Blohm & Voss Patents

Hi,


a various of Blohm und Voss patents.

Part 1: In this, we should also include the aircraft division's former name of Hamburger Flugzeugbau. Espacenet has available thirty-two BV/HFB patents prior to the end of WWII, identifiable by the inventor as their Chief Designer Richard Vogt. Quite a few are small engineering gadgets, but there are some livelier aeroplane configurations among them. They also include a scattering of duplicate patents in other countries, mainly the UK and US:

Part 2: Espacenet being what it is, "Vogt Richard" must be done as a separate query (a single suitably complex query confuses its search algorithms, boy they have some bugs in there). That brings up 16 results, most by other Richard Vogts in the US and Switzerland. However some are by the B&V designer, including a couple of French duplicates:

[NEST OF DRAGONS]

A RC-model maker made the asymmetric seaplane. It flew. No problem with that. But it was impossible to take off from water.

Taking off from the water requires some piloting skill regardless of the design and construction of the aircraft. Grumman HU-16 Albatross once told me that there is a moment of takeoff when the plane behaves like a surfboard, and it is necessary to take advantage of a wave to overcome the suction of the water.
