Wong Tong-Mei / Dragonfly
Equipped with a 40 hp ABC inline four, built by Tsoe K. Wong. Designed and built in the UK in 1913, and initially flown there, the craft was later shipped to Kuala Lumpur, in what was then known as the Federated Malay States. The craft met its end on July 19 1914, due to a demo flight that concluded with a fairly emphatic crash.
Wolverine Aeronautic Co
The Wolverine Aeronautic Co, Albion MI., USA circa 1911 was a supplier of home-builders’ kits and materials. They featured two open cockpit biplane models with 25hp (span: 26’0″) and 30hp (span: 30’0″), powered by Wolverine’s own-brand motor.
One machine was reported by Aeronautics to have been built for the Chinese revolutionary party, representatives of which watched it in demonstration at Hempstead, but that “apparently the idea of using aeroplanes was given up at the time.”
Wolfsberg Letecka Tovrna Sparrow
The Wolfsberg Letecka Tovrna Sparrow ML is a twin tail boom airplane with a pusher propeller. The design features large car-like doors that can be opened up to 90°. The pilot position in front of the wing brings excellent view.
The Sparrow is equipped with the 80hp and 100 hp Rotax engines. The main undercarriage is equipped with oil dampers, the wheels of the main chassis are fitted with hydraulic disc brakes. The dashboard is designed for mounting both classic mechanical devices and state-of-the-art glass cockpit.
Sparrow ML was designed, calculated and tested to fulfill all requirements of Ultralight and LSA standards.
The airplane has modern light carbon fiber construction and conventional controls with control stick and pedals and electric flaps and trim control. Sparrow ML can have full dual controls or only pilot control on front seat.
The dashboard position allows convenient control of all devices and switches.

Wolfmüller Schlagflügelapparatur
Alois Wolfmüller’s “Schlagflügelapparatur”, or “Standflugmaschine”, dated from December 1901. Powered by an 18 hp three-cylinder engine of Wolfmüller’s own design, the ornithopter with three wings in tandem arrangement was apparently able to rise 60 cm off the floor, but was very unstable. It was inspired by an 1868 test-rig of his friend Otto Lilienthal.
Wolfmüller, Alois
Alois Wolfmüller was born in Landsberg am Lech. Together with Heinrich and Wilhelm Hildebrand he developed the 1894 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller motorcycle, the first in the world to be produced in series.
