Generic term

[edit]

Weltensegler was the company name. There appear to have been several gliders made by Wenk along these lines - see Lippisch, A.; The Delta Wing: History and Development, Iowa State University 1981, page 2. "The Weltensegler glider flown in 1921" is a description rather than a name, much as one might talk of "the Lippisch delta flown in 1934" or "the Wright biplane, one of which was flown over Berlin in 1909", as a class of object rather than a specific model.

As such, "Weltensegler" is primarily the company name, not a particular aircraft, and the article should reflect this. 83.104.46.71 (talk) 10:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
