The FW-190 V18 was designed and built as a prototype for the FW-190 C high-altitude aircraft. The V18/U1 version was equipped with the DB 603 A engine, driving a four-blade propeller. The FW-190 C was a planned high-altitude fighter that never came to fruition; nevertheless, five prototypes were completed: the FW-190 V18, V29, V30, V32, and V33. Each of these aircraft was equipped with DB 603 inline engines, annular radiators, Hirth 9-2281 turbochargers, and four-blade propellers. In 1944, the project was halted due to technical problems and opposition to the use of the DB 603 (which was needed for other aircraft types).
