Reinhold Tiling's pioneering work with solid (compressed powder) post office rockets, in Germany
Reinhold Tiling working with his coworker, Karl Poggensee,at his workshop in Arenshorst, Germany, where he developed compressed powder fuel for his post office rocket. View of hydraulic press Tiling made himself, inside the workshop. Several photos of the buildings, workshop, and schematic drawings. Rocket being tested on stand outside the shop. Diagrams of test result data. Interior of the workshop with several model rockets, in 1929. Diagram of the rocket showing how fins extend to allow undamaged return of the rocket to earth. Picture of the first rocket successfully launched in 1928, showing its fin-wings extended.
Reinhold Tiling's 120 cm powder fueled rockets test fired in 1929
Testing of Reinhold Tiling's 120 cm model rocket in July, 1929, at Arenshorst and on August 29, 1929, in a demonstration for the Navy, at Meppen, Germany.
The first German Post office mail rocket is successfully tested at Dummersee, Germany, on April 15,1931.
Successful test of the first German Post office mail rocket at Dummersee, Germany, on April 15,1931. It carries 180 pieces of mail (postcards). Reinhold Tiling is seen with his mechanic, Friedrich Kuhr, who holds the rocket, as Tiling inserts a cylinder containing compressed powder fuel. They then invert the rocket and Tiling affixes its nose cone. A post office official hands pieces of mail to Tiling, who places them into the rocket. They position the rocket on its launch stand and fire it. Uniformed Postal officials (and some military officers) watch the rocket as it rises smoothly after launch. Larger, better, and lighter metal (aluminum) are developed in 1931-32. Friedrich Kuhr standing next to a huge rocket with a wing span of 4 meters.
German engineer, Reinhold Tilling, conducts the first successful mail-rocket flight, on Dümmersee near Osnabrück,Germany
Men carefully move a Tiling mail rocket from a boat on a canal, handing it up to others on shore. Row boats are seen in the canal and sailboats on the lake (Dümmersee) in the background. The rocket is carefully carried with fins folded and placed on the ground. Reinhold Tiling with his assistant Angela Buddenboehmer, and his mechanic Friedrich Kuhr, prepare the rocket for launch. View of rocket, being held,sitting on its nose. In next scene, the rocket is placed on its launch pole,in the marsh, behind a man sitting in a boat.The launch team raises the rocket. In next scene,viewed at a safe distance, the rocket emits smoke, rises rapidly, and slowly turns toward the lake (Dümmersee). Next, the rocket is seen on the surface of the lake with its wings open, as the team, standing in a boat, recovers it. A completely new sequence begins on Sunday, August 21, 1932,with more rocket launches at Atterheide-Osnabrück. Several Tiling rockets are seen laid out on the ground, with their wings opened. Closeup of a single rocket. Still photographs of show a rocket early in launch and another of rocket curving away later in the flight.
Reinhold Tiling's recoverable rocket demonstrated at Tempelhof airdrome in 1932.
View of the Tempelhof airfield. One of Reinhold Tiling's recoverable rockets is fired and rises high above the field. As its fuel is exhausted, it levels off and begins to glide down to earth on its extended fin-wings. Tiling, his assistant Angela Buddenboehmer, and his mechanic Friedrich Kuhr, examine and pick up the recovered rocket as official observers gather around them. Tiling and his team pose, with the revovered rocket, for cameramen and reporters, Closeup of the rocket as Tiling touches the expended fuel cylinder. They then unfold fins and Tiling explains their function to reporters. Tiling and his team carefully raise another rocket on its launch frame at a different location, on sand dunes.Angela Buddenboehmer sits on the sand with the launch control as Tiling gives her the signal to close the circuit. The rocket fires and rises rapidly until its fuel burns out, when it begins to glide down on its wings.
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.
