Type Werk.Nr Registration History




From 1929 onwards, he designed the Me 1 "Machinchen" motorised aircraft with a wingspan of 10 m and a length of 6.15 metres in Lindau on Lake Constance, whose DKW engine was supplied by the Zschopauer Motorenwerke J. S. Rasmussen (part of Auto Union from 1932). The air-cooled two-cylinder two-stroke boxer engine of the type TL 500 with an output of 9 kW (12 hp) came from the DKW main plant in Zschopau. The wings were removable and could be stowed along the fuselage, so that the aircraft could be transported by road with a width of less than two meters. In March 1930, the Me 1 took off for its maiden flight at the Friedrichshafen-Löwental airfield. Later, the Me 1 was equipped with the more powerful U2 engine (15/20 hp) from Ursinus, which was actually intended for the Me 2, but which was not built due to lack of money.
