Avionics - German PKS11 autopilot

[Funksammler]

I managed to finish the next chapter on the Patin PKS11 autopilot:

The chapters published so far cover the most frequently used autopilots in the German Luftwaffe. Next I will go into the "Kurszentrales" and some variations and developments....

It is clear that the Siemens brochure makers don't even know their own history, the schematic right bottom has nothing to do with the "Blindlande-automatik", it shows the DK12 three axis autopilot based on the K12.

They were also carefull not to show too much that was actually used by the Luftwaffe (apart from the aforementioned DK12).

The DK12 was used in conjunction with a remote control system in the "Mistel-Gespann" to fly the sacrificial Ju 88 towards its target....

Hello
Thanks for your reply about the Siemens history

Indeed if these are peoples loads of the communication and that it did not of technical knowledge on the subject

This gives inconsistent histories !!!
