FOCKE WULF 190 - 14 Cylinder 1900hp Radial Engine Run | Hangar10

Focke Wulf 190 A8 does a full engine test run to vereify after an oil leak was fixed the day before. All went well. The FW190 is a newly build aircraft with many original parts. It`s powered by a "russian" Ash82T 14cyl. radial engine with around 1900 horsepower. There are plans to refit this aircraft with a original BMW801 radial engine.
Engine run was performed by Testpilot Klaus Plasa.
All filmed at the 2019 Hangar10 Fly In.
This kind of a behind the scenes video, a little longer, but I hope you like it.
Hangar10 Museum has many airworthy warbirds, especially german types.
Special thanks to the Hangar10 crew for giving me access.
Please check the Hangar10 website for opening times...

I found the Focke Wulf emanates this menacing aura, not sleek and beatiful like Mustang or Spitfire. The growl of the radial engine sound makes it even more so.

the particular sound from the engine is because it's a 14 cylinder, same type of sound on Mitsubishi A6M or Bloch 155 who use a similar engine (Gnome Rhone 14)

[@Hjerte_Verke]

The only thing that comes close is the hulking P-47. I thought I was an inline, water-cooled piston-engine fan, but found out that radials are just better. :^) Rotary engines are in my lineup too (favorite top ten, etc). Sopwith Camel or Fokker Dr1, for example....
