| Series 7 | Aerodynes | 1952-1976, n.d. |
| extent: | 25 boxes | |
| description: | The series contains documents that pertain to Aerodynes and other remotely powered vehicles (RPVs). Testing data and correspondence are located in the series. Box 36 contains letters written by Lippisch to West German companies about producing aerodynes, a concept that did not reach fruition in the United States. 34 articles authored by Dr. Lippisch are also documented in the series. The series also includes undated material of DCG-numbered series photographs, undated photographs of drawings, charts, and graphs and models and smoke flow tests. Undated concept papers and presentation texts complete this series. | |
