    Well, this machine went further then to prototype and was even produced in amount of 300 pieces, but there is a special reason to have it in The Stillborn Wings line, though...:-) During the WW1 and the years after there were many new aircrafts constructed, some of them flew better, some of them...

    It's been more a 'Stillborn blades' this time...:-) In the early 60's has been built many helicopter designs for exploring how to increase choppers' speed. One of the insteresting experimental solutions (built for German Ministry of Defense) was the Derschmidt rotor system with blades mounted...
