic restored warbirds command between $450,000 and $600,000 on the open market — a direct reflection of their irreplaceable historical and engineering significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Data — Fi 156 C-2\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrew:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–3 (pilot, observer, optional rear gunner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.9 m (32 ft 6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.25 m (46 ft 9 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.03 m (10 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Takeoff Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,317 kg (2,904 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerplant:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × Argus As 10C-3, air-cooled inverted V8, 240 hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 175 km\/h (109 mph)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCruising Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 km\/h (93 mph)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380–400 km (235–250 miles)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService Ceiling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5,270 m (17,300 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTOL Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take-off in 45 m · Landing in 18 m · Stall speed 50 km\/h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Archive — What This Collection Contains\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a professionally structured digital archive of original Fieseler Fi 156 engineering construction drawings, digitised from physical originals at 300 DPI and reclassified using modern engineering methodology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3,242 indexed technical drawing sheets\u003c\/strong\u003e (final verification in progress)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e78 system groups\u003c\/strong\u003e analysed and classified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrawing types:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly drawings · Structural drawings · Detail part drawings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal German title blocks\u003c\/strong\u003e preserved throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge-format archival scans\u003c\/strong\u003e at 300 DPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e TIFF (archival) · Organised digital file structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal archive size:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 80–100 GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrawing Number Structure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach drawing is indexed according to the original German drawing number format:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample: 8.156.17.0301\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8\u003c\/strong\u003e → Manufacturer \/ Project Code (Fieseler)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e156\u003c\/strong\u003e → Aircraft Type (Fi 156)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e17\u003c\/strong\u003e → System Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0301\u003c\/strong\u003e → Sequential Component Number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAircraft System Categories Covered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLG\u003c\/strong\u003e — Landing Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFW\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fuselage Structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWG\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wing Structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCT\u003c\/strong\u003e — Control System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEN\u003c\/strong\u003e — Engine Installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEL\u003c\/strong\u003e — Electrical System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIN\u003c\/strong\u003e — Interior Equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHY\u003c\/strong\u003e — Hydraulic Components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntended Use — Re-Engineering and Manufacture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis archive is specifically suited for \u003cstrong\u003ere-engineering and manufacture use\u003c\/strong\u003e.
