1910
1910 - 0221.PDF
From the above side view of the latest biplane built by Mr. Maurice Farman it will be seen that the design has been considerably simplified. A noticeable feature is the boat arrangement which shields the aviator from the wind. Ae.C.F. Doings. A PILOTE-AVIATEUR certificate has been formally issued to Mr. Claude Grahame-White, and pilote-aero- naute certificates to MM. Blondel and Georges Baus. According to the annual report the membership now stands at 1,500, an increase of 470 during the year, and while last year 600,000 francs were distributed in prize money, over 400,000 francs have already been put up for 1910. New Ae.GF. Prizes. AT a recent meeting the Committee of the Aero Club of France decided to offer six new prizes, one of 1,000 francs and five of 500 francs each. The conditions will be announced shortly. At the same time the Committee passed the regulations for the 1,000 francs prize offered by M. Jacques Poliakoff for a gliding flight of one minute with the motor stopped. New Management at Juvisy. IT is reported that a new society has been formed to take over the management ot Port Aviation at Juvisy, and that the directors, who are said to be well-known sportsmen, will completely transform the flying ground. M. Levavasseur Rejoins the Antoinette Co. AFTER five months, both MM. Levavasseur and Gastambide have settled their differences with the other members of the board, and rejoined the Antoinette Co. M. J. Gastambide will be president of the board and managing director; M. Levavasseur, technical director ; and MM. Clolus and Robert Gastambide, managers. The C.A.M. and the French Trade. APPARENTLY the Commission Aerienne-Mixte is not always treated with that deference which it desires, even in France, and there is trouble brewing between that august body and the Chambre Syndicate des Industries Aeronautique, because the former refuses to admit to its meetings the delegates of the latter, they claiming to be one of the constituent parties represented on the Com mission. French Flight Motor Trials. THE series of trials with aviation engines, which are to be held in the A.C.F. laboratory on April 4th, have drawn 13 entries. They are divided into two classes, the first including two Gnomes, Farcot, Costa de Cockborne, Vergo, Rebour, Lemale, Aster, Chenu and Rossel-Peugeot. The three in the second class are Chenu, Dechantes and Gnome. Capt. Engelhardt at St. Moritz. ON Tuesday morning Capt. Engelhardt, on his Wright biplane, flew for 32 mins. above St. Moritz, and thus won the Kurverein aviation prize. The altitude of the St. Moritz lake is 6,000 ft. The latest Maurice Farman machine seen from the front, and clearly showing the special construction of the prow. The single propeller is driven by an 8-cyl. 50-h.p. Renault motor. 219
