Focke Rochen

The Focke rays is the name of a type of aircraft, the aircraft builder Henrich Focke began to develop from 1944 onwards. Some of the design also Focke-Wulf aircraft or Quick Focke-Wulf VTOL is called. After tests in the wind tunnel Focke reported in 1957 a patent on it. The name skate wearing it after its flat design. Structurally, it is attributable to two specific types of aircraft:

  • Ringflügler, a ring-shaped flying wing, so an aircraft, in which there is no differentiation between the wings and fuselage. The necessary stability for the flight about the longitudinal and transverse axis is produced by the wing itself.
  • VTOL, a whiz, which was hitherto only tested as a model airplane.

With the help of a central Koaxialrotors is provided for vertical take-off. The aircraft did not progress beyond the pilot stage.
