Edmund Sparmann
Edmund Sparmann was an Austrian aero inventor filing in several nations. We have limited data, but are tracing the connections between his various filings. British patent data has him as a Mechanical Engineer filing from 3 Landesgerichstrasse, Vienna VIII, Austria.[1]
Hungarian patent date also has him located in Vienna and has him as a University Student, or University of Technology Student, studying in the applied sciences.[2]
Tentatively, we are dealing with two small patent families here, both having to do with stability, with the emphasis shifting between rudders and so forth to the role played by gyroscopes.
He is mentioned as an aircraft builder associated with Phönix Flugzeugwerke AG[3], an Austro-Hungarian airplane manufacturer on whom we are conducting further research.
In 1910 Sparmann occupied hangar 21b at Wiener Neustädter Flugfeld, the hub of Austrian aviation at that time.[4]
