	Alexander Lippisch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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).
		Lippisch P.11, designed to compete with the Horten Ho-IX; the latter went on to become the Horten (Gotha) Ho-(Go-)229.
		Lippisch P.13b, a unique airplane powered by a rotating fuel-table of lignite, owing to the fuel shortages late in World War 2 in Germany.

	Lippisch Ente - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was designed by Alexander Lippisch as a sailplane and first flown under power on June 11, 1928, piloted by Fritz Stamer.
		In March 1928, the three men visited the Wasserkuppe, a mountain that had become the focus of German gliding, to investigate the possibility of fitting rockets to an aircraft.
		Lippisch was able to demonstrate how models of his aircraft would fly with small rockets installed in them.

	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.

	Lippisch Ente
		It was adapted from the Ente (German for "duck") sailplane that had been designed by Alexander Lippische.
		In March 1928, car-maker Fritz von Opel, pyrotechnics manufacturer Friedrich Sander, and rocketry advocate Max Valier visited the Wasserkuppe, a mountain that had become the focus of German gliding, to look into the possibility of fitting rockets to an aircraft.
		Stamer was nevertheless able to bring it down from a height of around 20 meters (65 ft) before abandoning the Ente, which was burned beyond any hope of salvage.

	Alexander Lippisch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Alexander Martin Lippisch (November 2, 1894 - February 11, 1976) was a German pioneer of aerodynamics who made important contributions to the understanding of flying wings and ground effect craft.
		Following the war, Lippisch worked for a while with the Zeppelin Company, and it was at this time that he first became interested in tail-less aircraft.
		Wind tunnel research in 1939 had suggested that the delta wing was a good choice for supersonic flight and Lippisch set to work designing a supersonic, ramjet-powered fighter, the Lippisch P-13.

		Heartened by the first flight of the Ente and not dismayed by the second, von Opel immediately contracted with Julius Hatry for a specialized rocket plane.
		Hatry, a glider builder and regular at the Wasserkuppe gliding competitions, was engaged at the time in building the Mü 3 “Kakadu.” With a span of 65 feet, it was the largest sailplane yet built.
		With a wingspan of 36 feet and length of 16 feet, the new aircraft had a conventional high-aspect-ratio glider wing and twin rudders mounted on booms that lifted the tailplane well out of the line of rocket thrust.

		The performance of the He 176 was not spectacular, but it did provide "proof of concept" for rocket propulsion.
		During the 1920s, German daredevils had experimented with using solid-fuel rockets to propel cars, motorcycles, railway carriages, snow sleds, and, by 1929, aircraft such as Alexander Lippisch’s Ente and Fritz von Opel’s RAK.1.
		Solid-fuel rockets, however, have major disadvantages when used for aircraft propulsion, as their thrust cannot be regulated, and the engines cannot be shut down once fired.

		On a mission to gather weather data, he installed various instruments on his Alexander Lippisch built "Fafnir" model 272 glider and was towed to altitude by a powered aircraft piloted by another famous pilot, Peter Reidel.
		In January 1946 Lippisch was brought to The United States as a part of Operation Paper Clip, a War Department program.
		Lippisch died in Cedar Rapids, Iowa 11 February 1976.

		In late 1925, when he was 31, Lippisch had been put in charge of the technical department for aerodynamic research and glider design at the Forschungsinstitut (Research Institute) of the Rhon-Rossitten-Gesellschaft (RRG) on the Wasserkuppe in the Rhon Mountains of Thuringen, southeast of Kassel.
		Lippisch's partnership with Stamer became permanently sealed, as it were, when in 1926 he married Kate, Fritz's sister.
		One of the principal features of the Lippisch configuration was the elimination of any danger of backburning by the rockets; the Grasmucke was originally to have had a specially protective steel plate in front of its tail and in the general path of the exhaust.

		Lippisch's early and continuing work on tailless, swept and Delta wing aircraft was to make possible ultra-high speed flight.
		Developed also by Boeing (307 Stratoliner, Dec 31, 1938) this innovation was to make high altitude flight more comfortable and more practical.

		Following his lead were such luminaries as Alexander Lippisch, Reimar and Walter Horten, and John Northrop.
		The now-familiar delta configuration appeared in Lippisch designs, and was used extensively by many manufacturers, including Convair and Dassault.
		The low-aspect-ratio Kitchen "Doughnut," flown in Chicago in 1911, was followed by the Arup, and Charles H. Zimmerman's Chance Vought V-173 and Chance XF5U-1.

		The Germans developed rocket planes -- the Lippisch Ente and the Messerschmitt Me 163 Bs and Cs -- along with jet engines during World War II.
		These planes reached speeds of 600 miles per hour (966 km/h), just under the speed of sound.
