Flettner aircraft included:

• Flettner Fl 184 - Reconnaissance autogyro, prototype
• Flettner Fl 185 - Reconnaissance helicopter, prototype
• Flettner Fl 265 - Reconnaissance helicopter, prototype
• Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri (Hummingbird) - Reconnaissance helicopter
• Flettner Fl 339 - Reconnaissance helicopter, project
• Flettner Gigant - Experimental helicopter

Anton Flettner's interest in aerodynamics (specifically the Magnus effect, which produces a force from a cylinder rotating in a fluid flow) also led him to invent the Flettner rotor which he used to power a Flettner ship which crossed the Atlantic, and the Flettner ventilator which is still widely used as a cooling device for buses, vans and other commercial vehicles and which is based upon the Savonius principle.
