The 1936 Cicogna was a tailless and powered version of the Teichfuss Astore, which was in turn very similar to the RRG Falke designed in 1930 by Alexander Lippisch.
Ailerons were hinged at right angles to the fuselage and had curved edges which blended into rounded wing tips.
The wing, which was mounted with dihedral, was supported over the fuselage by a pair of inverted V-struts from the upper longerons and a small pillar behind the cockpit.
A longer faired bracing V-strut joined the lower longeron to the wing at about one third span on each side.
There is no evidence that it flew under power or that the troublesome[3] 25 hp (19 kW) flat twin engine was ever fitted.
