Train 6T
The Train 2T, 4T and 6T were low power piston engines for light aircraft, produced in France. They were inverted, air-cooled in-line engines with the same bore and stroke, differing chiefly in the number of cylinders. Design and development In the 1930s Train introduced a series of air-cooled, inverted in-line piston engines for light aircraft. The T series all used the same cylinders, pistons, connecting rods, valve trains and ignition system, combined into 2 (2T), 4 (4T), and 6 (6T) cylinder units of the same layout. The number of crankshaft bearings (3, 5 or 7) and throws (2, 4 or 6) naturally depended on the number of cylinders, as did the number of cams (4, 8 or 12) on the underhead camshaft. Each cylinder had a swept volume of , so the displacements were , and and the rated outputs , and respectively. The Train 6D was a variant of the 6T with increased bore of .

Mauboussin Hémiptère
The Mauboussin M.40 Hémiptère was an experimental, single seat, single engine light aircraft with unequal span tandem wings, designed in France in the 1930s. Only one was built. Design and development Between 1928 and 1932 Pierre Mauboussin worked with Louis Peyret in the Peyret-Mauboussin concern before setting up on his own as Avions Mauboussin. Peyret had earlier designed a tandem wing glider which won first prize at the first British gliding competition in 1922. Despite the overlap of designers and the shared layout, Mauboussin's tandem winged Hémiptère was significantly different from Peyret's aerodynamically as well as being a powered aircraft. The journal ''Flight'' presumed that it was a reference to the insect order Hemiptera, whose hindwings are usually shorter than their forewings. This was also a feature of the Hémiptère, in contrast to the identical, swept wings of the Peyret glider. Apart from its tandem wing, the Hémiptère was a conventional 193 ...

Hennion II
The Hennion was a two-seat French training and touring aircraft, completed just before World War II began. It was flown again post-war and later fitted with a new engine; it survived into the early 1960s. Design and development Emile Hennion was the chief pilot at the Casablanca Aero Club in the 1930s. Just before the outbreak of World War II he designed, built and flew a side-by-side seat two seat aircraft, powered by a Train 4A 01 inverted four cylinder air-cooled engine which produced only . His goals were safety in the hands of a beginner, economy, comfort and true touring ability. The first two features made it of some interest as an ''ab initio'' trainer after France had gone to war. In this pre-war form it was known as the Hennion 01. It was a low wing, cantilever monoplane, its wings straight tapered with blunt tips and of quite high aspect ratio (10). The wings were built around a single spar and fabric covered, though the ailerons were plywood skinned. The fusela ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Duverne-Saran
The Duverne-Saran 01 was a twin engine, three seat touring aircraft built in France in the mid-1930s. Only one was completed. Design The Duverne-Saran 01 was designed to carry a pilot and two passengers rapidly but economically with the extra security provided by two engines. It was a wooden aircraft with a low wing, low, cantilever wing set with about 6° of dihedral (aeronautics), dihedral. The wing was in three parts, with a short span, constant chord (aeronautics), chord centre section and two straight-tapered, square-tipped outer panels. Long ailerons on the outer panels occupied about 60% of the span. There were flap (aeronautics)#Types of flap, split flaps on either side of the ailerons. Structurally the wings had a box spar, shaping the section and plywood covered; the section aft of the box was formed by rib (aeronautics), ribs and was aircraft fabric covering, fabric covered. The Duverne-Saran 01's engines were mounted from the wing at the junctions between the centr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caudron C
The Société des Avions Caudron was a French aircraft company founded in 1909 as the Association Aéroplanes Caudron Frères by brothers Gaston and René Caudron. It was one of the earliest aircraft manufacturers in France and produced planes for the military in both World War I and World War II. From 1933 onwards, it was a subsidiary of Renault. Alphonse (Gaston) (1882–1915) and René Caudron (1884–1959) Born in Favières, Somme to parents who farmed nearby in Romiotte, the Caudron brothers were educated at a college in Abbeville. Gaston, as Alphonse was always known, intended to become an engineer but his education was cut short by health problems; René was interested in the development of mechanics and was a sportsman. After military service in an artillery regiment, they returned to work on the farm. They began to build their first aircraft, a large biplane, in August 1908. Initially unable to obtain an engine, they flew it as a glider, towed by a horse, and tested it t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brochet MB
''Constructions Aéronautiques Maurice Brochet'' was a French manufacturer of light aircraft established by Maurice Brochet (18 June 1899 – 16 June 1969) in Neauphle-le-Château in 1947. Aircraft design and construction Initially, the firm sold plans for light aircraft of Brochet's own designs to amateur constructors, but gradually undertook more and more aircraft construction, with its final designs not marketed for homebuilding at all. During the early 1950s, Brochet sold some 58 light planes of eight designs to the French government for distribution to the country's aeroclubs. Aircraft produced Maurice Brochet built the MB.10 and the MB.20 gliders in the 1930s. The latter became the Avia 50 motorized glider. He also built three units of the MB.30 monoplane with parasol wing in 1934 before opening the Brochet factory. The aircraft produced in series by the factory after WW II were the following:Simpson, 2005, p. 71 * Brochet MB.40 (1 built) * Brochet MB.50 (12 built) * Br ...

Tokyo Imperial University LB-2
The Tokyo Imperial University LB-2 was a small, single-engined light civil aircraft, designed by students of the Tokyo Imperial University as a two-year project. The sole example first flew in December 1939. Design and development The aeronautics divisions of German universities had a tradition of student design projects, often gliders. In 1936 students at the Tokyo Imperial began a similar, two-year project, though for a small two seat powered aircraft. Their first design, the LB-1 (LB for light blue, the school colour), with side-by side seats was abandoned in favour of the LB-2 which had tandem seats. It was a conventional high wing aircraft, though with an unusually refined wing plan; the inner half was rectangular but the outer panels were pointedly elliptical. Like the rest of the aircraft the wing structure was wooden and its covering fabric. The LB-2 was powered by a air-cooled, inverted, six cylinder Train 6C, a French engine which proved unreliable.

Potez-CAMS 161
The Potez-CAMS 161 was a large, French six-engined flying boat airliner, designed to operate on the North Atlantic routes that were opening up in the late 1930s. Its development was almost halted by World War II. Just one was built and partially tested before its destruction by Allied forces near the war's end. Design and development The Potez-CAMS 161 was one of three French large, six-engined flying boats intended as airliners on the North Atlantic route. The others were the Latécoère 631 and the SNCASE SE.200. In the summer of 1938, the 161's aerodynamics had been investigated and refined with the Potez-CAMS 160, a 5/13 scale flight model. Very different dates for the first flight appear in the literature: a contemporary report in ''Flight'' gives it as within few weeks before 7 December 1939, with "further flying tests" in the first half of 1942, whereas Hartmann has 20 March 1942 as the first flight date. In either case the CAMS machine was the first of the three to f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
