Akaflieg Berlin
''Akaflieg Berlin'' is one of around thirteen flying groups, or ''Akaflieg'', currently attached to German universities. ''Akaflieg Berlin'', is the abbreviation of ''Akademische Fliegergruppe Berlin e.V.'' (Academic Aviator Group Berlin), a group of students enrolled at several Berlin universities, though they are mainly from TU Berlin, who are involved with the development and the design of gliders, as well as research in aerodynamics. Founded in 1920 ''Akaflieg Berlin'' was founded in 1920 and is one of the oldest gliding clubs in Germany, flying their gliders from Kammermark airfield near Pritzwalk, which they share with the AFV Berlin (''Akademische Fliegervereinigung Berlin e.V''.), which mainly consists of former members of ''Akaflieg Berlin'', jokingly referred to as the “elderly ladies and gentlemen”. As at 2007/2008 Akaflieg Berlin was the executive group of the Idaflieg (''Interessengemeinschaft deutscher akademischer Fliegergruppen e.V.''), the controlling body f ...

Akaflieg Berlin B2 Teufelchen
The Akaflieg Berlin B2 Teufelchen was a glider built in Germany in the 1920s. It featured a high-wing, cantilever sailplane configuration of all-wood construction.Carsten Karge: Versuchsflugzeug 1923. In: Akademische Fliegergruppe (Hrsg.): Jahresbericht 2009/2010. Berlin 2011, DNB 013347667, S. 9–15. Design and development Kurt Tank Kurt Waldemar Tank (24 February 1898 – 5 June 1983) was a German aeronautical engineer and test pilot who led the design department at Focke-Wulf from 1931 to 1945. He was responsible for the creation of several important Luftwaffe aircraft of ... studied electrical engineering, but he also tried his hand at a home-built glider, nicknamed ''Teufelchen'' (en:Little devil). Anxious to compete at the Rossitten coastal gliding competition in 1923 Tank had the LFG-Stralsund works complete the glider in time for the competition; transporting the aircraft by horse-drawn cart. The 'B2' was characterized by warping wing-tips, in the hope of dispensin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Akaflieg Berlin B11
Akaflieg is an abbreviation for ''Akademische Fliegergruppe'', groups of aeronautical engineering students from individual German Technical Universities, pre and postwar, who design aircraft, often gliders. History Otto Lilienthal published his book ''Der Vogelflug als Grundlage der Fliegekunst (Birdflight as the Basis of Aviation)'' in 1889. This described the basics of modern aerodynamics and aircraft construction. Lilienthal then made many successful flights starting in 1891. However attention then shifted to powered flight after World War I. Gliding re-emerged as a sport after the war because the building of powered aircraft was restricted in Germany by the Treaty of Versailles. The main originator of the gliding movement was Oskar Ursinus, who in 1920 organised the first contest, known as the Rhön-Contest, on the Wasserkuppe. Thereafter the contest was held annually. Students of technical universities brought gliders which they had developed and built themselves for te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Akaflieg Berlin B 9
The Akaflieg Berlin B 9 was a twin-engined experimental aircraft, developed by Akaflieg Berlin and Flugtechnische Fachgruppe in the 1940s. It was designed to examine the benefits of having a pilot in a prone position. The aircraft was flown in 1943, but was eventually abandoned.

DFS Meise
The DFS Olympia Meise (German: "Olympic Titmouse") was a German sailplane designed by the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS) for Olympic competition, based on the DFS Meise. Design and development After the Olympic games in Berlin in 1936 introduced gliding as an Olympic sport, plans were made to fly the 1940 Olympic championships with a standard design of sailplane to give each pilot the same chances. The Meise was redesigned to fit into the new Olympic class specifications. The new 'Olympia' Meise had the prescribed wingspan of 15 m (49 ft 2 in), spoilers, but no flaps, and an undercarriage consisting of a skid and a non-retractable wheel. The pilot sat all-enclosed in an aerodynamically clean fuselage made of laminated wood and topped by an acrylic glass hood. The plane could be launched by winch as well by towplane. Its wood-and-fabric construction made it easy for flying clubs to maintain, to repair and even to build the gliders from kits. A design cont ...
