Various Austrian Post-war Aircraft Projects

Unidentified Austrian Experimental Glider (Nurflügler or "Flying Wing")

Below is a photo taken recently at the Fahrzeug Technik Luftfahrt Museum at Lauffen near Bad Ischl Austria of an unusual glider.

Does anyone know the constuctor? Neither the museum information sheets nor the book source specify the maker by name - just Nurflügler Experimental.

Details:

Nurflügler (Wing Aircraft) Glider (@1965)

Flying wing - Built in the 1960's this glider aircraft was used for testing gliding properties.

A high rudder with the controls actuated by shifting body weight. The pilot was required to remain in a kneeling position.

The start was made with a winch or by towing with a helicopter to the required height. Although the Nurflugler had good flying characteristics, the wind start was not without some danger for the pilot.

Unidentified Austrian Homebuilt Helicopter

Below are some helicopter photographs taken recently at the museum at Lauffen . The exhibit had no associated caption or signage to indicate its origins.

This type should not be confused with the earlier Austrian military helicopter/gyrocopter which was displayed in the museum for some years, the "Einmann Hubschrauber Prototyp" or "One-man Helicopter Prototype", OE-HWK (see last image).

Does anyone know the constructor of this helicopter?

This example is more basic and appears to have a car exhaust system and very rudimentary controls.

I hope someone is able to help!
