"The extra weight of the improvements meant that a number of early Condors would break-up on landing, a problem that was never entirely fixed. Later models were equipped with radar."
The last sentence doesn't fit with the rest of the paragraph very well, but I'm not sure where it should go. In it's own paragraph?
If anyone's checking up on this - can someone fix the broken references section? As well, can anyone add information on the Kondor carrying experimental guided missiles? Kmmontandon ( talk) 19:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm changing the spelling of the name from Condor to Kondor, because it is the German name. Binksternet ( talk) 17:51, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
The article states the Condor was the first airplane to fly non-stop "between Berlin and New York." As I understand it, in 1927 (two weeks after Lindbergh's flight) Chamberlain and Byrd flew their Wright-Bellanca WB-2 non-stop from New York to Berlin in 43 hours, 30 minutes. Maybe the author meant to specify that the Condor flew the first flight FROM Berlin to New York, but the phrase "between Berlin and New York" does not imply direction. Should this be re-phrased, or the Chamberlain/Byrd flight mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.170.203.240 ( talk) 19:09, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Am I missing something? The aircraft doesn't seem to have suitable range to make this journey?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.47.179.58 ( talk) 22:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

as you can see here http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/f/FockeWulf/Fw%20200/Fw200%20C3%20Bedienvorschrift.pdf 365 km/h at 4400 meters it's max cruise speed (so hard think 370 km/h was max speed). yo can also see the internal load it's max 2 500 kg bombs (not 4 to 250 kg bombs) the max bomb load it's 5400 kg (1000 internal and 4400 external) with reduced fuel load (1900 kg) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.238.235.70 ( talk) 13:44, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
This page should be under the full title 'Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor', and I'm afraid I just had trouble finding it searching Condor. I'm outta wikitime to deal with redirect fixes, so I place it in your hands. // Fra nkB 14:07, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Needs an infobox and references, but this is a pretty good, if brief, overview of what the Condor was about. The information on surviving Condor wrecks is quite interesting, to me at least. M Van Houten 05:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC) |
