WikiProject Aircraft
A WikiProject, or Wikiproject, is a Wikimedia movement affinity group for contributors with shared goals. WikiProjects are prevalent within the largest wiki, Wikipedia, and exist to varying degrees within Wikimedia project, sister projects such as Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikidata, and Wikisource. They also exist in different languages, and translation of articles is a form of their collaboration. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CBS News noted the role of Wikipedia's WikiProject Medicine in maintaining the accuracy of articles related to the disease. Another WikiProject that has drawn attention is WikiProject Women Scientists, which was profiled by ''Smithsonian Magazine, Smithsonian'' for its efforts to improve coverage of women scientists which the profile noted had "helped increase the number of female scientists on Wikipedia from around 1,600 to over 5,000".

LVG B
Luftverkehrsgesellschaft m.b.H. (L.V.G. or LVG) was a German aircraft manufacturer based in Berlin- Johannisthal, which began constructing aircraft in 1912, building Farman-type aircraft. The company constructed many reconnaissance and light bomber biplanes during World War I. The raid on London in 1916 was conducted by one LVG C.IV. It dropped its bombs near London Victoria station, but was shot down by French anti-aircraft gunners on its way home.

Rapp 200 Hp
The Rapp 200 hp was a water-cooled 90° V-8 aircraft engine built by Rapp Motorenwerke. Design and development The Rapp 200 hp V-8 engine design was derived from the earlier four-cylinder Rapp 100 hp design approximately around 1915.''BMW Group Archives''. Achtzylinder Rapp - Flugmotor, 200 PS (photo) It had eight cylinders with the same bore and stroke of as the Rapp 100 hp, arranged in two rows of four.Angle. 1921. p. 402Huth. 1920. p. 145-147, 130-134 The engine was said to produce about at 1,350 rpm, while weighing about .Eyb. 1918. p. 125Klamroth. 1916. p. 235 The design of the cylinders and the valvetrain also reflected the design of the Rapp 100 hp four-cylinder. The cylinders of each cylinder row were again arranged in pairs composed of two separate forged steel cylinder liners screwed into the pairwise cast cylinder heads. The cylinder heads had integral cooling jackets and were cast from steel in pairs and then machined. The valve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Karl Rapp
Karl Friedrich Rapp (24 September 1882 in Ehingen (Danube) – 26 May 1962 in Locarno) was a German founder and owner of the Rapp Motorenwerke GmbH in Munich. In time this company became BMW AG. He is acknowledged by BMW AG as an indirect founder of the company. Early life Little is known of Karl Rapp's childhood and adolescent years. However, it is known that Rapp learned the engineering profession and was employed by Züp automotive company from approx. 1908 to 1911. It is believed he was active as a technical designer with Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft until 1912. Rapp left the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft to head a branch of Flugwerk Deutschland GmbH. Aircraft engine manufacturing Flugwerk Deutschland GmbH probably transferred its headquarters from Gelsenkirchen-Rotthausen to Brand near Aachen. The articles of association were ratified on 15 February 1912, and the entry in the Aachen Commercial Register was effected on 5 March 1912. The object of the business was the m ...

SOHC
An overhead camshaft (OHC) engine is a piston engine where the camshaft is located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber. This contrasts with earlier overhead valve engines (OHV), where the camshaft is located below the combustion chamber in the engine block. ''Single overhead camshaft'' (SOHC) engines have one camshaft per bank of cylinders. ''Dual overhead camshaft'' (DOHC, also known as "twin-cam".) engines have two camshafts per bank. The first production car to use a DOHC engine was built in 1910. Use of DOHC engines slowly increased from the 1940s, leading to many automobiles by the early 2000s using DOHC engines. Design In an OHC engine, the camshaft is located at the top of the engine, above the combustion chamber. This contrasts the earlier overhead valve engine (OHV) and flathead engine configurations, where the camshaft is located down in the engine block. The valves in both OHC and OHV engines are located above the combustion chamber; however an O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Otto Flugmaschinenfabrik
Gustav Otto Flugmaschinenfabrik was a pioneering German aircraft producer during the early part of the 20th century. Founded in 1910 by Gustav Otto in Bavaria, the firm was reorganized on 7 March 1916 into Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW). In 1917, a Bavarian aircraft engine maker called Rapp Motorenwerke changed its name to Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbH (BMW). That company transferred its engine-production assets and the BMW name in 1922 to Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, which was then renamed to Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and subsequently evolved into the automotive and motorcycle manufacturer that is now known as BMW. History In 1910, Gustav Otto founded the "Aeroplanbau Otto-Alberti" workshop at the Puchheim airfield near Munich in Bavaria, where Otto and a few others flew machines made of wood, wire and canvas which were powered by an engine. Through their passion for these flying machines, they helped transform aviation from a do-it-yourself hobby into a genuine industry that ...

Société Du Carburateur Zénith
(French for ''Zenith carburetor company'') was a French corporation specialized in the making of carburettors for both automotive and aerospace industries. Created in Lyon in 1909 by car manufacturer Rochet-Schneider, it was taken over in 1970 by German company DVG. One of the main carburettor manufacturers of the 20th century, it had factories in Lyon and abroad, including in the United States and the United Kingdom. History Origins In 1903, 1873-born François Baverey bought a Lorraine-Dietrich car. Finding that its engine did not work well, he came to realize this was due to the carburettor not being able to adjust the air/fuel ratio to the engine speed. Although not an engineer, Baverey had a keen interest in mathematics and physics. In 1905, he started working on a new model of carburettor equipped with two fuel nozzles, the second of whom allowed the mixture to keep the same ratio independently of the engine speed. He applied for patent on 30 June 1906 in France, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bavarian Army
The Bavarian Army was the army of the Electorate (1682–1806) and then Kingdom (1806–1919) of Bavaria. It existed from 1682 as the standing army of Bavaria until the merger of the military sovereignty (''Wehrhoheit'') of Bavaria into that of the German State in 1919. The Bavarian Army was never comparable to the armies of the Great Powers of the 19th century, but it did provide the Wittelsbach dynasty with sufficient scope of action, in the context of effective alliance politics, to transform Bavaria from a territorially-disjointed small state to the second-largest state of the German Empire after Prussia. History 1682–1790: From the first standing army to the Napoleonic Wars The '' Reichskriegsverfassung'' of 1681 obliged Bavaria to provide troops for the Imperial army. Moreover, the establishment of a standing army was increasingly seen as a sign of nation-statehood and an important tool of absolutist power-politics. At a field camp in Schwabing on 12 October 1682, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Austro-Hungarian Armed Forces
The Austro-Hungarian Armed Forces (german: Bewaffnete Macht or ''Wehrmacht'') or Imperial and Royal Armed Forces were the military forces of Austria-Hungary. It comprised two main branches: The Army (''Landstreitkräfte'') and the Navy (''Kriegsmarine''). Both of them organised their own aviation branches – the Army's Aviation Troops (''K.u.K. Luftfahrtruppen'') and the Navy's Naval Aviation (''K.u.k. Seeflieger''). The Army in turn consisted of its own three branches: The Common Army (''Gemeinsame Armee''), the Imperial-Royal Landwehr (''kaiserlich-königliche Landwehr'') and the Royal Hungarian Honvéd (''königlich ungarische Landwehr''). Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces was the Emperor-King, the professional leader was the Chief of the General Staff and the head of the joint Ministry for military affairs was the Minister of War. The Armed Forces served as one of the Empire's core unifying institutions and the principal instrument for the national d ...
