title="Air Ministry (Germany)">German Air Ministry</a> (<i>Reichsluftfahrtministerium</i>; RLM) had a system for <b>aircraft designation</b> which was an attempt by the aviation authorities of the <a href="/wiki/Third_Reich" class="mw-redirect" title="Third Reich">Third Reich</a> to standardize and produce an identifier for each <a href="/wiki/Airframe" title="Airframe">airframe</a> type produced in Germany. It was in use from 1933 to 1945 though many pre-1933 aircraft were included and the system had changes over those years. As well as aircraft of the Luftwaffe, it covered civilian airliners and sport planes, due to the RLM handing all aviation-related matters in the Third Reich, both civilian and military in nature. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_system">The system</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=RLM_aircraft_designation_system&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: The system"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>When the <i>Reichsluftfahrtministerium</i> was given control of the country's aviation activities in 1933, it set out to catalog both the aircraft already in production by various German aircraft manufacturer as well as new projects approved for development by the ministry. The RLM made necessary improvements to a designation system which had been set up in 1929/30 by the <i><a href="/wiki/Heereswaffenamt" class="mw-redirect" title="Heereswaffenamt">Heereswaffenamt</a></i> (Army Weapons Office) in the <i>Reichswehrministerium</i> (Defense Ministry), together with other institutions related to the industry. The former system had caused confusion in the use of aircraft designations among the different manufacturers; six aircraft of different firms used the number 33.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>note 1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The improved designation system was introduced in order to provide a simple and unambiguous identification of every German civilian and military aircraft, be it fixed-wing or rotary-winged, and its corresponding airframe design. The heart of the new system was a (theoretically) unique number assigned by the RLM. In internal paperwork, this number was simply prefixed "8-" (or, in the case of <a href="/wiki/Sailplane" class="mw-redirect" title="Sailplane">sailplanes</a>, subject to a separate numerical list, "108-"), while "9-" indicated aircraft engines, with 109 prefixing reaction engines (gas turbines, pulse-jets and rockets). The new standardized type designation added two letters representing the manufacturer; Dornier (<i>Do</i>) and Rohrbach (<i>Ro</i>) already used this practice. The first of these two letters was shown in upper case, the second always in lower case, no matter its origin – so <i>Fw</i> for <a href="/wiki/Focke-Wulf" title="Focke-Wulf">Focke-Wulf</a> or <i>Bf</i> for <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt" title="Messerschmitt">Bayerische Flugzeugwerke</a>. The very first exemption from this rule was granted several years later to the <a href="/wiki/Blohm_%26_Voss" class="mw-redirect" title="Blohm & Voss">Blohm & Voss</a> shipbuilding firm, when they renamed their aircraft manufacturing operation – which had been split off from <a href="/wiki/Hamburger_Flugzeugbau" title="Hamburger Flugzeugbau">Hamburger Flugzeugbau</a> (Ha) – to Blohm & Voss and received the designation BV for their new aircraft, the first of which was the <a href="/wiki/BV_138" class="mw-redirect" title="BV 138">BV 138</a> <i>Fliegender Holzschuh</i> <a href="/wiki/Maritime_patrol" title="Maritime patrol">maritime patrol</a> trimotor flying boat. </p><p>As such the RLM referred to a Messerschmitt twin-jet fighter project internally as type "8-262", although in service the same aircraft would be known as the "Me 262". Originally, these numbers were assigned sequentially and wherever possible attempted to take into account the manufacturers' own in-house design numbers for types already existing in 1933. Duplication resulted from the fact that when one manufacturer abandoned a project, the same number was occasionally re-allocated, with an appropriate time delay, to another manufacturer. One known case that differed from the usual situation involved the airframe number "8-163", used initially for the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_163" title="Messerschmitt Bf 163">Messerschmitt Bf 163</a> competing liaison design that lost its chance at a contract to the <a href="/wiki/Fieseler_Fi_156" class="mw-redirect" title="Fieseler Fi 156">Fieseler Fi 156</a> - the post-July 1938 era's name change from BFW to Messerschmitt AG for the same manufacturer also changed the prefix, the later example being the much more famous <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_163" class="mw-redirect" title="Messerschmitt Me 163"><i>Komet</i></a> rocket-powered interceptor, where the same firm (under a new name and appropriate prefix) re-used the same airframe number. </p><p>A parallel designation system was created for <a href="/wiki/List_of_aircraft_engines_of_Germany_during_World_War_II" title="List of aircraft engines of Germany during World War II">piston aircraft engines, using the prefix "9-"</a>, with the special <i>109-</i> prefix replacing it for reaction propulsion (jet or rocket) powerplants. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Lettered prefix designations for major

class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After February 1935, each individual prototype aircraft were suffixed with "V" (for <i>Versuchs</i> German: "prototype") and a unique identification number for an individual <a href="/wiki/Airframe" title="Airframe">airframe</a> for that design type. So, for example, the <b>Me 262 V3</b> was the third prototype of the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_262" title="Messerschmitt Me 262">Me 262</a> built. Later in World War II, with such aircraft as the <a href="/wiki/Heinkel_He_162" class="mw-redirect" title="Heinkel He 162">Heinkel He 162</a>, other letters such as "M" for <i>Muster</i> (model) replaced the "V" designation, and even the Me 262's own later prototypes began using the letter "S" for such models. </p><p>Once accepted by <a href="/wiki/Deutsche_Luft_Hansa" title="Deutsche Luft Hansa">Deutsche Lufthansa</a> or the <a href="/wiki/Luftwaffe" title="Luftwaffe">Luftwaffe</a>, major variants of the aircraft were suffixed alphabetically with a capital letter. For example, the major variants of the Me 262 were numbered Me 262 A, Me 262 B, and Me 262 C, often using the <a href="/wiki/German_orthography#Alphabet" title="German orthography">German "spelling alphabet"</a> for each major variant's letter. </p><p>More minor variants were then suffixed numerically, beginning with "-0" for pre-production evaluation versions. Thus, the first batch of Me 262 As supplied by Messerschmitt were designated Me 262 A-0, followed by production versions Me 262 A-1 through to (in the case of this particular aircraft) Me 262 A-5. </p><p>More minor variants still were given a lower case alphabetical suffix. When the <b>Me 262 A-1a</b> was to be experimentally equipped with different engines, in this given case the <a href="/wiki/BMW_003" title="BMW 003">BMW 003</a> units, it became the <b>Me 262 A-1b</b>. </p><p>Additionally, special conversions of basic types were given the suffix <b>/R</b> or <b>/U</b> followed by a number. <b>R</b> was an abbreviation of <i><a href="/wiki/R%C3%BCstsatz" title="Rüstsatz">Rüstsatz</a></i>, a pre-packaged kit of parts that was usually installed on aircraft in the field, as opposed to requiring an aircraft factory to install one. The <i>Rüstsatz</i> designation was used for modification of basic types in order to be usable for a specific mission task like recon, fighter-bomber or bomber-destroyer. <b>U</b> was <i>Umrüst-Bausatz</i> ("conversion kit"), often contracted to <i>Umbau</i>, and was done with aircraft taken from the assembly line but also in repair workshops with airframes already in use, in any environment equipped at least as well as an aircraft factory would have had. The <i>Umrüst-Bausatz</i> designation was used for smaller equipment changes like additional boost agents for the engine or a different main armament. For example, <b>Me 262 A-1a/U3</b> referred to a small number of the standard Me 262 A-1a fighters that were modified by Messerschmitt as reconnaissance aircraft. The suffix <b>trop</b> (for <i>tropen</i> "tropical") was applied to aircraft modified to operate in the hot and dusty North African, Mediterranean and southern Russian theatres, for example, the <b>Bf 109 F-4 trop</b>. </p><p>Another notable practice in the German aviation industry of the time was for the "increase" of the three-digit section of an earlier design's RLM airframe number by an increment of one hundred for the earlier design's intended upgrade, or replacement: the intended replacement for the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_110" title="Messerschmitt Bf 110">Messerschmitt Bf 110</a>, for example, was the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_210" title="Messerschmitt Me 210">Messerschmitt Me 210</a>, and similarly, the <a href="/wiki/Heinkel" title="Heinkel">Heinkel</a> aviation firm's entry in the May 1942 <i><a href="/wiki/Amerika_Bomber" class="mw-redirect" title="Amerika Bomber">Amerika Bomber</a></i> design competition for a trans-oceanic range strategic bomber for the Luftwaffe, initially to be derived from the earlier <a href="/wiki/Heinkel_He_177" class="mw-redirect" title="Heinkel He 177">Heinkel He 177</a>A heavy bomber — as one of a <a href="/wiki/Heinkel_He_277#Trio_of_separate_efforts" title="Heinkel He 277">trio of parallel design proposals</a> to fully upgrade the 177A design into a true "four-engined" bomber concept — emerged as an almost totally new design (with heavy <a href="/wiki/Heinkel_He_219" class="mw-redirect" title="Heinkel He 219">He 219</a> influence) by later in 1943, receiving the designation <a href="/wiki/Heinkel_He_277" title="Heinkel He 277">Heinkel He 277</a> by February 1943, of which no examples were ever completed to airworthy status before its cancellation in April 1944.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The best-known case of the "third-digit increase" scheme occurred with arguably the most versatile airframe design in German production, the <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_88" title="Junkers Ju 88">Junkers Ju 88</a> — as successive designs meant to replace the original design went through the airframe numbers 188, 288 and 388, as well as the only four-engined development of the series, the <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_488" title="Junkers Ju 488">Junkers Ju 488</a>, through using components of most of the three previous designs. </p><p>It was also not unknown to re-use an earlier RLM airframe number for an entirely new design, usually when the earlier design bearing a given number had lost a production contract, with other possibilities for the practice coming from the likely desire for disinformation to confuse the <a href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II" title="Allies of World War II">Allies</a>.

RLM assigned this factory the designation prefix of Ha. However the connection with Blohm & Voss was just too strong and the aircraft coming from the Hamburger Flugzeugwerke were commonly known as 'Blohm & Voss type Ha xxx' . Eventually the RLM gave the factory a new designation of BV for Blohm & Voss. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt" title="Messerschmitt">Bayerische Flugzeugwerke</a> ("Bavarian Aircraft Works") was founded in 1926 out of the bankrupt remainder of former <i><a href="/wiki/Udet" class="mw-redirect" title="Udet">Udet</a> Flugzeugbau</i>. Originally producing its legacy of Udet-designed sportsplanes, it later secured the services of <a href="/wiki/Willy_Messerschmitt" title="Willy Messerschmitt">Willy Messerschmitt</a>, not as a chief engineer but as a free-lance designer. Thus BFW in Munich and Augsburg would produce and distribute designs from <i>Flugzeugbau Messerschmitt</i> in Bamberg. In part because of a deep personal animosity between Willy Messerschmitt and State Secretary of Aviation <a href="/wiki/Erhard_Milch" title="Erhard Milch">Erhard Milch</a> the RLM awarded the manufacturers designation <i>not</i> to Messerschmitt but to the BFW firm, and thus Messerschmitt's record-setting four-seat sportsplane design, the M 37, was produced as the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt" title="Messerschmitt">Bayerische Flugzeugwerke</a> Bf 108. Dissatisfied with this settlement, Messerschmitt himself used the money from the sales of his designs to buy a tract of land in Regensburg, founded the Messerschmitt GmbH aircraft factory and planned (or threatened) to start aircraft production on his own. Forced to choose between giving Messerschmitt his due and becoming a pure subcontractor, on <a href="/wiki/1938_in_aviation#July" title="1938 in aviation">11 July 1938</a> the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke took on Messerschmitt as chairman and managing director, took over the Regensburg plant and renamed itself the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt" title="Messerschmitt">Messerschmitt AG</a>. The RLM assigned this 'new' aircraft firm the designation prefix of <i>Me</i>. The first aircraft to benefit from the change was the Me 210. Nevertheless, the three production contract aircraft designs from the earlier Bayerische Flugzeugwerke firm in Germany, the Bf 108, Bf 109 and Bf 110 officially kept their "Bf" prefix, due to their pre-July 1938 origins, until the end.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1933, the RLM found that its aircraft production was concentrated too much in the South and West of the country and therefore asked <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hanns_Klemm&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hanns Klemm (page does not exist)">Hanns Klemm</a> to relocate his factory <a href="/wiki/Klemm" title="Klemm">Klemm Flugzeugbau</a> from Böblingen in Württemberg to the town of Halle in Saxony.

However, by the time the first Halle design, the <a href="/wiki/Siebel_Fh_104" class="mw-redirect" title="Siebel Fh 104">Siebel Fh 104</a> (that started its life on the drawing board still as the <a href="/wiki/Klemm" title="Klemm">Klemm</a> Kl 104) had flown in 1937, Siebel became majority shareholder of the new factory, bought in his own design team and renamed the factory <a href="/wiki/Siebel" title="Siebel">Siebel Flugzeugwerke KG</a>, henceforth producing aircraft under the RLM letter designation Si, including the definitive Kl 104 development, the <a href="/wiki/Siebel_Si_204" title="Siebel Si 204">Siebel Si 204</a>. </p><p>Also in 1933, the glider schools of the <a href="/wiki/Rh%C3%B6n-Rossitten_Gesellschaft" title="Rhön-Rossitten Gesellschaft">Rhön-Rossitten Gesellschaft</a> were incorporated into the <a href="/wiki/Hitlerjugend" class="mw-redirect" title="Hitlerjugend">Hitlerjugend</a>, while its construction and research team continued as a pure experimental think tank under the name <a href="/wiki/Deutsche_Forschungsanstalt_f%C3%BCr_Segelflug" title="Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug">Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug</a> or simply DFS. Although the DFS was a pure research facility and lacked the means of series production, several of its designs were license-built by various aircraft factories.

To reflect the lineage of those aircraft, the new types were numbered in steps of 100 above the number of the basic model they were derived from. As mentioned previously, the <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_88" title="Junkers Ju 88">Junkers Ju 88</a> formed the basis for the <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_188" title="Junkers Ju 188">Ju 188</a>, <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_288" title="Junkers Ju 288">Ju 288</a>, <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_388" title="Junkers Ju 388">Ju 388</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_488" title="Junkers Ju 488">Ju 488</a>. </p><p>Another change in the system was the gradual replacement of the two-letter prefix for the constructor with a prefix for the designer. Almost from the beginning the RLM used an elaborate system of licence-building and subcontracting to maximize its output of huge numbers of relatively few types of 'standard equipment' airplanes. Initially, the factory that designed the plane maintained the biggest share of that planes production. With the war proceeding, the Luftwaffe's need for fresh airplanes quickly outpaced the capacity of the original manufacturers, certainly with its factories now regularly being bombed by the <a href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II" title="Allies of World War II">Allies</a>. As a result, the connection between aircraft and original manufacturer eventually lost its significance. Aircraft were now built by a variety of factories often without any links to the constructor whose name it bore. Furthermore, aircraft engineers and designers, a hot commodity for a constructor and therefore aggressively courted and headhunted, were famous for their tendency to leave one company for the next bigger one every few years. Finally more and more of them started their own aircraft development company under their own name. The RLM followed suit by giving their products a two-letter designation reflecting the designer's name rather than the constructor he (originally) worked for. To further complicate things, those new design bureaus were often assigned ranges (or "blocks") of aircraft numbers formerly assigned to other constructors but unused. Thus when Focke-Wulf's chief designer <a href="/wiki/Kurt_Tank" title="Kurt Tank">Kurt Tank</a> founded his own design bureau he got assigned the prefix Ta and the block of RLM airframe numbers comprising 8-151 through 8-154. As a result, the further development of his <a href="/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_190" title="Focke-Wulf Fw 190">Focke-Wulf Fw 190</a> became the Tank Ta 152 but remained commonly known as the <a href="/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_152" title="Focke-Wulf Ta 152">Focke-Wulf Ta 152</a>. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>New designation </th> <th>Designer<br />(or design team) </th> <th>Replaced designation </th> <th>Former manufacturer </th></tr> <tr> <td><b>Ka</b> </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Albert_Kalkert&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Albert Kalkert (page does not exist)">Albert Kalkert</a> </td> <td><b>Go</b> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Gothaer_Waggonfabrik" title="Gothaer Waggonfabrik">Gothaer Waggonfabrik</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td><b>Hü</b> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Ulrich_H%C3%BCtter" title="Ulrich Hütter">Dr. Ing.
