From Jet & Prop 6/2008,


here is the Ludger Volpert aircraft and projects,at first he designed a three
strange light aircraft,powered by small engines,then he followed by two
sporting projects,he also design a large transatlantic flying boat project,
displayed before by my dear Wurger here;

Hi,

The brothers H. and B. von Römer, engineers and well-known technical illustrators in the thirties and fifties of the last century, created an impression
of what the Volpert transocean project could have looked like. Unfortunately
they took a relatively large amount of "artistic freedom" when designing
the picture, because the machine depicted gave way in several points from
the side view shown above:
The tail unit had a completely different shape, the wing was not sitting
directly on the fuselage, the fuselage height was too small in the Roman drawing, and the raft stubs added to the underside of the hull would
certainly have led to a patent dispute with Dornier! The drive system
was completely misrepresented: At Volpert, the fans did not run open
in circular wing sections, but were completely covered and sucked in
the air Slots on the top of the wing. One almost has to assume that the
Roman brothers were the essence of Volpert's idea had not understood
about wing propulsion.
