the Talented pilot and the talented designer. Three-motor biplan
| to Pass to sections: the Talented pilot and the talented designer In this connection the project it is possible to tell that triplany, under construction earlier in France, Germany, England, have not revealed advantages of this scheme in comparison with biplanami. Same later construction triplana ' KOMTA ' has confirmed also. At realisation of the project I. M.Gakkelja trudnostivoznikli and with kardannoj transfer from motors on screws as it happens in 1916 with V.A.Slesareva's plane. |
Actually it was the bomber project as to exterminate this heavy plane owed land objects by means of bombs. It represented triplan with four engines located in a fuselage, actuating two pushing propellers on wings. However military department I did not hasten to release money for building of the new plane, as at this time uspeshnoprohodil already test I.I.Sikorsky's plane ' Ilja Muromets ' and consequently also this plane. M.Gakkelja has not been constructed. 
without having found financial support, I. M.Gakkel has been compelled to stop the vigorous activity in aircraft though ' the first love ' he did not forget the never. Already in a Soviet period, in 1921, he draws ' a perspective view passenger triplana on 25... 30 persons ', razrabatyvaetshemu five-motor triplana and even do sketches ' kvadriplana '. In 1922 he develops the outline sketch of the passenger plane on 15 places. It was three-motor biplan with two pushing and one pulling screws. I. M.Gakkel offered even to engineer B.N.Vorobevu much writing in due time in magazines about planes Gakkelja, to base joint-stock company on manufacture and operation egosamoleta.
