  Lippisch Delta IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Lippisch's Delta IV was a continuation of his work on delta wing designs pioneered in his Delta I, Delta II and Delta III aircraft.
The result was a highly unorthodox design, sporting large delta wings, canards, and an engine and propeller mounted in both the nose and tail of the plane.
Lippisch continued to believe that the problems were surmountable, and found an ally in Professor Walter Georgii of the DFS (Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug - German Research Institute for Sailplane Flight).

 Flying Wings : An Anthology : Alexander Martin Lippisch (1894 - 1976)
Alexander Martin Lippisch was born on 2 November 1894 in Munich, Germany, the son of Franz and Clara (Commichau) Lippisch.
Lippisch decided that this would only be possible by making the wing near the body longer, and this is how he arrived at the delta shaped wing.
Lippisch's methodical, step-by-step experiments had been quite successful with the Storch series, but the Storch was merely a foundation for further efforts to build a pure, all-wing aircraft.

Following the war, Lippisch worked with the Zeppelin Company, and it was at this time that he first became interested in tail-less aircraft.
Lippisch’s work led to a series of tail-less designs numbered Storch I – Storch IX between 1927 and 1933 (these were not related to the successful Fieseler Storch STOL aircraft of WW2).

 Wikipedia: DFS 40
The DFS 40 (originally developed as the Delta V) was a tail-less research aircraft designed by Alexander Lippisch in 1937 as a follow-on to his Delta IV aircraft.
The DFS 40 was flown for the first time by Heini Dittmar in 1939, shortly before Lippisch departed the DFS (Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug - German Research Institute for Sailplane Flight) to begin work at Messerschmitt.
Soon afterwards, without Lippisch there to supervise the project, the aircraft was crashed due to an error in center of gravity calculations that resulted in it entering a flat spin during flight.

 Alexander Lippisch
During his service with the German Army from 1915 1918, Lippisch had the chance to fly as an aerial photographer and mapper.
Lippischs work led to a series of tail-less designs numbered Storch I Storch IX between 1927 and 1933.
In early 1939, the Reichsluftfahrtsministerium (RLM) (Reich Aviation Ministry) transferred Lippisch and his team to work at the Messerschmitt factory to design a high-speed fighter aircraft around the rocket engines then under development by Hellmuth Walter.

The delta-wing is a wing planform in the form of a triangle, named after the Greek uppercase delta (letter) which is a triangle (Δ).
Among the first engineers to use delta wings in their projects was the 17th century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth inventor, Kazimierz Siemienowicz.
While this is also true of highly swept wings, the delta´s planform carries across the entire aircraft, allowing it to be built much more strongly than a swept wing, where the spar meets the fuselage far in front of the center of gravity.

Meanwhile, the German engineer Alexander Lippisch achieved, in 19331, the ‘Delta 1’ aircraft considered to be the first engine air vehicle of the ‘flying wing’ type which were flying effectively.
In spite of all the successes obtained by the ‘Stable-plane’ Type IV on the occasion of all aviation contests it took part between 1934-1935, in the autumn of 1935 the authorities prohibited the flight of this Romanian conception vehicle.
The ‘Stable-plane’ Type IV and its creator, Filip Mihail, are honored in today’s history of the Romanian aeronautics.

Convair had on their side made some tests of delta wings with their P-92 prototype, and with the assistance of Lippisch, work on P-92 was continued and led to the first prototype of plane with a purely delta wing, Convair XF-9À (left), that first flew in 1949.
He was the first to wonder whether a triangular wing, a "delta" wing, had interesting qualities, and it proved after the war that the answer was in the positive.

The Convair F-106A Delta Dart is regarded by many as being the finest all-weather interceptor ever built.
This work had been performed in consulation with Dr. Alexander Lippisch, who had done pioneering work in Germany on delta-winged aircraft during the war, and Convair had become convinced that the delta configuration provided a viable solution to the problems of supersonic flight.
The last Delta Dart-equipped Air Force squadron, the 119th FIS based at Atlantic City, New Jersey flew its final alert duty on July 7, 1988.

The J-8I resembled a scaled-up MiG-21 (J-7), with a tailed delta configuration powered by two engines fed from a single annular nose intake, carrying radar in the centrebody cone (it resembled Mikoyan's experimental Ye-152A, although, contrary to some early reports, it was not based on that aircraft).
It was a ramjet-powered, sharply swept delta, with the cockpit built into the tail fin.
One star indicates a type that existed only as one or more prototypes and never entered service; two stars indicate a type that never left the drawing board; three stars indicate that the number was never assigned at all (as far as I could determine).

Terry Kidd and Charlie Jeffreys (who is responsible for the nice pun in the heading) have taken me to task on the subject of tailed deltas.
By ‘tailed deltas’ I meant designs that fulfilled Dr Lippisch’s criteria but had a horizontal tail appended in what appears to be a ‘belt and braces’ afterthought.
Though this is a ‘true delta’ with a reflex wing, it is, (as was the early Wilmot Mansour Avro 707B, the first delta kit on the market), spoiled by large amounts of redundant dihedral.

Alexander Lippisch's most famous design will always be the Me 163 Komet, but before rocketing to fame, he was a pioneer in glider design and the design of tailless aircraft.
The Storch series were high wing monoplanes with sweepback and evolved from gliders to powered machines into the Delta series.
The Delta designs began Lippisch's work on all wing airplanes and included the Delta I, II, III and IV (DFS 39), as well as the futuristic DFS 40 and reaching its apex with the Lippisch DM-1 which in turn influenced the F-102 and F-106 delta-wing fighters.

Lippisch was a pioneer in the development of delta winged aircraft and his work eventually led to the XF-92, F-102, F-106 and B-58 in the US and the Mirage III, IV, and V in France.
The P.13a was on of his initial designs, so you could say this is the granddaddy of all those other aircraft.
The end result is a very small, easy to build and interesting 'what if' kit.

HJ, sounds good to me......it's been a few years since I paid to go in, the airshow is basically all around us for weeks before and after the show, they practice over my house [that's when I have sent up a streamered plane to join in].
There was a serious looking highly tapered Lippisch style one with a little flat four in it way back in the 50's that I remember.
I suspect that a factor is the deep stall charactaristics of the delta planform.

This aircraft was a fighter that assumed it put on the speed at 1000 km/h or more with a ram jet engine.
For shape, It equips with a large-scale delta wing that draws a triangle, and the cockpit is built into the fin and rudder with the thickness.
Because some speed is necessary for the ram jet by the time thrust is obtained, It was scheduled to take off by using the rocket motor.

In reference to the aforementioned parameters, the scientist has discovered the optimal amounts with which a solution of hydrogen peroxide can catalytically decompose to generate enough heat to vaporize the surrounding water, and thus produce a “genie effect” of gaseous water rushing out of the neck of a 2 liter or 20 oz.
The most effective reaction was produced when 0.75 to 1.22 g of manganese (IV) oxide was used to catalyze the decomposition of 3.48 M or 12% hydrogen peroxide.
The primary concern with the Lippisch design is that the speed needed to take off is considerably higher than the cruising speed.

The prototype was built largely from salvaged parts, including an He 177 fuselage, and was powered by four turbojets, one under each wing and one on either side of the nose; planned versions included several different arrangements of two, four, or six engines.
Results were "disappointing", but led eventually to the successful delta wing concept.
