The first prototye of the Flettner Rotor project is constructed with a modified Aluminium Byke structure (Not yet here since needs to be soldiered)
Materials list:
- Engine Absima with speed control + Battery + Charger
Forward, Brake and Reverse modus


- Engine Pulley *Riemenscheibe

- Industrial bearings *Flanschlager

The first material used to build the cilinder, that at the end is not at all a cilinder but a romboid structure.


Many thanks so far to :
Carlos Fasani, Electronic speed control for the engine
Ing. Mader, Structure advice
Ing. Wawrzyniak, Professional Aluminium welding
