The Fl 282 Kolibri was an improved version of the Flettner Fl 265 announced in July 1940, which pioneered the same intermeshing rotor configuration that the Kolibri used. It had a 7.7 litre displacement, seven-cylinder Siemens-Halske Sh 14 radial engine of 110–120 kW (150–160 hp) mounted in the center of the fuselage, with a transmission mounted on the front of the engine from which a ...
Six helicopters were constructed, but series production was curtailed in favour of the Flettner Fl 282. [1] In 1939 the helicopter was tested by test pilot Richard Perlia. A second test pilot alongside Perlia unfortunately had a fatal accident during a test flight. [2]
The Buckau, the first vehicle to be propelled by a Flettner rotor. A Flettner rotor is a smooth cylinder with disc end plates which is spun along its long axis and, as air passes at right angles across it, the Magnus effect causes an aerodynamic force to be generated in the direction perpendicular to both the long axis and the direction of airflow.

The 'Flettner double rotor' (Sheetintermeshing rotor) is a propulsion system for helicopter, the two rotors used their axes in a low angle tilted against each other. The first helicopter, which this after its developer Anton Flettner notified principle used was in only 6 copies built Flettner Fl 265, the captain of flight Richard Perlia May ...
Flettner Gigant - Experimental helicopter; Anton Flettner's interest in aerodynamics (specifically the Magnus effect, which produces a force from a cylinder rotating in a fluid flow) also led him to invent the Flettner rotor which he used to power a Flettner ship which crossed the Atlantic, and the Flettner ventilator which is still widely used ...
The Flettner Fl 185 was an experimental German gyrodyne developed by Anton Flettner, a machine which could fly both as a helicopter and as a gyroplane. Design and development [ edit ]

The Fl 184 was a two-seat autogyro with an enclosed cabin. The Fl 184 rotors had a length of 12 m and a cyclic pitch control system. The aircraft's power was supplied by a 160 PS (160 hp; 120 kW) Siemens-Halske Sh 14A radial engine that drove a two-bladed wooden propeller.
