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. A copy of his original treatise is shown and then opened to its table of contents. Another of his books,"wege zur Raumschiffahrt" (Pathways to Space Travel) published in 1929, is shown and opened to its table of contents.
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.
4 men ride in a Czech jet boat which moves at a high speed in the water.
A Czech jet boat, designed by Ludvik Ocenasek ,operating only on jets, without steering rudder or propeller. Water jets are attached to the side of the speed boat. The boat moves at a high speed and is completely maneuverable. Brief view of "space rockets" that American Robert Condit believes could "fly to Venus."
Tribute to rocket pioneers. Images of German rocket researchers appear. Various types of research and applications
Tribute to rocket pioneers. Pictures of German rocket scientists appear.Research in powder and fluid rocket engines. Two men push rocket powder in a hole with a stick. Views of exploding fireworks displays and use of powder in wartime rockets and artillery shells and munitions. Photo-rocket and signal rocket. Two men in a field put a signal rocket in a launch tube. The end of rocket is tied to a fuse cord that remains outside the tube. The fuse is ignited and the rocket launches. It rises up and releases signal smoke. Men wearing safety jackets arrange a rocket on hillside. A line is tied on a rocket. A ship in distress. The rocket is fired. It rises up with the line and reaches the ship. Rope line released from a roll.
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.
Gerhard Zucker and others attempting to develop postal rockets in the 1930s.
Slate refers to efforts to overcome problems with compressed powder rockets. A large crowd is gathered to watch a demonstration of a Zucker mail rocket. Gerhard Zucker walks ahead and left of Several uniformed Brown Shirts, AKA Nazi Stormtrooper (Sturmabteilung) as they carry a large rocket down some stairs at a beach. Uniformed Hitler youth (Hitlerjugend) are also seen in the crowd of spectators. A cinematographer sets up his camera on structure near the water. Next, the rocket is seen set upon its inclined launching stand as Zucker makes ready the four rockets on each side of the large mail carrier. Closeup of Zucker doing this as another person deposits mail through a door atop the rocket body. Scene shifts to the Wadden Sea off Cuxhaven,on April 9, 1933, where Zucker follows Nazi Stormtroopers carrying the mail rocket across wet sands. Spectators stand shoulder-to-shoulder atop a hill in the background.Zucker standing alone next to the rocket. He and an assistant ignite the 8 side rockets and the mail rocket takes off. But, instead of heading straight, it noses up and loops over backwards, falling to the sand. Stormtroopers lift up the damaged device. Later, Zucker is seen designing a launch with concentric guide rings. He made several attempts in 1934 and 1935, to convince British Royal Mail officials of the viability of rocket mail. He is seen in the last attempt on the Isle of Wight, in January, 1935, standing by his rocket, surrounded by English spectators. His launch stand with concentric rings is clearly seen. He places mail in the rocket body and drops it down through the rings on the launch stand, ignites it and it appears to take off smoothly.(It actually failed.)
