A small bulge of Fw190 D11/D13?
 

Hi all
Just see a photo,looks like a small bulge in front of
the cockpit on Fw190 D13.
Dose it exist both on Fw190 D11 and D13?
Why needs the bulge on it?

Hello Pikas

These bulges featured on the Fw 190 D-11, D-12 and D-13 engine cowls were due to the fact that these types used the larger Ta 152 engine mounts to fit the Jumo 213 E engine that they were equipped with. The earlier Fw 190 D-9 utilized the Jumo 213 A engine with different engine mounts that did not require any bulges for clearance. I hope this helps.

Horrido!
