Service Seiling of 50’000 feet and 473 mph. Also used as a test bed for pressurization of the cockpit as well as pressure suits. Not a factor in the war as so few were built, and it had teething problems.

The Focke Wulf 152H actually used a Junkers Jumo 213E-1 inverted V12 liquid cooled engine rated at 1,750 horsepower for takeoff, (2,050 horsepower with methanol water injection MW50), and 1,320 horsepower at 32,000 feet, (1,740 horsepower with GM-1) with a maximum speed of 472 mph at 41,041 feet (with GM-1). GM-1 is nitrous oxide injection. MW50 is methanol water injection. The Junkers Jumo 213E-1 inverted V12 liquid cooled engine was required to be overhauled every fifty hours because this engine has both methanol water injection and nitrous oxide injection, which is very hard on critical engine parts. The Smithsonian has the only surviving Ta 152H at their Silver Hill storage facility awaiting to be restored.
