The Fieseler Fi 333 was a prototype transport aircraft developed by Fieseler in 1942, and backed by the Luftwaffe. [1]
The aircraft was to use detachable pods of varying sizes to carry cargo, a system that would allow a rapid turnaround on the ground. [1] The tall, fixed undercarriage featured tandem independently sprung wheels. [1] Power was provided by two 750 kW (1,000 hp) BMW Bramo 323D radial engines.[ citation needed ]
Three prototypes are believed to have been built. [1] [ citation needed ]
