Rohrbach`s Projects - Luftfahrt International 20

[Wurger]

Hi guys,

just found this reference to an article on Adolf Rohrbach`s paper planes. It is titled "Die Flugzeugprojekte Adolf Rohrbachs", published in Luftfahrt International 20, 1977, pages 3133-3136. Does anyone own this magazine? Would that member be a sport and publish it?

Luftfahrt International featured the article "Rohrbach Landflugzeug Projekt Type 1087 (Verkehr)"
(Rohrbach landplane project type 1087a (passenger a/c)).
Is it the article, you're looking for ?

Hi Jens,

if this is the only Rohrbach project in the article, I`m afraid I already know about it.

Here is the article.

As quite a good source about Adolf Rohrbach, although not containing many projects,
you certainly know this site, don't you ?

Thanks for your kind help, I already knew both the pdf and the paper plane. There is much to be told about Rohrbach. This "konstrukteur" and his work remains much of a mistery to me.

Kurt Tank worked years for Rohrbach. A section of Wolfgang Wagner's 'Kurt Tank - Konstrukteur und Testpilot bei Focke-Wulf' deals with Tank's stay there.

Bookfinder might give you a better deal.

Found my copy of Wagner's book, it has 21 pages on Kurt Tank's stay with Rohrbach. PDF in a few days.
