Otto Albin Budig
Otto Albin Budig was an aero inventor, a book-binder-turned-aviator[1], and a German subject, residing at Lille, France. We also have him filing from Burgdorf, Hanover, Germany[2], on occasional filing from Burgdorf though describing himself as having no fixed abode[3], and filing while located at Langgasse, 6, Marburg, Germany[4]. In general, Otto Albin Budig seems to have focused on the automatics stability of the airplane. Aerodynamics were key to this, in his case, with the play and pressure of wind resistance having an effect of springs and gaskets and so forth, with less emphasis put on the pendulum and so forth. In short, this inventor achieves automatic airplane stability by way of using aerodynamic principles, more particularly the play and pressure of wind resistance on wing-like surfaces at the front of the aircraft, to engage immediately with springs which pull cables ultimately also involving pulleys, pistons; and gaskets. This all affects a rudder of stability. His German original filings will be key.
Hungarian data gives him as a bookbinder located in Burgdorf.[5]
Otto Budig may have had a relative named Friedrich Wilhelm Budig who developed a related technology, a canard glider, by 1921 and "widely patented" it.[6]
