The Akaflieg München Mü18 Meßkrähe is a glider that was designed and built in Germany in 1927.[1]
Development[]
Initiated by the RLM (Reichsluftfahrministerium – Reich Aviation Ministry), the Mü18 "Meßkrähe" was an experimental flying wind-tunnel used to research aerofoil sections in undisturbed airflow. With the airframe designed and built at Akaflieg München, test aerofoil sections were provided by , and . Test sections were suspended, in undisturbed airflow on an adjustable trapeze, for measurement of pressure distribution at various angles of attack. Progress on the glider was slow due to a very low priority for resources, but the Mü18 "Meßkrähe" eventually flew towards the end of World War II.
