Aeronautical Research in Germany From Lilienthal until Today

Aeronautical Research in Germany From Lilienthal until Today / by Ernst Heinrich Hirschel, Horst Prem, Gero Madelung.

From the pioneering glider flights of Otto Lilienthal (1891) to the advanced avionics of today’s Airbus, aeronautical research in Germany has been at the forefront of the birth and advancement of aeronautics. On the occasion of the centennial commemoration of the Wright Brother’s first powered fligh...
