Biplan I.I.Steglau. Cross-section balance
| to Pass to sections: Biplan I.I.Steglau This Device well planned, but speed has shown, despite the powerful engine, only 101 km/hour. During tests had some failures. пластиковая панель The Top bearing surface compared with the bottom is strongly enough taken out forward. Dvepary very thick oak racks, converging above, and below leaning against skis, bear on itself all weight of an airplane, a component of 817 kg (without the pilot). Motor Argus of 100 h.p. It is located ahead and bears nasazhennyj directly on a shaft the screw in diameter of 2,5 m. |
to One of the most interesting airplanes of competition of 1912 on boldness of the plan was biplan I.I.Steglau. The designer has constructed it entirely, including and a covering of wings and wheels, from arborita, a skeleton of wings were zheleznyebalki. It has created such durability to an airplane that at the most risky failures, as for example, hits from a full speed on 236 earth in a deep ditch or at falling during flight on one party, it got off insignificant rather with breakages and every other day - two already again left in the field. 
Cross-section balance is reached by lateral wings. These wings operate during flight automatically, set in motion with a pendulum/of about 2 m, having on the end cargo is powerful 1,5 poods.
