Still pictures and comments about Aviation pioneers who stimulated interest in propulsion methods.

Still pictures and comments about three pioneers who stimulated international thinking about rocketry. The first shown is German, Hermann Ganswindt (1856-1934), who proposed using high explosives to propel aircraft. Next is Russian, Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, AKA Ziolkowsky, (1857-1935), some of whose popular writings on the possiblilities of rocket propulsion are shown. Last is a picture and comments about Austro-Hungarian Hermann J Oberth (1894-1989) who developed the first theory of the liquid rocket.

First practical attempts to use rockets for propulsion.

The German Ente (duck), world’s first rocket-powered airplane. Designed by Alexander Lippisch as a sailplane, it was purchased by Fritz von Opel who equipped it with rockets. It is seen with Opel painted on its fuselage, in its first rocket-powered flight on June 11, 1928 (flown by Fritz Stamer). In a slate, Adolf Hitler is quoted to the effect that : One cannot achieve what one cannot first imagine. A slate refers to the inadquate resources and consequent difficulties of early experimenters. Men help Prince Michalikais, with his "invention", in New York, where he attempts to propel himself with rockets while on ice skates. He wears a board on his back equipped with rockets. On first attempt, the rockets burn without propelling him and associates throw snow on his back to extinguish any fire. On next attempt, rockets fire but he loses his balance and falls.

The First "gyro aircraft" concept used by Reinhold Tiling to brake descent of his recoverable rockets.

Karl Poggensee and Reinhold Tiling demonstrate the workings of their first 1929 model of a so-called gyro aircraft, employing tilted wings that cause autorotation to slow the descent of a rocket and facilitate its recovery. Animated sequence shows how a rocket would be recovered in this manner. A man holding up a similar rocket. He is surrounded by spectators.
