Clément-Bayard No.2
__NOTOC__ The Clément-Bayard No.2 was a French military airship of 1910, developed by automobile manufacturer Clément-Bayard. Unlike their Clément-Bayard No.1, previous design, this aircraft was designed and built entirely by the firm itself. On 7 September 1910, the airship was used to make the first aerial wireless communications, sending and receiving messages to the Eiffel Tower with a 65 kg (143 lb) transmitter carried aboard. The No.2 was offered for sale to the French Army, at FF 200,000 (less than half the price of No.1), but was again rejected as too expensive. It was next offered to sale to the UK, and on 16 October Maurice Clément himself piloted it across the English Channel, setting off from Trosly-Breuil, Breuil at 6:55 am and arriving at Wormwood Scrubs, where ''The Daily Mail'' newspaper had funded construction of an airship hangar, airship shed, at 1:25 pm, where around 3000 people had gathered to see it arrive.

Airship Hangar
Airship hangars (also known as airship sheds) are large specialized buildings that are used for sheltering airships during construction, maintenance and storage. Rigid airships always needed to be based in airship hangars because weathering was a serious risk. History Early hangars The first real airship hangar was built as Hangar "Y" at Chalais-Meudon near Paris in 1879 where the engineers Charles Renard and Arthur Constantin Krebs constructed their first airship " La France". Hangar "Y" is one of the few remaining airship hangars in Europe. The construction of the first operational rigid airship LZ1 by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin started in 1899 in a floating hangar on Lake Constance at Manzell today part of Friedrichshafen. The floating hangar turned into the direction of the wind on its own and so it was easier to move the airship into the hangar exactly against the wind. For the same reason later rotating hangars were built at Biesdorf (today part of Berlin) and at t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
