Orphan date February 2009 cleanup date August 2008 nofootnotes date August 2008 refimprove date August 2008 The Dornier Aerodyne was the designation of an unmanned wingless VTOL aircraft. Conceived by Alexander Lippisch , it was developed and built by Dornier on behalf of the Federal German Ministry of Defense. Lippisch was part of the team. The first flight took place on 18 September 1972. The development ended on 30 November 1972 after successful hovering flight testing with the aircraft. Experimentation did not continue due to lack of interest in the Bundeswehr German Armed Forces , and or the desire to undertake plans for manned helicopter s. Description The principle behind the Aerodyne is the combination of lift and thrust production in a single construction unit and flow channel, i.e. a ducted fan. Flaps at the end of the fan divert the outflowing air to produce lift, thrust, or a combination of both. As a result, the Aerodyne could be steered and flown in the entire range between hovering and full forward flight. For forward flight, the Aerodyne had a conventional tail unit at the rear, which allowed for pitch and yaw control. The equipment was unmanned and operated by remote control. It was intended to be a land or ship supported drone UAV for aerial reconnaissance .

Image Cyclone separator.svg thumb 200px A cyclone separator Cyclonic separation is a method of removing particulate s from an air, gas or water stream, without the use of filter air filter s, through vortex separation. Rotation al effects and gravity are used to separate mixtures of solids and fluids. A high speed rotating air flow is established within a cylindrical or conical container called a cyclone . Air flows in a spiral pattern, beginning at the top wide end of the cyclone and ending at the bottom narrow end before exiting the cyclone in a straight stream through the center of the cyclone and out the top. Larger denser particles in the rotating stream have too much inertia to follow the tight curve of the stream and strike the outside wall, falling then to the bottom of the cyclone where they can be removed. In a conical system, as the rotating flow moves towards the narrow end of the cyclone the rotational radius of the stream is reduced, separating smaller and smaller particles. The cyclone geometry, together with flow rate , defines the cut point of the cyclone. This is the size of particle that will be removed from the stream with a 50 efficiency. Particles larger than the cut point will be removed with a greater efficiency, and smaller particles with a lower efficiency. Image Horizontal cyclone.jpg thumb 200px Airflow diagram for Aerodyne cyclone in horizontal position, an alternate design to minimize abrasion within the device Image Vertical cyclone.jpg thumb 200px Airflow diagram for Aerodyne cyclone in standard vertical position An alternative cyclone design uses a secondary air flow within the cyclone to keep the collected particles from striking the walls to protect them from abrasion. The primary air containing the particulate enters from the bottom of the cyclone and is forced into spiral rotation by a stationary spinner. The secondary air flow enters from the top of the cyclone and moves downward toward the bottom, intercepting the particulate f ... more details

In the UK they were called Trekkers, made by Corgi. There was also a similar product made by Matchbox brand Matchbox called Rough Riders toy Rough Riders . History of production Generation I Schaper Stompers debuted in 1980. Schaper s 1980 catalog showed five Stomper trucks the Chevrolet K 10 Scottsdale, Chevrolet Blazer, Dodge Warlock, Ford Bronco, and Jeep Honcho. The Stunt Set and Wild Mountain set playsets were the only other Stompers products in that year s catalog. The earliest Stompers had clips inside the body that attached to the sides of the chassis they are known as side clips. They also came with a set of foam tires. 1981 brought five new Stomper trucks the Chevrolet LUV, Datsun Li l Hustler, Jeep Renegade, Subaru BRAT, and Toyota SR5. The Stunt Set and Wild Mountain sets also returned, though different pieces were shown in the 1981 catalog. The short lived Stomper SSC Super Cycles also debuted in 1981. The trucks were also sold with an additional set of rubber tires so that they could be driven outdoors. The Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Scrambler were the new four wheel drive trucks for 1982.

Based on the two or three seat AMF Maranda , the Teal was built mostly of wood. It featured strut braced high wing, with W configuration struts running from the wing roots, down to stabilizing floats which also contained the main wheels , then back up the wings near 70 span cruciform tail two pilots seated side by side under the wing access to the cockpit by side doors tricycle undercarriage with the main wheels retracting into stabilizing floats only about 25 of the wing span. The nosewheel retracted into the bow and was covered by two conventional side hinged doors. A rarity among flying boats was its engine location in a nacelle, above the wing, with the propeller rotating immediately in front of the windscreen. From the 1970s to the 1990s plans were sold by Falconar Aviation of Edmonton Edmonton City Centre Blatchford Field Airport downtown municipal airport . A handful were built by amateur aircraft constructors aka homebuilders in Canada and the United States. Most were powered by certified Lycoming Engines Lycoming or Teledyne Continental Motors Continental Piston engine engines .
