FW190
A [[World War II|World War II]] German fighter-bomber produced by Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau AG. It had wide-track landing gear and a rearward-sliding raised canopy. Initial models had a short, tightly cowled nose housing a "radial engine":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_engine; later ones (the D and Ta 152 series) had longer noses with liquid-cooled inline engines (see post #520843 for a comparison). They also had lengthened fuselages and longer wings. 

The Fw 190 could carry combinations of nose- and wing-mounted 13mm [[machine_gun|machine guns]] and/or 20mm [[cannon]]. Some had a 30mm [i]Motorkanone[/i] firing through the propeller hub, while the ground attack versions could carry rockets or bombs. The [i]Würger[/i] ("Shrike" or "Butcher Bird") could also carry external fuel tanks.
