The attachments of the inter-plane struts to the wings are enclosed in faired casings of aluminium. 4. The chassis vee is enclosed, and the axle rests in a large ply-wood fairing. 5. The Fiat wing bracing is somewhat unusual, there being no lift wires in the inner bay.
The experimental Bleriot four-engined biplane - the forerunner of the large ’bus illustrated in “Flight” some little time back. It badly crashed on its trial flight owing to the tail bracing being insufficiently strong. The engines are 300 h.p. Hispano-Suizas
The Swiss “D.H.5” (Haefeli) military biplane, which created two Swiss altitude records, one with and one without passenger. In the former an altitude of 23,800 ft. was reached in one hour, and in the latter the altitude reached was 27,000 ft. The pilot in each case was Serg. Progin, and the passenger was Lieut. Haefeli, the designer of the machine. The machine has a span of 36 ft., and is fitted with a 200h.p. eight-cylindered Winterthur (Swiss) engine.
OVER THE ALPS, GLIDING INTO THE VALLEY: A photograph of a Swiss “D.H. 5” taken from another machine by Lieut. Mittelholzer
The Latecoere biplane, designed for fast mail service
The ailerons in the Latecoere machine were balanced, and, probably with the idea of making them more effective, the tip of the wing is thinned down to a fine edge in front of the aileron balance, giving somewhat the appearance of a Howard-Wright double-cambered wing section.
