Biographical note
Alexander Martin Lippisch was born on 2 November 1894 in Munich, Germany, the son
of Franz and Clara (Commichau) Lippisch. His father was an artist. Alexander was
educated at schools in Berlin and Jena, Germany, and was planning to enter art school
when the First World War began. He enlisted in Germany's armed forces in 1915, and
served until 1918 as an aerial photographer and mapper. In 1943 he was awarded a
doctoral degree at the University of Heidelberg.
Lippisch worked for the Dornier Aircraft Company in Friedrichshafen, Germany, as an
aerodynamicist from 1918-1922. He was employed as a glider designer for
Weltensegler, Inc. in Baden-Baden (1922-1923); as a designer for A. G. Steinmann,
Hagen, Westphalia (1923-1925); and in 1925 he joined the staff of the aerodynamics
and design department of the Rhon-Rossittengesellschaft, north of Frankfurt. From
1933-1939 he was in Darmstadt as chief of the technical department of the Deutsche
Forschungsanstalt fur Segelflug (DFS). DFS sent him to the Messerschmitt Company in
1939, to head a department to develop a rocket fighter for the Air Ministry. From 19431945 he served as director of research for the Aeronautical Research Institute in
Vienna, Austria.
He came to the United States in January 1946 as a part of the Operation Paper Clip
program administered by the United States Department of Defense. He was stationed at
Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, where he stayed until December 1946 when his family
joined him. He worked for the Naval Air Materiel Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
from 1946-1950. Lippisch and his family received United States citizenship in 1956.
In 1950 Lippisch accepted employment at Collins Radio Company in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, where he was director of the aeronautical division until 1964. One of his first
projects at Collins was the design of a high-speed smoke tunnel. Lippisch's work on
smoke tunnel flow visualization led to a thirteen part television series in 1955, entitled
The Secret of Flight. The series addressed the amateur viewer, demonstrating the
principle of flight through the use of simple models and a smoke wind tunnel. A believer
in the importance of a broad education, Lippisch gave many lectures on the significance
and the history of flight.
He also worked on remote powered vehicles which led to his concept of the Aerodyne.
This wingless aircraft was suspended solely by the thrust of its engines and was
capable of vertical takeoff and landing. The Aerodyne project was discontinued in 1960,
at which time Lippisch became the director of the hydrodynamic laboratory at Collins.
He designed a high speed boat which performed very well up to a certain speed, but
beyond that point the aerodynamic forces lifted the bow too much. This triggered his
interest, and he proposed a boat whose hull would lift out of the water by means of short
airplane type wings. This idea was utilized in the aerofoil boat, which was a seaplane
MS 243

that flew efficiently near the ground or water surface. It was powered by a conventional
aircraft propeller and was capable of flying far from the ground like a regular airplane.
The first full scale aerofoil boat was the Collin X-112. It was first flown in 1965.
Lippisch retired from Collins Radio Company in 1964. He underwent lung surgery and
upon recovery found himself desiring to continue his work in aircraft design. He
consulted for several United States and German companies on the designs of
Aerodynes, Aeroskimmers, and Aerofoil boats.
In the mid 1920s a friend sent Lippisch a flying seed of a tropical plant. This seed was
essentially an arrow shaped wing, and as others had done before him, Lippisch based
his tailless arrow shaped aircraft on this example from nature. A private sponsor saw
one of these designs and thought it would be possible to build a large version of this
type for use as a trans-oceanic transport. However, Lippisch felt that the wing near the
body should be thicker so that it could be utilized for additional storage. Lippisch
decided that this would only be possible by making the wing near the body longer, and
this is how he arrived at the delta shaped wing. His first motorized delta wing flew in
1931. Lippisch continued his work with the delta wing during his time as director of the
Aviation Research Institute in Vienna, Austria. His team worked on delta wing airplanes
that were designed to accommodate a variety of new engines, such as the turbojet and
ramjet engines.
Alexander M. Lippisch died 11 February 1976 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, of a heart and
lung ailment.
Collection description
The Alexander Lippisch Papers (1897-1993, undated) contain biographical material,
correspondence, scientific research files, materials relating to patents, publications,
photographs, and films. In addition to a rich array of material relating to Lippisch's work
in aeronautical engineering, the collection also includes biographical material about
Lippisch and publications and photographs related to general aviation history.
Scientific research files document Lippisch's work designing sailplanes and gliders,
delta-winged aircraft, and aerodynes, as well as research involving aerodynamics,
smoke tunnels, and ground effect. These files include materials such as calculations,
data, statistics and experimental test results, and technical designs and conceptual
drawings of aircraft designs. The collection also includes articles and reports by
Lippisch and others.
Highlights of the collection include the technical designs and conceptual drawings of
Lippisch's aeronautical designs, and the numerous photographic images and films. The
films include brief films of research experiments as well as a number of professionally
produced films, such as the series The Secret of Flight.

This series is rich in correspondence (especially Box 40) and patent
materials (Box 41) that relate to the phenomena of ground effect. The
series also contains photographs (1959-1964, undated) of models
(including Aeroskimmers and the Aerofoil) in a water tank and wind
tunnel. A statistical sampling of the photographs was taken. The
methodology used was 10% of each group were selected for retention.
One folder of FAA publications and regulations is also included in this
series.

Films
1928-1975, undated
extent:
69 film canisters, 1 document box, 1 oversized box
description:
This series contains 308 films (primarily 16mm) that deal with a variety
of subject matter including flight capabilities of insects and birds,
sailplanes, delta-wings, rocket fighters, Lorin/Ramjet propulsion,
aerodynamic tests on aerofoils, aerodynes, ground effect, boats, and
aeroskimmers. Many of the tests were performed in a 2-d smoke
tunnel. Although locations are often unidentified, it is most likely that
outdoor test flights conducted before 1945 were filmed in Germany and
Austria and after 1945 were filmed in Iowa. I most cases, film
identifications were transcribed from the original boxes.
The tests on delta-wings are in films 5, 10, 53, 99, 182-199, and 243.
Tests on aeroskimmers are in films 288, 289, 292-294, and 300.
MS 243

In addition, 18 professionally produced and/or directed films have been
separated to the Film Collection. These are listed at the end of the
collection.
