Fieseler Fi 256 Superstorch

The Fieseler Fi 256, nicknamed Superstorch, was a German multipurpose liaison aircraft built by Fieseler as the intended successor to the Fi 156 Storch. It repeated the layout of the Storch but was a completely new design with no interchangeable components, with a cleaner airframe, automatic slats and a more spacious cabin for four passengers. A single Argus As 10 C eight-cylinder in-line engine of 240 horsepower powered it, giving a maximum speed of 186 kilometres per hour and a range of 385 kilometres. The prototype first flew on 9 July 1941, but a later flight ended in an accident that forced significant changes to the design. A pre-production batch of 13 was then ordered, 6 from Fieseler and the rest from Schwade in Erfurt, while none was built in France by Morane-Saulnier. Serial production was planned for 1943, yet only two prototypes were completed and production ceased. English Wikipedia lists the Fi 256 as a five-seat civil version of which two were built by Morane-Saulnier, so the sources disagree on the seat count and on where the two aircraft were built.
