Otto Kauba (1908–1962) was an Austrian engineer who designed aircraft in the period during and after World War II.
[1] On the outbreak of World War II Kauba was selling luxury cars and had become friends with Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, head of the Luftwaffe.
[1] Although the flying bomb project failed, Kauba went on to produce a number of innovative aircraft and the company built several prototypes, including the SL6 to test the control system for the proposed tailless Blohm & Voss P 208.
The SK 257 fighter-trainer incorporated a novel tapered tubular steel wing spar which doubled as an armoured fuel tank.
He designed the OK-15 two-seat light aircraft for the Österreichische Flugzeugwerke GmbH (OFW) at Wiener Neustadt.
