Tiling rocket launch, 1930s
Engineer R. Tiling, the Rocket inventor from Osnabrueck, Germany, started three of his aluminium rockets from the Berlin Airport Tempelhof. These rockets is approximately 9-feet high and the wings on the rockets ends have a span of approx. 12-feet. They started very slowly but gradually reached a high speed. At the highest point - which depends on the quanitiy of the dynamite - the wings enfolded. Then the rocket descended in spiral flight and landed near the starting point The photo shows a start of the test

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in the history of rocketry - the tiling rocket launch in 1930s Germany. Engineer R. Tiling, hailing from Osnabrueck, embarked on an audacious endeavor by igniting three of his revolutionary aluminium rockets at Berlin Airport Tempelhof. Standing tall at approximately 9-feet high with wings spanning around 12-feet, these winged marvels took off slowly but steadily gained momentum, reaching astonishing speeds. At their zenith, determined by the amount of dynamite used as propellant, the wings gracefully folded to enhance aerodynamics. The descent was nothing short of awe-inspiring as these rockets spiraled through the sky before landing near their point of origin. This test flight showcased Tiling's pioneering engineering prowess and marked a significant milestone in early European rocketry. The monochrome image exudes an air of historical significance and highlights the technological advancements made during this era. It is a testament to German ingenuity and innovation that paved the way for future developments in space flight and rocketry. Detlev van Ravenswaay's expertly captured photograph immortalizes this pivotal moment where fuel combustion and exhaust gases propelled mankind towards new frontiers. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from 1933, we are transported back to a time when dreams soared higher than ever before - reminding us that every great achievement begins with bold visionaries like Engineer R. Tiling.
