In 1935, the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium, Reich Aviation Ministry) put outa tender for a new Luftwaffe aircraft suitable for liaison, army co-operation (today called Forward Air Control), and medicai evacuation, to several companies* Conceived by chief designer Reinhold Mewes and technical director Erich Bachem, Fieseler's entry was by far the most advanced in terms of STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) performance* A fixed slat ran along the entire leading edge of the long wings, while the entire trailing edge, inspired by earlier 1930s Junkers "double-wing" aircraft wing control surface designs, including the ailerons, was a hinged and slotted flap. In a design feature rare for land-based aircraft, the wings on the Storch couid be folded back along the fuselage allowing it to be carried on a trailer or even towed slowly behind a vehicle. The long legs of the main landing gear contained oil-and-spring shock absorbers that compresseci about 450 mm (18 inches) on landing, allowing the piane to set down almost anywhere. In flight they hung down, giving the aircraft the appearance of a very long-legged, big-winged bird, hence its nickname, Storch. Witti its very low landing speed the Storch often appeared to land vertically, or even backwards, in strong winds from directly ahead.
