The Dunne Bi-plane. This is a true deltoid formation, as the angle of incidence of the planes is so disposed that when the planes are horizontal from end to end, the inclination is such as to make it similar to the deltoid kite referred to.
Beachy has since repeated the experiment with a bi-plane, and it is a feat which has many imitators, and while those remarkable exhibitions are going on, one catastrophe follows the other with the same regularity as in the past. Let us consider this phase of flying. Are they of any value, and wherein do they teach anything that may be utilized,
We have shown that they differ so radically in every essential, that what would be correct in one thing would be entirely wrong in another. The bi-plane is certainly not a true copy.
AEROPLANES. The only form which has met with any success is the aeroplane, which, in practice, is made in two distinct forms, one with a single set of supporting planes, in imitation of birds, and called a monoplane; and the other having two wings, one above the other, and called the bi-plane, or two-planes.
One morning it circled over their very chimneys, alighted on Vegg's Heath, almost outside the garden gate, and Wynn came in, blue with cold, shouting for food. He and she drew Miss Fowler's bath-chair, as they had often done, along the Heath foot-path to look at the bi-plane. Mary observed that 'it smelt very badly. 'Postey, I believe you think with your nose, said Wynn.
They came back slowly to their house, arm in arm; two young things, like shadows in the gloom, but certain in their own minds that they could conquer Australia. Bob lit the hanging lamp in the little sitting-room, and looked round him proudly. A photograph caught his eye; a large group at his Surrey Aerodrome, young officers clustered round a bi-plane that had just landed.
I move that this committee empowers Big Claus and Little Claus, who have elected to commit suicide in our midst, to leave the premises as they came. I'm asking you to take big chances," I says, "but they're all we've got," and then I broke for the bi-plane. 'Don't tell me the English can't think as quick as the next man when it's up to them!
He took me right under the biggest King Somebody's Yew and while I was spannin' it with my handkerchief, he says, "Look heah!" just as if it was a rabbit and down comes a bi-plane into the theatre with no more noise than the dead. My Rush Silencer is the only one on the market that allows that sort of gumshoe work.... What? A bi-plane with two men in it.
While technically two forms are known, namely, the monoplane and the bi-plane, they are both dependent on outstretched wings, longer transversely than fore and aft, so far as the supporting surfaces are concerned, and with the main weight high in the structure, thus, in every particular, conforming to the form pointed out by nature as the apparently correct type of a flying structure.
'The swine! How I'd like to get back on 'em! Ken did not reply. The horror of it had made him feel quite sick. At that moment the firing burst out more hotly than ever. It seemed as if every gun and rifle in the enemy's hands spoke at once. 'What's up now? muttered Roy. Ken gave a sharp exclamation, and pointed upwards. Looking up, Roy saw a big bi-plane soaring high overhead.
