  Dornier Do 11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was originally called the Dornier F before being renamed by the RLM in 1933 and was considered a heavy bomber at the time.
One of the main features the Do 11 tested was a retractable undercarriage, but, due to problems with it, it was often left locked down.
The Do 23 corrected many faults, but was still a lackluster aircraft, and was withdrawn from service by 1936 and replaced by superior aircraft that had been developed.

Bätcher, who was 31 years old when the war ended, had a singular career that paralleled the rapid development of the aircraft he flew into the record books.
He began in the open cockpit of a twin-engine Dornier Do-23--which he considered a "barge"--and ended the war at the controls of the world's first jet bomber, the Arado Ar-234.
Bätcher's career, although outstanding by any standard, was largely a reflection of the wartime requirements imposed on German bomber pilots in comparison with their Allied counterparts.

 Space Suits
At 5,500 m, the atmosphere is half as dense as it is on the ground, and at altitudes above 12.000 m, air is so thin and the amount of oxygen so small that pressure oxygen masks no longer do the job.
Above the 19,000 m threshold, humans must wear spacesuits that supply oxygen for breathing and that maintain a pressure around the body to keep body fluids in the liquid state.
The AX-3 was an 0.5 bar suit, 23 kg, 0.5 to 0.7 bar operational pressure, with improved mobility and was completed in 1977.
