Cyclogyros Aircraft

[southwestforests]

Schaufelrad is the type of propulsion (" Lifting rotor ") , and Ernst Zenzem (or Zeuzem?) is the designer .

Looking at those attached images has me thinking that if I had the health and the wealth it would be fun to make a movie just to feature that aircraft.

and I think my dear Scott displayed them before,but where ?.

The Strandgren "paddle-wheeler" was mentioned before, but here is an article about it from Popular Aviation, May 1934:

Titan might be the one place with thick atmosphere and lighter gravity where a rover whose wheels are also propellers might work…but that’s pushing it.

Proof that even back in 1934, the Flettner rotor cylinders were seen by some as a bit of a joke.
I especially like the phrase: "it just goes to show that trick photography is not dead yet." They had no idea!!!

Hello,

Does anyone have more information on the defunct Bosch Aerospace Cyclorotor concept? I'd be interested in finding out more about it, it seems to be a very peculiar project that peaked my interest. Are there any specifications, dimensions, performance? Is there anyone that was previously involved in the project? Thank you!

Here is what I have. You should be able to find specs in the PDF.

I published a detailed history of Strandgren cyclogyro projects and tests in French magazine "Le Trait d'Union" 249 in January-February 2010.
I attach Strangren project drawing, and photos of tests: big installation at Lioré et Olivier Argenteuil factory, as well as the installation of Strandgren rotary wing to replace Breguet 14 wings at Saint-Cyr.
