KÖZLEMÉNYEK - Winkler László: A magyar repülőtechnika 50 éve (1916–1966) (II. rész)

Besondere Aufmerksamkeit soll unter den Plänen von Rubik den Metallkonstruktionen mit Wellenoberflächen, Typ Rubik gewidmet sein, die mit aerodynamisch-statischer Zweckmässigkeit ausgebildet sind. Zum Schluss fasst die Publikation die neuen ungarischen Konstruktionen ab 1948 zusammen, erwähnt die Umstände der Verwirklichung und legt die bisher erbauten Maschinen am Gebiete der Hubschrauberexperimente dar. Die Publikation befasst sich mit den ungarischen Flugzeugkonstruktionen bis 1966, und wie der Verfasser in der Einleitung schreibt, bittet er um den Beistand der Leser, ihm die fehlenden Daten, die eventuell zur Verfügung stehen, einzuschicken. 50 YEARS OF HUNGARIAN AERONAUTICS (1916- 1966) The publication informs us about industrially riped aeronautic constructions, although we already know about 80 Hungarian aeronautic constructions, built by individual initiatives, in earlier times. There were produced in Hungarian aircraft factories, at Aszód and Albertfalva, already such original constructions in 1916, which were definitively introduced in the army of the Dual-Monarchy, and produced in series. This publication summarizes the new constructions of UFAG, Albertfalva and Lloyd, Aszód from this period. After the first world war the Neuschloss-Lichtig Repülőgépgyár és Faipari R.T. (N.L. aircraft factory and wood industry Co.), as a successor of UFAG continues aircraft production and builds in small series Szebeny-, later Oravetz-type training planes. Lajos Rotter started an active work in developing of Hungarian aeroplane constructions at the beginning of the 1920's. He deserved attention already as a student of the Technical University with several original constructions and other specified aviation works. The aircraft building company, FEHIO (Feigl-Rotter), founded with his participation, produced high-wing airliners in two alternatives in 1923. This type became general for a timein commercial planes, and is used by many touring-planes to-day too. The same company constructed the type „Dongó", a training plane with „glider wing system" having adjacent seats which contains many innovations on world scale, too. The publication further discusses the activity of Lajos Rotter as a constructor of gliders representing the types „Vándor", „Karakán" and „Nemere", the world record holder. The first constructions of Hungarian gliders are elaborated by Sándor Svachulay and Zoltán Janka. The latter one gives many important constructions with a substantial engineering work to the Hungarian gliding. In 1926 the Légügyi Hivatal (Air-Office) builds a central aircraft repair plant in Székesfehérvár-Sóstó, which is developing — besides repairing — with guidance of Sándor Lóczy in the construction, types of the first world war, producing later on in series the type „Hungária", a training plane. In 1932 the same factory produces on the basis of the plans of the engineers Előd Anderlik, László Varga and István Liszt a fighter-training plane with one seat, of 420 HP, completely of steel-tube construction. Three alternatives of this type, called AVIS, were built. The Weiss Manfred factory from 1927 also starts aeroplane production and develops 14 original constructions from 1930 on. The publication gives details of these concerning the types: WM-10 „Ölyv"; WM-15 „Hoff liner"; WM-16 „Budapest"; WM-18; WM-20; WM-21 „Sólyom" and WM-23. The WM-16 and WM-21 were remodelled from the Fokker CV plane. As the closing of the first publication the types „Héjjá" and „Nebuló" of MÁV AG, Budapest are presented. Introducing the second publication we find informations about the work of the Club for Amateur Flying of the Technical University of Budapest. After the description of the planes of Árpád Lampich

: „Mama kedvence", „Roma" the world record holder, „Bohóc" we obtain detailed informations about the joint construction activity of Antal Bánhidi and Árpád Lampich, followed by the representation of the characteristics of the worldwide famous plane of Bánhidi, the „Gerle". In the early thirties there is a decline in constructions and only from 1934 on, chiefly upon the initiative of Ernő Rubik, the construction work is started again, but at this time with the help of modern experiment instruments, the new constructions are already streamlined and of closed cabins. Similarly within the club work more successful glider types are built (Emese, M-20, M-22). In this work Endre Jancsó and József Szegedi took a great part.
