Pioneers
Strack Hochdecker
The Strack Hochdecker of 1911 is a high-wing monoplane built by the Strack Flugzeugwerke of Duisburg; a completely open model of tubular metal construction, fitted with a two-cylinder rotary engine which drove two counter-rotating propellers.
Strack Wassereindecker
Amphibian monoplane entered by the builder Strack Flugzeugwerke (Duisburg) into the Bodensee-Wasserflug 1913. The machine had a unique amphibian construction which worked such that the land undercarriage was fixed but the floats could be moved up and down. When landing on the water the floats were set in the down position, so that the fixed land undercarriage cleared the water.
Stolz Torpedo-Flugzeug
Franz Stolz built his design in 1909 in the German town Rastatt. Due to its form it was named the ‘Torpedo-Flugmaschine’ [Torpedo Flying machine]. To fund (further) construction the design of Stolz was exhibited against payment in the Carl Franz Halle, but this financial help was not enough. Stolz had to auction his machine in December 1909 and the machine never did fly.
Stoeckel 1909 monoplane
This monoplane appeared at Issy around 1908-09. The work of a Blériot XI pilot, the main frame looked a lot like a contemporary wheelchair. The wing was prominently curved, Stoeckel designed it to reassemble a bird’s “half-folded” wing.

Stockhausen 1912-1913 biplane
In 1910-1911, a small group of aviation enthusiasts from Paderborn, Johann Stockhausen, Oskar Martini, Paul Schröder, Karl Vogt and Anton Bickmeier built their tents on the edge of the parade ground at Dörenkamp in Paderborn, Germany, working on their projects for the conquest of the air, but nothing further is known.
In February and March 1911, Stockhausen and Schröder leased on the edge of today’s airfield Bad Lippspringe, the former parade ground, a land on which they built the first Paderborn aircraft hall proudly bearing the name “Aeroplanhalle Joh. Stockhausen”. For the 17 May 1912 Stockhausen invited pilot Gustav Tweer. The biplane of Stockhausen had a 60 hp engine.
Stinson Cootie
The 1919 Stout Cootie was a single-place open cockpit, mid-wing monoplane with a thick cantilever wing. The wingspan was about 18 feet. Taken to Morrow Field in Detroit for testing in March 1919, but the 38hp two-cycle Sperry-Wills engine refused to run and the aircraft never flew.
