(see Kronach).

At the end of WWII, the Germans had little fuel left.

“Lippisch with Kronach”

-One of the most magnificent engines that were designed then was the one that used the Lippisch LiP 13b shown below. Ir was based on a design by B. Boyd.

-This unusual form of propulsion used a rotating basket filled with carbon pellets. The engine was started with gas.

-The nozzle was rectangular between the two deflections. As the charcoal burned, the circular basket rotated.

-It was actually a ramjet. It remained in project only.

From Appendix 9: A carbon dust engine model is the one installed on the hang glider aircraft known as the Lippish P13A.

“P13A ramjet”

-The plane was created around the engine: a duct with a front air intake, a combustion chamber and an exit nozzle.

-The vertical stabilizer with rudder had the cockpit and controls.

-The triangular wings were also attached to the engine.

-It is another model, somewhat different from the “rotating basket” of the P13b model, which is mentioned in the main text.

-After the war, Lippisch was in Convair, USA, and designed the well-known hang glider Convair 102, etc., following his ideas.

"Sketch of the plane and its basket"

From Appendix 12: At the end of WWII, the engineer was sharpening, either due to the shortage of gasoline or materials.

-The Lippisch LiP-13B (see main text) was made with an ingenious engine, working as a ramjet. Actually the engine was conceived by Kronach (sometimes it was called Kronach-Lorin, for some similarity).

"Diorama with a Lippisch P13B"

-In this diorama it is installed on a mother aircraft to start ignition and propulsion.
