FOKKER-TEAM-SCHORNDORF

Welcome to my visitors platform.

On this website you will learn all about me - Achim Engels - and the Fokker-Team-Schordorf. My family and I devoted ourselves to discover and preserve the knowledge about German aircraft development and use up to 1920.

I follow my aim strictly and am trying to research the knowledge about the techniques used to construct aircraft of the mentioned field and to also make the results of my work available to anybody who is interested in. To reach this goal I go several ways. I develop construction drawings for full sized parts and complete reconstruction aircraft. I also do publish my findings in form of booklets and books. Furthermore my plan also is to collect original data documents such as works drawings, photographs and other documents into an online archive which you can find somewhere on this website.

I do kindly invite you here to look around.

Also I would very much like to use this opportunity to point your attention to a real huge dream of mine. You could be part in helping to make it come real.

I may also set up special pages here soon which will show you some of my hobbies such as 1/48 plastic aircraft modelling, 1/35 military vehicle modelling, scratch modelling and vehicle restoration including vintage motorcycles and cars.

"Fokker D.VIII - In Detail" Coming soon.

This new video on youtube features my phenomenal idea of a unique flying museum. Aworking, operating aircraft factory of WWI with everyday day-in a life reenactment. I need money to make it happen. If you can help, feel free to contact me to become part of this time machine.

Latest News Report as of 22nd January 2012:

The shift 2011/2012 finally saw aeroplanes in the air.

Most of my ongoing projects are done. I am currently preparing the make of the Pfalz D.III. If anybody is interested in one of these airplanes and wants to join in for one, just contact me.

But I would be willing to accept orders for any other airplane as well. One of these big G-Type bombers of WWI certainly would be a challenge I would like to face....

My own Fokker D.VIII will be powered by a TVAL built Oberursel Ur.II rotary engine, which is currently assembled and will be shipped to me soon. I hope to have it in for the upcomming show "Klassikwelt Bodensee" which takes place from 17th of Mai through 20th of Mai 2012.

On 21st of January 2012 "E6 002" flew a wonderfull display at Hood Aerodrome, Masterton - New Zealand. Photographer Sean Singleton was at the show and took the following four lovely shots of the airplane.

"E6 002" is one of the the sister ships of "E6 001 200238" which are flown on regular display at Hood Aerodrome - Masterton - New Zealand.
