Arthur Sack
Arthur Sack (* 1900 , † 1964 ) was a German farmer , self-taught and amateur inventors from creators , trying to develop the flying disks. He succeeded in developing an airworthy model, which he presented in Leipzig - Mockau in 1939 .
This first prototype, called AS-1 , proved to be airworthy, but could not take off on its own.
Later he developed other prototypes, up to and including the AS-6 , but all of them had poor flight characteristics.
Its actually verifiable developments have a certain relevance for the development of the myth of the Reichsflugplatten , which, however, were said to have perfect flight characteristics.
