Biplan I.I.Steglau. ' Letatelnyekachestva of airplanes
| to Pass to sections: Biplan I.I.Steglau ' Competition of 1913 has involved 12 airplanes of the various systems, all program of tests was executed only by 4 airplanes between which prizes in a following order have been distributed. It is necessary to note substantial growth of application of metal as a building material, in particular steel seamless pipes and the parts made of atseti-leno-oxygen welding. In general, searches of designers in the most various directions are visible, beginning, for example, with the screw: more than half of screws - not Shovera recently only reigning naaviatsionnom the market, - and Rezhi, Garuda, etc. Motors, despite the obvious preference rendered by our military department to the Gnome - nevertheless try to apply other marks: Salmsona, Anzani, Kalepa (the copy of the Gnome changed some). It is necessary to divide military airplanes at least into two basic types: 1) easy high-speed airplanes and 2) heavier, not such high-speed, but much more load-lifting. |
' Flying ' qualities of airplanes compared with previous year have improved - requirements have been considerably raised, and they were executed by 4 airplanes; from the others some too could execute them, but not stakim success. 
But the most important conclusion which arises from all data of competition, it that it is impossible to demand physically from the same airplane sovershennorazlichnye quality.
