Tiling rockets, 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 significant moment in the history of rocketry. Taken in the 1930s at Berlin Airport Tempelhof, it showcases Engineer R. Tiling's pioneering work with aluminium rockets. Standing tall at approximately 9-feet high, these rockets boasted impressive wingspans of around 12-feet. As the photograph reveals, these early rocket prototypes started their ascent slowly but gradually gained momentum, reaching remarkable speeds. At their highest point, determined by the amount of dynamite used, the wings elegantly enfolded before beginning a spiral descent back towards Earth. The precision and engineering behind this flight pattern is truly awe-inspiring. The image transports us back to an era when technological advancements were rapidly reshaping our understanding of space flight. It serves as a testament to Tiling's groundbreaking contributions to German rocketry during this period. With its historical significance and technical ingenuity on display, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the early days of rocket development in Europe. It represents not only an important milestone in aviation history but also highlights Germany's role as a key player in pushing boundaries within aerospace engineering. Detlev van Ravenswaay expertly captures this momentous occasion through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity involved in creating winged gliders that would eventually pave the way for future advancements in rocket technology.
