About the Item

Wooden propeller with 6-hole center hub, 1950s East Germany. Wood engraved inscription DDR WRXO95. The abbreviation DDR indicates an East German production and the code WRXO95 the maricola number for internal use by the air force department. In the early decades of the Cold War between 1950 and 1970, East Germany produced numerous gliders and low-powered training aircraft and many of these used wooden propellers. Bon état. Length 198x18.3x10 cm - inches 78x7.5x3.9 The first airplane proper saw the light of day in 1903, when the Wright brothers succeeded in flying and keeping in the air for 12 seconds-a kind of glider equipped with a 16-horsepower engine at Kill Devil Hill in North Carolina, USA. But the father of aviation is considered by one part of the scientific and aeronautical community to be Alberto Santos-Dumont, who, during a flight held on November 12, 1906, managed to get a heavier-than-air aircraft to take off independently (the Wright brothers had instead used a kind of catapult to take off). The first Italian plane was built by Aristide Faccioli in 1908.
