Description
Night Fighter · Zerstörer · All-Weather Day Fighter
The wooden twin-engine fighter Ta 154 also belonged to Kurt Tank's Focke-Wulf designs. After a promising start, this aircraft suffered a dramatic setback on 28 June 1944, when both prototypes were lost in an accident. The Ta 154's troubles weren't over. The wooden adhesive used in production, dubbed 'Tego-Film', suffered from poor quality control, the glue's compounds proving unreliable. Problems also began with the conversion to production status, since the first factories for operational equipment lacked the essential ingredients for successful adhesive application. Intended for mass production at Erfurt, production transfers, addition of prototypes, production examples, also Kröge conversions for the Ta 154 also led to production delays. By this time, construction of the Ta 154 also was delayed in the Reich due to logistical bottlenecks and even lack of wood for the Ta 154 airframe itself. Despite all, and to replace fighter aircraft losses, Kurt Tank's Ta 154 development and aircraft construction study of the Ta 154 completely revolutionized double engine aircraft. What did survive the Ta 154 was about like the technical had engineering data, about the Ta 154 prototypes itself and completions study of the Ta 154.
