JANUARY 15, 1920 00000000 o o o o o The Nieuport O single - seater sporting biplane, 180 h.p. Le Rhone engine " Flight " Copyright o o o o o o o o o o 00000000 The second machine shown by~2sieuports, the type 29 C 1, is of very similar design to the racer, but is a considerably- larger machine. The fuselage is of the usual menweoque 4; Flight " Copyright The " Lobster pot " radiator (Lamblin) on one of the Nieuport biplanes type, with tail plane and vertical fin built integral with the body and covered with three-ply wood. The 300 h.p. Hispano- Suiza engine is covered in as in the racer, but there is no nose radiator. The cooling is accomplished by means of two Lamblin radiators, mounted between the struts of the undercarriage, as shown in one of our sketches. In the nose of the fuselage there is a small square of gauze, behind which is a funnel or duct of aluminium which serves to ventilate the engine-room. The main planes have two pairs of wood struts on each side, and the bracing is by stream- line wire. Ailerons are fitted to the bottom plane only. The undercarriage consists of two simple Vees in wood, with a stream-line fairing over the divided axle. A short triangular-shaped piece of elastic is stretched over the opening for the axle, so as to maintain the covering of the casing when the machine is flying, while allowing of the travel of the axle while landing and getting off. The exhibits on the Nieuport stand, as regards aeroplanes —there were several motor-boats— were completed by a single- seater sporting machine, type 28, with 180 h.p. Le Rhone engine. Constructionally the type 28 differs from the other machines in that it has a stream-line, but not monocoqiw body. In front the fuselage is of circular section, covered with three-ply wood. The rear portion is of polygonal section and is fabric-covered. One pair of inter-plane struts on each side connect the main planes, of which the bottom is straight while the top plane has a dihedral angle. The bracing is in the form of cables, the lift being in duplicate. A fairing of wood is interposed between duplicate cables. There are four ailerons, of which the bottom pair is operated by tubes inside the wing, and connected up to the top ailerons OJtO o o o 000 A study in contrasts : O The little 10 Q h.p. de Mar- * Passe- o o o o Partout ' ' standing under the O wings of the O Handley O Page W 8 at Le Bourget Aerodrome OOOO 67
