Video
Russian born engineer Nicolas Florine built one of the first successful tandem rotor helicopters. The rotors turned in the same direction but were tilted in opposite directions to cancel torque reaction. Boulet (1984) describes the various mechanical aspects of the machine. Florine's first aircraft was destroyed in 1930, but he had a second design flying successfully by 1933, which made a flight of over 9 minutes to an altitude of 15-feet. This exceeded d'Ascanio's modest flight duration record of the time. Yet, Florine's designs suffered many setbacks, and work was discontinued into the pre-World War 2 years. His machines were ultimately destroyed during the war.

On this site you will learn all about the Fokker-Team-Schorndorf - a group of young men - who devoted themselves to discover the knowledge about German aircraft development up to 1920.
We follow our aim strictly and are trying to research the knowledge about the technics used to construct aircraft of the mentioned field and to also make the results of our work available to anybody interested in. To reach this goal we develop construction drawings for full sized reconstruction aircraft. We also do publish our findings in form of booklets and books. Furthermore we have recently started to collect original data documents such as works drawings, photographs and other documents which are to be put together in our archive which you can find somewhere on this website.

| A B-25 back in Belgium |
We would like to reinforce the B-25 restoration Team.
For this purpose, the bamf is currently contracting insurance for 12 restorers. The restoration activities have already started and will soon enter greater scale operations. Although we are looking for persons with technical knowledge in aircraft restoration, we want also give the opportunity to unexperienced volunteers to join the project on a benevolent basis.
You can learn more about the project at http://www.bamfbamrs.be/B25/B25-en.htm
