High-altitude developments

Kurt Tank started looking at ways to address the altitude performance problem early in the program. In 1941, he proposed a number of versions featuring new powerplants, and he suggested using turbochargers in place of superchargers. Three such installations were outlined and lead to the C series

Fw 190 V13 (W.Nr. 0036) first C-series prototype
Fw 190 V15 (W.Nr. 0036) second C-series prototype
Fw 190 V16 (W.Nr. 0036) third C-series prototypeFw 190 V18(W.Nr. 0036) fourth C-series prototype

The Fw 190 C V18 prototype, with large ventral "pouch" fairing for the turbocharger installation and broader-chord vertical fin/rudder.

With a turbocharged Daimler-Benz DB 603, the tail of the aircraft had to be lengthened in order to maintain the desired centre of gravity. 
Four additional prototypes based on the V18/U1 followed: V29, V30, V32 and V33.
