The Focke-Achgelis Fa330 Bachstelze is a type of rotary-wing kite. They were towed behind German Type IXD2 U-boats during World War II to allow a lookout to see further. About 200 were built by Weser Flugzeugbau. In mid-1942 the first Fa330 were produced by Weser Flugzeugbau and were tested aboard U-523. Test results were excellent and the Fa330 was cleared for operational use in the beginning of 1943.
