1938: A Pioneering Moment in Aviation History - Focke-Achgelis FA-61 Autogyro Indoor Flight by Hanna Reitsch This photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history, as German test pilot Hanna Reitsch takes the Focke-Achgelis FA-61 Autogyro for a practice session inside the empty Deutschlandhalle in Berlin, Germany, in 1938. The FA-61, also known as the FW 61 and FW-61, was a revolutionary autogyro, a type of rotorcraft that uses an unpowered rotor to achieve lift and a propeller for forward thrust. Autogyros, also known as gyroplanes or rotorplanes, were a significant development in aviation, offering the advantages of both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. They combined the efficiency and speed of fixed-wing planes with the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of helicopters, making them versatile and adaptable to various flying conditions. Reitsch, a trailblazing aviator, was a pioneer in testing and promoting autogyros, having already set numerous records and accolades for her achievements in both fixed-wing and rotorcraft aviation. In this photograph, she skillfully maneuvers the FA-61 inside the cavernous hall, demonstrating the machine's agility and control in an environment typically reserved for static displays. The FA-61 was a world record-breaking autogyro, reaching a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h) and setting new standards for rotorcraft capabilities. This indoor flight inside the Deutschlandhalle marked another milestone in the development and recognition of the FA-61 and autogyros as a whole. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and pioneering spirit of the aeronautical industry during the late 1930s, showcasing the progression of rotorcraft technology and the remarkable achievements of Hanna Reitsch.
