THE
HANRIOT
AND
PONNIER
MONOPLANES.--In
1909
came
the
first
Hanriot
with
50
h.p.
6-cylinder
Buchet
engine,
and
in
1910
the
famous
"Henrietta"
type
with
E.N.Vs.
and
stationary
Clergets.
1911
came
the
Clerget
two-seater
entered
in
French
Military
Trials,
and
1912
the
100
h.p.
Hanriot-Pagny
monoplane
which
took
part
in
British
Military
Trials.
Sister
machines
of
the
same
year
were
the
single
seater
with
50
h.p.
Gnome
and
the
100
h.p.
Gnome
racer
with
stripped
chassis.
In
1913
the
Ponnier-Pagny
racing
monoplane
with
160
h.p.
Le
Rhone
competed
in
the
Gordon-Bennett
race,
doing
about
130
miles
in
the
hour.
The
60
h.p.
Ponnier
biplane
was
the
first
successful
French
scout
tractor
biplane.
THE
WRIGHT
BIPLANE.--The
first
power
flights
were
made,
1903,
on
a
converted
glider
fitted
with
16
h.p.
motor.
The
prone
position
of
the
pilot
will
be
noted.
By
1907
the
machine
had
become
reasonably
practical
with
40
h.p.
motor.
On
this
the
first
real
flying
in
the
world
was
done.
In
1910
the
miniature
racing
Wright
was
produced;
also
the
type
with
a
rear
elevator
in
addition
to
one
in
front.
Soon
afterwards
the
front
elevator
disappeared,
and
the
machine
became
the
standard
American
exhibition
and
school
machine
for
four
years.
In
1915
a
machine
with
enclosed
fuselage
was
produced.
THE
BLACKBURN
MONOPLANES.--In
1909
was
built
the
curious
four-wheeled
parasol-type
machine
with
35
h.p.
Green
engine
and
chain
transmission,
on
which
flying
was
done
at
Saltburn.
In
1911
the
Isaacson-engined
machine
was
built,
together
with
a
50
h.p.
Gnome
single-seater
on
which
Mr.
Hucks
started
in
the
Circuit
of
Britain
race.
In
1912
another
50
h.p.
single-seater
was
built
on
which
a
good
deal
of
school
work
was
done.
A
more
advanced
machine
appeared
in
1913
and
a
two-seater
with
80
h.p.
Gnome
did
a
great
deal
of
cross-country
work
in
1913-14.
