Carl Emil Ritter
Carl Emil Ritter was an aero inventor in Petaluma, Sonoma county, California. On his British patent he gave his occupation as "Gentleman".
According to this source, he was born in Saxony in 1875, and he went under the name Charles in the U.S.: Findagrave.com
Ritter may have been a title, followed by von something, when in Germany.
His invention is an elongated helicopter with multiple propellers for lift and others for navigation and control. It does not appear to use a fixed-wing aerofoil source of lift. He patented this in three countries. It seems unlikely that he actually built one, because it would be big and costly. This person had 0 publications and 3 patents in this database.
