Design and development
The FW-5 was a cantilever low-wing monoplane, it had an unusual wing planform in which the wing centre-section was blended into the fuselage, this gave rise to the name The Wing.[1] It had a fixed tailwheel landing gear and was powered by a 325 hp (242 kW) Avco Lycoming flat-six piston engine.[1] The enclosed cabin had room for a pilot and three passengers. First flown in 1942 only two aircraft were built.[2]
