1) " Erno" -- As it applies to Erno Laszlo The Entwicklungsring Nord (Northern development circle) was a 1961 joint ventureof Bremen -based Weserflug and Focke-Wulf with Hamburger Flugzeugbau to develop parts for rockets. In 1961 work began on a small, jet-powered transport aircraft initially styled Ero -61-4. After Weserflug and Focke Wulf formally merged into Vereinigte Flugtechnische Werke (VFW) in 1964, the machine was redesignated VFW-614. Thedraft design was amended to a STOL 40-44 passenger jet with overwing engines, for easieroperation from unprepared runways. German government subsidies enabled development tostart in earnest in 1966. The first prototype started in August 1968, but then VFW and Fokker of the Netherlands formed a jointtransnational holding company.The prototype flew on July 14th, 1971, but crashed next February. Two more prototypes flew in 1972. German, FAA, and French DGA certifications completedin 1974, 1975, & 1976 respectively. The collaborative production arrangements involved Messerschmitt Bolkow Blohm (MBB) in Germany, Fokker VFW inthe Netherlands and SABCA and Fairey in Belgium.The first sale was to CimberAir ( http: www.cimber.dk ), which started commercial flights in November 1975. The Fokker VFW alliance affected the Vfw-614 negatively, as Fokker needed to sell its competing F27 and F28. National subsidies were diverted to the Airbus program, and the end came for the Vfw-614. In August 1977 the 19th (includingprototypes) and last machine was completed. Few Vfw 614 aircraft remained in use. Only the Koln/Bonn Flugbereitschaft der Luftwaffe continued flying Vfw-641 until theyfinally ceased in 1998. Only DLR in Braunschweig (region) and EADS Airbus at Bremen now retainthe machines for research duties. The European Space Agency ESA in June 1974 named aconsortium headed by Etno -VFW Fokker (Zentralgesellschaft VFW-Fokker GmbH) to build pressurized modules for Spacelab. ...
