R.Widmoser Strange Light Aircraft Projects of 1936

Hi,


here is a two light aircraft project from 1936,R. Widmoser designed the RW-8 single
seat and RW-6 two seat light and touring aircraft,with very weird shape.

"We publish this article to show the ideas of contructors without taking a stand:
R. Widmoser, Innsbruck/Austria, proposed to shape the fuselage as an enlarged
section of the wing to increase performance. By using retractable landing gear aerodynamic
cleanness can be achieved and fitting flaps would allow for a higher wing loading, so
smaller dimensions would be possible"

To me, that seems more like a suggestion, maybe not even a patented one. Today we
may speak of a blended wing body ? Not sure, that this idea wasn't already patended
back then.

My dear Jemiba,


I think this designer had a group of series,and maybe there were a projects not a
patents,and we see a numbers,certainly began with number 1 and up to 8,or
probably more,and I will check a bout him.
