theidolhands.livejournal.comflu·gel·rad [flo͞o´ɡel-rād]:
origin: German
noun
A Nazi Flying saucer.
Kidding!
Sort of. Depends whom you ask; see also Haunebu. A Flugelrad (with or without umlaut) is also known as a "flying wheel" and while one version has roots in the German military, it's also an engineering term. Currently it's an international symbol for railways.
