Eugene Saenger

Not to be confused with Eugen Sänger.

Eugene Saenger (March 5, 1917 – September 30, 2007)^[1] was an American university professor and physician. A graduate of Harvard University,^[1] Saenger was an extremely controversial pioneer in radiation research and nuclear medicine, at the expense of human autonomy and dignity. He taught at the University of Cincinnati for more than thirty years.^[2]

Cincinnati Radiation Experiments (1960-1971)

From 1960 until 1971, Saenger, a radiologist at the University of Cincinnati, led an experiment exposing 88 cancer patients, mostly poor and 60% of whom were black, to whole body radiation, even though this sort of treatment had already been discredited by other researchers for the types of cancer these patients had. They were not told the Pentagon funded the study, however, according to The New York Times '...In the first five years, the researchers said, they obtained oral consent, and later various written consent forms.' They were told they would be getting an experimental treatme

Sänger: Germany’s Orbital Rocket Bomber in World War II

by David Myhra

Everyone knows NASA’s soon to be retired Space Shuttle. Many know the X-15 and X-20. But few outside the aviation/rocketry community know the craft or the man that provided key theoretical underpinnings for their propulsion systems and the principle of the lifting body: Austro-Hungarian aerospace engineer Eugen Sänger (1905–64) and his manned, bi-fueled, liquid rocket-powered sub-orbital—and reusable!—craft, a world’s first. Mind you, it wasn’t built, couldn’t be built, thankfully. All that remains of it are some models, designs, and an engine. Had it been built it would have changed the world.

Since we assume this to be a not widely known subject we will devote a few more words to it than we normally do in a book review.

Almost all modern rocket engines use Sänger’s concept of “Regenerative cooling/regenerative engine” in which fuel or oxidizer circulates in tubes around the engine bell in order to both cool the bell and pressurize the fluid. Putting moral and philosophical issues aside (this is a we

Eugen Sänger

Austrian aerospace engineer (1905–1964)

Not to be confused with Eugene Saenger.

Eugen Sänger (22 September 1905 – 10 February 1964) was an Austrianaerospace engineer best known for his contributions to lifting body and ramjet technology.

Early career

Sänger was born in the former mining town of Preßnitz (Přísečnice), near Komotau in Bohemia, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at that time . He studied civil engineering at the Technical Universities of Graz and Vienna. As a student, he came in contact with Hermann Oberth's book Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen ("By Rocket into Planetary Space"), which inspired him to change from studying civil engineering to aeronautics. He also joined Germany's amateur rocket movement, the Verein für Raumschiffahrt (VfR – "Society for Space Travel") which was centered on Oberth.

In 1932 Sänger became a member of the SS and was also a member of the NSDAP.^[1]

Sänger made rocket-powered flight the subject of his thesis, but it was rejected by the university as too fanciful.

Sänger was allowed to grad
