    Dornier WIG Projects

    Triggered by the Lippisch developments, that were tested with the X-113 on Lake Constance, Dornier started research in that field during the 1970s, too, called "Stauflügelgerät" (. One project for a commercial transport was the P.477 for up to 27 passengers. Another one, designation unknown...

    Euromissile HOT

    Some interesting snippets of could-have-beens about HOT as I slowly work my way through the COMHART volume on anti-tank weapons http://www.scribd.com/doc/38606186/COMHART-T10-Armements-antichars-missiles-guides-et-non-guides-France-2008. 1. Initially the booster motor exhausted through two...

    EPHAG

    German project to develop a guided anti-helicopter round for main battle tanks. I stumbled on the SIGNAL article while I was looking for something completely different, so forgive me for just posting the results of a quick google. http://www.afcea.org/content/?q=node/664 It was also covered in...

    German Postwar Airship projects

    Nearly forgotten, another project is mentioned, from a company not really known for producing airships: At the beginning of the '70s, the Dornier AG had drawn projects for a passenger and a cargo carrying airship. Those studies were ordered by the "Flugschiffbau Hamburg GmbH", without precise...

    German 1983 Light Weight Fighter in a 2010 Cassidian presentation

    Found a single engine delta wing fighter in a presentation by Cassidian. http://www.aeroafrica-eu.org/download/present_09_dec2010.pdf Could it be Dornier's new light fighter design for India in 1984? The missiles look like the French Magic 2 used by the Indian air force.

    British alternative to NATO INF (Cruise and Polaris)

    The more I read about the nuclear politics of the 60s defence decisions the more I am astonished at the annoying involvement of the Germans. It seems that from joining NATO onwards they either agitated to have their own fingers on the nuclear trigger, or later, as put by Helmut Schmidt, they...

    RFB RF-1 Channel Wing STOL touring

    From an Australian what-ifer attempt to build a model of it (see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,21379.1080.html ) I added comment: "In JAWA 1964-65, there is only (without picture): 'Development of the RFB RF 1 STOL touring aircraft, described in previous editions of Jane's, has...

    UK and FRG cooperation (Not the MBT 80, Challenger etc)

    I thought it might be helpful to tease out this aspect from the British centric discussion. Originally the West Germans intended to replace their M48s with the MBT 70, a joint production with the United States which ground to a halt because of complexity and high cost. German sources on the...

    Wegmann Tank Projects

    While searching patents for French tanks, found this German tank design put forth by Wegmann. I've attached the tank image from the patent as well as the patent itself. Did Wegmann ever build it or did it remain a patent design only?

    MBB projects

    Found that profiles at my old mags. (Aviation & Marine International Sept. 1979) The quality is awful (it can hurt your eyes) as it was a second hand magazine and I had no choice to get a better copy. Could any of our German members post decent drawings and brief data of the Bo 125? And can...
