The Aeroplane Speaks. Fifth Edition
·

THE
NIEUPORT.--The
first
Nieuport
of
1909
was
curiously
like
a
monoplane
version
of
a
Caudron.
In
1910
came
the
little
two-cylinder
machine
with
fixed
tail-plane
and
universally
jointed
tail.
In
1911
the
French
Trials
machine
was
built
with
100
h.p.
14
cylinder
Gnome,
and
is
typical
of
this
make.
Also
the
little
two-cylinder
record
breaker.
A
modification
of
1913
was
the
height
record
machine
of
the
late
M.
Legagneux.
THE
R.E.P.
MONOPLANES.--First
came
the
curious
and
highly
interesting
experiments
of
1907,
1908,
1909,
and
1910.
1910-1911,
the
World's
Distance
Record
breaker
was
produced;
after
it,
the
"European
Circuit,"
all
with
R.E.P.
engines.
In
1913-14
came
the
French
military
type
with
Gnome
engine
and
finally
the
"parasol,"
1915.
THE
MORANE:
First
the
European
Circuit
and
Paris-Madrid
type.
Then
the
1912
types,
with
taper
wing
and
modern
type
wing.
The
1913
types,
the
"clipped
wing,"
flown
by
the
late
Mr.
Hamel,
one
of
the
standard
tandem
types
now
in
use.
About
the
same
time
came
the
"parasol."
1914-15
came
a
little
biplane
like
a
Nieuport,
and
the
"destroyer"
type
with
a
round
section
body,
flown
by
Vedrines.
THE
VOISIN.--1908,
the
first
properly
controlled
flight
on
a
European
aeroplane
was
made
on
a
Voisin
of
the
type
shown
with
fixed
engine.
Then
followed
the
record
breaker
of
1909
with
a
Gnome
engine.
In
1909
also
the
only
Voisin
tractor
was
produced.
1910
the
Paris-Bordeaux
type
was
built;
1911
the
amphibious
"canard"
and
the
"military"
type
with
extensions,
and
the
type
without
an
elevator.
1913
came
the
type
with
only
two
tail-booms
and
a
geared-down
engine,
which
developed
into
the
big
"gun"
machine
with
a
Salmson
engine.
