What are those famous German aircraft manufacturers from the Second World War doing now?

Arado was disbanded. Messerschmidt (formerly Bavarian Aircraft Factory, not Bavarian Maschinenbau (BMW)), Folkwulf, Heinkel, Dornier, Junkers were all merged and now known as the European Aerospace Defence and Space Corporation (EADS), later renamed Airbus Group. During this period there was MBB (Messerschmidt-Bolkow (I don't know how to translate this...).- Blom), MBB was acquired by the German aerospace company DASA, and later renamed Daimler-Benz Aerospace, the predecessor of EADS Germany.

Blomfors is still building ships for the German Navy and is a subsidiary of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems. Henschel became thyssen-henschel in 1976 and ABB (Daimler-Benz Transport Systems AG, "Anda Adtranz") in 1996, now under Bombardier. On the contrary, the Man who built the No. 5 tank "Panther" is still alive today, and Man's trucks are very common in Europe.

Fieseler wrote in Wiki English that only part of his factory continued to produce auto parts after the war. (I didn't understand German and didn't bother to look at the machine, but I probably looked at it, and it was no different from English) Gotha returned to his old profession after the war and went to produce trams and light rail vehicles in East Germany. (By the way, the entry for tram has a Chinese version on the wiki...)Hmmm....Classical Chinese version (the original text is as follows:

Tram, one of the railway vehicles, is driven by electricity, tends to (tend) to the fixed track, the short is one section, the long is more than ten sections. Trolleybuses are also called electric buses or trolleybuses. Mercedes-Benz and BMW, which produce aviation for Luftwaffe, are now in full swing.

Finally, how lazy are you, Wikipedia is available as soon as you look it up, and you can't help but use the English version of Wikipedia in China, which can be understood directly by flipping through it. <>

After World War II, Germany was divided into East Germany and West Germany, East Germany was a socialist country, and during the Cold War, it was bound to be economically and technologically contained (just like China now, Western European countries have been curbing our development). And West Germany was a defeated country, like Japan, which was only allowed to defend. After the Cold War, Germany merged into one and entered the European Community, where their technology or equipment could generally be shared, and Germany could also maintain its security entirely with the help of the European Community.

After the defeat of Germany in World War II, it developed only defensive**.

Germany's aviation technology is not weak, but now the European Union, with the exception of France, generally likes to jointly develop fighter jets, which is out of consideration for reducing development costs and also for the needs of EU integration.

For example, the "Typhoon" fighter is one of the best combat units in the world at present, and it was jointly developed by Germany, Britain, Italy, and Spain. Germany has the largest proportion of development in it, and the first "Typhoon" is a German model, produced in Germany.

As for space, Germany has always been one of the core countries of the European Space Agency's projects. These include communications satellites, the Galileo navigation system, the International Space Station, and many ......

Because Germany was a defeated country in World War II.

The military industry was greatly suppressed.

The United States has military bases in Germany.

The United States also put nuclear ** in Germany.

This resulted in the German military being entirely under American supervision.

It's true that Germany didn't build planes at all.

Aerospace. Germany is part of ESA.

accounted for a large share.

The aerospace strength is not bad.

But ESA's space is generally commercial.

Germany's industrial strength is still very strong, why there is no signature fighter, I don't know, but you have to know her other world famous brands: 1 Leopard tank, one of the best performing tanks in the world, but significantly better than several other tanks, the world ranking can almost shoot first.

2 Type 212 and Type 214 submarines have excellent performance, have an AIP system (does not rely on air propulsion), have stronger underwater endurance, and have more exports.

3 Individual equipment HK Company is represented by the MK23 USP G36 XM8 PSG-1 2

The aircraft industry is useless with technology alone... In addition to France, which sold phantoms and established its own R&D and sales channels, other countries, including the United Kingdom, were unable to develop their own research and development.

Japan is the forward base for containing China, and the United States will certainly support it. Now that the USSR has collapsed, the role of Germany has been lost.

Besides, didn't Germany participate in the European joint fighter project?

In the current international situation, there is no need for Germany to spend a lot of money on building a fighter plane on its own.

Defeated, afraid of recovery, nothing can be made.

The United States has:

Boeing McDonnell Douglas, just been acquired by Boeing.

Lockheed (only military aircraft are produced).

Sikorsky (***).

Bell (***).

Cessna (good at small planes).

Russia: MiG Sukhoi (Su-).

Tupolev (Fig-).

Ilyushin (Il-).

Miri (***, m-).

Kamov (***, Ka-).

Europe (joint ventures of Britain, France, Germany and Spain):

Airbus Air Corporation, which only produces large passenger aircraft.

France: Dassault (production of Mirage fighters).

French Aerospace Corporation (Concorde supersonic airliner, jointly developed by Britain and France) Brazil:

Embraer (ERJ family regional airliner).

Canada: Bombardier (CRJ family regional airliner).

United Kingdom: de Havilland (the first jetliner "Comet", but also the Trident) Vickers (Viscount airliner).

British Aircraft Corporation, now part of British Aerospace (Concorde supersonic airliner, jointly developed by Britain and France).

The F-15 Eagle fighter of the American company McDonnell Douglas is one of the most outstanding fighters in the world and is a representative of the third generation of jet fighters after the war.

F-16 "Fighting Falcon" (Fighting Falcon) light fighter developed by: General Dynamics of the United States Loma Company.

AH-64 Apache Armed Helicoper Anti-tank Armament developed by Hughes *** Company in the United States in 1975.

f15 f16

The F15 was manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, which was later acquired by Boeing, and is now part of Boeing's Military Division.

The F16 was originally manufactured by General Dynamics, and later GM gave the production line ** to Lockheed Martin, and now the F16 belongs to Loma's products, and it should be noted that General Dynamics and General Electric (GE) are two companies, and General Electric is a well-known jet engine manufacturer.

Grumman, the manufacturer of the F14, later merged with Northrop, the manufacturer of the B2 stealth bomber, to become Northrop Grumman, the major American manufacturer of military aircraft, and second to none in the world.

The Super Flag is made by Dassault in France, and the Phantom and Rafale are all Dassault products.

In addition, the European Aerospace Defense Company (EADS), which is mainly composed of France, Germany and Spain, is the manufacturer of Typhoon fighter jets.

AH64 is manufactured by Hughes *** company, *** in the United States, Sikorsky in the United States, Miri in Russia, Kamov and EADS in Europe are all well-known manufacturers.

For an account of German-Japanese exchanges in World War II, see "Operation Bamboo".

The Japanese Air Force has more copycats or borrowed, purchased German-made equipment and models, and introduced the early version of the Daimler-Benz engine DB601 used in the German-made Messerschmitt fighter in the war, equipped with the self-developed Ki-61 Feiyan fighter, which is a patchwork **, it is said that the failure rate is higher, so the number of equipment is small and the impact is small, but the performance is better than the German-made Messerschmidt fighter ME109E and the Allied P-40 fighter. Germany also sent a Focke-Woolf FW190A-5 to Japan with a submarine. At the end of the war, Japan brought back the drawings of the German ME-163 Comet rocket-propelled fighter and the ME-262 jet fighter through submarines, but due to the tight time, it was forced to simplify the original design and make a rough imitation of the comet "Akisui" rocket fighter and a rough imitation of the ME-262 Nakajima Fire Dragon (unarmed, planned for kamikaze attack) Limited to the level of craftsmanship, the power of the Japanese-made jet engine was only half of that of the German product, and the reliability was much worse, and it was not finally put into large-scale production.

Due to the clumsy technical calculation of aviation artillery, the Japanese Air Force purchased and copied a large number of German-made aircraft guns during the war, such as the MG190 20 cannon imported with the FW190A-5 reached 800 pieces, while the imitation of the German MG-FF

The 20 guns were a lifeline for the Japanese Air Force's large number of equipment.

At the end of the war, Germany exported to Japan: sub-bombers.

V-1 missile, BH gliding bomb, Henschel wireless gliding bomb, etc. (personal analysis should be drawings but not physical objects, because submarines cannot be loaded, and sea shipping is basically impossible) For detailed information, please refer to the article "List of Military Exchanges between Germany and Japan in World War II" by Iron and Blood Community.

Resources are relatively scarce.

Small industrial scale.

In the middle and late stages of World War II, many factories were bombed and destroyed.

The Luftwaffe produced 113514 aircraft:

53,728 fighters, 12,359 fighter-bombers, 18,235 bombers, 6,299 reconnaissance aircraft, 1,190 seaplanes, 3,079 transport aircraft, 3,145 gliders, 2,549 liaison aircraft, 10,942 training aircraft, and 1,988 spraying and Shenqi aircraft.

Here's World War II.

Larger enterprises are:

Messerschmitt (Bavaria), typified by the ME (BF) 109 110 262, as well as large aircraft such as the ME323 heavy transport aircraft, have created a series of models that have changed history.

Heinkel company, the main HE111 bomber during the war, the pre-war products are all-encompassing, since the HE112 lost to the BF109, the HE118 lost to the JU87, and sat on the cold bench, the water plane HE115 is also very famous.

Junkers, in addition to the "Aunt Junker" JU52 and the "Screaming Death" JU87, is the universal aircraft JU88.

The Dornier Company, which specializes in seaplanes, and the DO18 24 are all classics, but their brilliance is often overshadowed by the DO17 217 series bombers (the latter is often known as anti-ship missile-carrying aircraft).

Focke Wolff, in addition to the "Atlantic Plague God Training" FW200, of course, is the famous FW190.

The Henschel company, which specializes in ground attack aircraft, the HS123 and the "tank opener" HS129 are his masterpieces.

Blom Foss (Hamburg), who is not a good shipbuilder, made a very classic BV (HA) 138 seaplane.

Arado, whose fame comes from the AR95 196 seaplane, lost to the AR234 jet bomber.

Fitzler relied on the FI156 to earn its place in history.

There are too many small companies left to list.
