Bensen B - 8 The Bensen B - 8 is a small , single - seat autogyro developed in the United States in the 1950s . Although the original manufacturer stopped production in 1987 , plans for homebuilders are still available as of 2013 . Its design was a refinement of the Bensen B - 7 , and like that aircraft , the B - 8 was initially built as an unpowered rotor - kite . It first flew in this form in 1955 , and on 6 December a powered version , designated B - 8M ( M for motorised ) first flew . The design proved to be extremely popular and long - lasting , with thousands of sets of plans sold over the next thirty years . Design and development . The B - 8 ' s design is extremely minimalist , with not much more to the aircraft than a pilot ' s seat , a single tailfin , a rotor and ( in powered versions ) the powerplant . In May 1968 a B - 8 and B - 8M were studied by the USAF under the Discretionary Descent Vehicle ( DDV ) program as the X - 25B and X - 25A respectively . In this scheme , it was proposed to integrate combat aircraft ejection seats with a small autogyro or rotor kite to allow downed pilots more control over their post - ejection landing spot . The X - 25A and X - 25B were used to evaluate the piloting and training requirements of the autogyros . No full - scale operational tests were ever performed . The U . S . Air Force stopped funding the DDV program with the end of the Vietnam War . One B - 8M , named " Spirit of Kitty Hawk " ( registration " N2588B " ) was used to make a special commemorative flight exactly duplicating the first flight of the Wright brothers ' original Flyer on the sixtieth anniversary of the occasion . This same aircraft was flown by Igor Bensen himself between May 1967 and June 1968 to set twelve world and US speed , distance , and altitude records for autogyros , the largest number of such records to be held by any non - military rotorcraft .

Bad Kissingen Airport Bad Kissingen Airport is a regional airport in Germany , located about 1 mile north of Bad Kissingen ( Bavaria ) ; about 214 miles southwest of Berlin It supports general aviation with no commercial airline service scheduled . It supports light aircraft up to by planes of up to 3 , 000 kg . History . Origins of the airfield begin in August 1936 when the German Army " Baron von Manteuffel " Kaserne was constructed , although there was no airfield component to the garrison . During World War II , Bad Kissingen was declared an " open city " and escaped Allied bombing . With all of its sanatoriums , hotels and nursing homes , the city serves as a rest center for sick and injured German soldiers . On 7 April 1945 , Third US Army troops enter the city without a fight . The airport was built by the United States Army Air Forces in August 1945 as a liaison airfield for the United States occupation forces in the Bad Kissingen area . Originally constructed with a Pierced Steel Planking runway , the steel was removed in 1948 and transported to the Berlin area for use in the construction of Tegel Airport . On 6 June 1945 the Headquarters of Ninth Air Force moved from Chantilly , France to Bad Kissingen . On 1 November 1945 , the XII Tactical Air Command moved to Bad Kissingen from Erlangen and replaced the Ninth Air Force . On 10 November 1947 the XII Tactical Air Command was inactivated at Bad Kissingen In early 1948 , the airport was turned over to the United States Army . During 1949 , an additional 30 acres of land are requisitioned and added to the Kaserne . The PX , Commissary , EM Club , Gym , Bowling Alley were constructed on part of this addition . Another section was used for an ammunition storage area . In 1953 , another 23 acreas are added to the kaserne . The additional land was used for construction of dependent housing . On 17 February 1953 , pursuant to GO # 1 , Hqs USAREUR , Manteuffel Kaserne was redesignated as Daley Barracks in honor of Technician Fifth Grade William T . Daley , HHB , 94th Rcn Sq ( Mecz ) , who was awarded posthumously the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism during World War II .

Solothurn ST - 5 The Solothurn ST - 5 is a 20 mm anti - aircraft gun designed by Solothurn in Switzerland which ultimately was the design basis for the highly successful 2 cm FlaK 30 series of guns used by Germany in World War II . Solothurn was owned by the German firm Rheinmetall , which at the time was prohibited from developing certain weapons . It and other German manufacturers sought partnerships with foreign firms , often owning them outright , in an effort to circumvent the terms of the Versailles Treaty . The ST - 5 fired the ' Long Solothurn ' ammunition , the cartridge 20 × 138 mm . B . The shell was 138 mm long , making it the most powerful 20 mm round available . While Germany did not adopt the ST - 5 , the Kriegsmarine did acquire a version of the weapon for ship - board air defense . The weapon was designated 20 mm C / 30 and equipped several German naval vessels during World War II . This weapon was further refined for the other German forces as the 2 cm Flak 30 described separately .
Canet guns The Canet guns were a series of weapon systems developed by the French engineer Gustave Canet ( 1846 - 1913 ) , who was design engineer for Schneider et Cie of Le Creusot . 320 mm naval guns . Canet developed a naval gun , an extremely powerful weapon for its time , specifically for the export market . The gun was first selected by the Spanish Navy in 1884 as part of a large naval expansion program which called for six new battleship s . The Spanish armaments firm Hontoria obtained a manufacturing license to produce the weapon , but due to budgetary reasons , only one vessel , the , was completed . Canet was more successful in sales to the Empire of Japan , when the gun was selected by the French military advisor and naval architect Louis - Émile Bertin as the main battery of the , new type of cruiser he had designed in 1887 . The usage was consistent with the Jeune Ecole philosophy , which advocated placing overwhelming firepower ( strong guns , torpedoes ) on relatively small ships . This philosophy was of great interest to the Imperial Japanese Navy , which lacked the resources at the time to purchase modern pre - dreadnought battleship s . The guns supplied to Japan equipped the cruisers , , and . Each gun weighed 67 tons , and had a barrel 12 meters long , firing a 112 - cm projectile with weight of 350 kg ( or 449 kg high explosive ) for an effective range of 8000 meters . The guns proved only marginally successful during the First Sino - Japanese War , due to a slow rate of fire , and numerous mechanical problems . The guns could not be aimed abeam , as their weight would cause the ship to roll over when fired . In combat , gunners were able to fire only around one shot per hour due to the time it took to reload . Other guns . M . Canet is also known for the development of the Schneider - Canet gun system for 75 mm iron BL mountain guns , and rapid - fire 120 mm and 152 mm guns .
F - class blimp The F class of US Navy blimps comprised a single airship , built during World War I by Goodyear as one of a group of three small blimps offered to the US government . Two were purchased for the US Navy and one for the US Army . The Navy blimps were designated E - 1 , F - 1 , and the Army airship A - 1 . classified as an " Experimental Engine Testing Dirigible . " F - 1 had the same envelope size as the E - 1 , due to the use of a tractor mounted 125 hp Union engine , the performance was different . F - 1 spent its entire career at Hampton Roads ( Norfolk , Virginia ) . It was flown in both tractor and pusher configurations . It also may have been flown with a Curtiss OX - 5 engine .
