Do you know about a Gustav Koch or Kochs (the final s maybe the desinence of german possesive form) who designed a cross between Eole and Stippa's flying barrel ?

thanks

Gustav Koch was born in Salzburg in 1843
He lived in Munich
Designed during the early 80' model planes , a dirigeable,and a glider which was to be towered to hight by a baloon .
Later he designed the "Turbinenflugzeug " more exactly a " fan" propeller .
In 1896 he designed a " 3 pair of wings ,tandem "with 4 propeller
In 1890 he designed a cabine flying boatpropelled by A "Schaufelrad " (I don't know the word in english,Cyclogire in french )
None was built.

Thank you very much . That's the turbinen flugzeug and the cyclogyre I am most interested in. Is it possible to have more data realting to this projects. I have a 2-view of the T-Flugzeug but none of the Cyclogyre. And nothing regarding exact dates , dimensionnal and expected performance data and the cause of non-building them ?

sincerely

JCC

Sorry, I don't know much more
I must add that G.Koch designed two cyclogires one land,one sea launched
I guess that the lack ol money was the cause of not building those very interrescent projects
Bonne journée
Richard

Put them on the site if you think they may interrest others members .

Searching for another subject on the Deutsche Patent Office server, I find this Patent n°73603 dated March the 29th, 1892, describing Koch's cyclogyre.
