Jn order to oxplainider circle of readers the basic Idea of the nouI should like to eubait firs^thefolloving explanations!
hematiclan who considered tho now Science of Aero-
dynanies after the ccra^enooaont of purely experloontol developnonts of aircraft construction vas tho Russian Professor Jukovski of ttoooov. Before tbo firot Uorld War and together vith my esteenod teacher, Dr. Kutta froa tho Technical High School of Stuttgart, Co rainy, he developed the theory ofrofo6sor Kutta succeeded in establishing tbo"Differential equation of

Since then the "Xutte-Jukoueki Theory of AlrplAEe-vlocboan" has been the foundation of oildynanlcs. As already tonlioood, tho coro of this vork is tho so-called "boundary
hich consists of the thin layer of air in which the transitionZero to the Velocity of tha loving Object takes place. If the objootthen tha boundary stratus will ondoavor not to cover, no vhirlvlndsand thoreforo no loss of energy will take placo in that stratus. always functions cost eoonoeJcolly, it always tries to avoid loss of energy, laneviag would rathor boar weight thanisruption ofof tho current and 1st tho ving

However, dovoloprants prococdod. It was principally the AcredynariicInstituU of tho Gottlagen L'.Tiverrity, directed by tho renowned Professor* Frendtl and Bctr, and Constructor Plottnor, which drew Its conclusionsho theory of tho alrptaoo-vlag-boao. Flettner proved that tha conditionsotating object are elnilir to thoso which oppoar in arwvenent. Thus avalvad tho "Flottcar-Ao&or1.
Professor Junkars, head of thanown airplano works In Dessau, who In tho5 reosired hie pathbreoQog patent on the one-ploeo notil wing without Junctures,esearch croun, which was hcedod by Professor Dr. Dock, end toad the honor to oolong, to investigate to what extent the uplifting could bo increased through tho attachmenticttner-Soter In the shapeylinder turning at groat spe*d. The cylinder was two-thirds of the length of tho wing and vis Installed In tho nose of the wing, vhorc it could best be adapted to tho wing's profile. To esslot us with aoredynanio probleas, the Cottlhgen University cent us Professor Pnuvltl, The exporlronts turned out to bo extremely difficult and Involved nony casualties. Tho purely tecinical question of the cpocdy upliftong cyllnltr of light construction could not bo oolved at that tlra. Inoxplirjbl* vibrations and axle breakages occurred tins after tiro which Professor Juaiars ordered us to Investigate, and with vhich u* wore occupied for wn'ha Pot less than four oen, all exporleoced and trlod pilots of the firstr and outstanding engineers, died in these experiments. It vac clear to us thatt-tuMiM could produce tho direct uplift of tbo cylinder. However, since wn-vhile rore pro so log problems awaited solution, oxporinents vith this typo of oir-craft were interrupted,

Tbo attaching of speedily rotating tope assures ai'lo stability, There le olso the possibility of attaching horiiontaly propollere of lha holicopter typo.
