The Hütter Hü 136 Stubo: A Bold and Ambitious Idea of a Flying Panzer

Greetings, aviation enthusiasts! Today, we're delving into the rich history of the German aviation industry. Think of iconic aircraft like the Bf 109 fighter and Ju 87 Dive Bomber – true marvels crafted during a crucial period. As World War II came to a close, these technological wonders set the stage for the evolution of rocket-powered planes. Yet, amidst the success stories, there were bold, perhaps impractical, ideas like the DB609-powered Focke Wulf Fw-190, Triebflugel, and Sack AS-6, proposed by enthusiastic minds. Join me on this journey as we explore the triumphs and occasional quirks in the world of German aviation history.
Today, we're diving into the intriguing tale of Ulrich and Wolfgang Hütter's unconventional vision in 1938. Picture this – a time when Nazi Germany sought to bolster its air force against the backdrop of post-World War I restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. As other major nations turned a blind eye to Germany's covert and overt treaty breaches, the Hütter brothers stepped forward with a bold plan. Witnessing the success of novel techniques like dive bombing, exemplified by the Junkers Ju 87 in the Spanish Civil War, Germany set out on a path of innovation. But here's the twist – this ambitious endeavor also called for the development of a more formidable ground assault aircraft.
