The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (stork) was a small German liaison aircraft built by Fieseler before and
during World War II, and production continued in other countries into the 1950s for the private
market. It remains famous to this day for its excellent STOL performance, and French-built later
variants often appear at air shows.It was powered by an air-cooled 180 kW (240 hp) inverted-vee
Argus As 10C V8 engine, which gave the plane a top speed of only 175 km/h (109 mph), enabling the
Storch to fly as slow as 50 km/h (32 mph), take off into a light wind in less than 45 m (150 ft), and
land in 18 m (60 ft).
The long legs of the main landing gear contained oil-and-spring shock absorbers that compressed
about 450 mm (18 inches) on landing, allowing the plane 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. With its very low landing speed the Storch often appeared to land vertically or
even backwards, in strong winds from directly ahead.

Fieseler's entry was by far the most advanced in terms of STOL (Short Take Off and Landing)
performance, because of its superb STOL characteristics which would be of obvious great benefit to
bush pilots and mountain pilots.
