Lippisch Delta-1 Test Flight |

ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
|
Germany's Dr. Alexander Lippisch (1894-1976) was, even in his early years, a pioneer in the field of delta-winged aircraft. When his experimental single-engine Delta 1 flew in June of 1931, it was the first successful flight of a tail-less or "flying wing" aircraft. Unfortunately, even after a successful public demonstration at Berlin-Tempelhof the following September, he was unable to find the financial backing necessary to develop this design further. |
This a rare all-resin kit of the Delta .1 from Otte Models of France was produced sometime in the very early 21st Century and was never released in the United States. A relatively simple kit, its instruction were entirely in French. This model was built from the kit's one and only issue. |
