Quod erat demonstrandum! The sponsors are financing the sum of 150,000 Euro for the reproduction of the powered double-decker, true to the original in every detail. The aircraft constructor Harald Lohman, who has been entrusted with the reproduction, says: ”This time I’m not building an aeroplane – I’m building a work of art, a cathedral!” Without a doubt, Karl Jatho belongs to the small group of pioneers in the field of aviation; on the other hand, he did not take the experiences of others into account, e.g Otto Lilienthal, who had made countless trials. In spite of some strange quirks in the design of his flight apparatus Jatho managed to lift off the ground at various times as early as August 18th 1903. To ignore him internationally in connection with the topic ”first powered flight” and to only mention the Wright brothers, has spurred more than just local patriots from Hanover into action. The first reconstruction is placed in the Hanover Airport terminal. Further updates come soon. © 2006 - 2018 Design by PHOENIX Advertising, Service & Communication · www.phoenix-werbeagentur.com |
