Opel-RAK

Opel-RAK were a series of rocket vehicles produced by German automobile manufacturer Fritz von Opel, of the Opel car company, in association with others, including Max Valier and Friedrich Wilhelm Sander largely as publicity stunts. The Lippisch Ente (meaning “duck” in German) a rocket-powered glider was produced on June 11, 1928, piloted by Fritz Stamer at Wasserkuppe, but is not usually considered part of the series. The RAK 2 rocket-propelled car is on display at the Opel museum in Rüsselsheim.
