The Bristol Type 123 was a biplane fighter designed to Air Ministry specification F.7/30. It called for a four-gun fighter with the preference that it was powered by the evaporatively-cooled Rolls-Royce Goshawk. Testing revealed serious lateral instability, which re-designs failed to reduce Further development was abandoned and F7/30 was won by the Gloster Gladiator https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/bristol-type-123/ #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #biplane #Bristol123 #BristolType123 #fighter #RAF #RoyalAirForce

The Blackburn B-5 Baffin biplane torpedo bomber was a development of the Ripon, the chief change being that a 545 hp (406 kW) Bristol Pegasus I.MS radial replaced the Ripon’s Napier Lion water-cooled inline engine.

The Blackburn firebrand was a carrier based strike fighter of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm.

Curtiss Model D Pusher, 1912 (replica). Glenn Curtiss was engaged, sometimes in a legal sense, in a fight with the Wright Brothers for dominance in the world of early aviation - Curtiss machines had ailerons, rather than the Wright-designed wing warping, for roll control. Although the Model D suffered, as did most of the early pusher designs, from higher drag due to the wide-spaced rear fuselage frame members, it was still a useful machine, performing both the first take-off from a vessel (Nov. 1910) and the first landing (Jan. 1911). This replica is of a 'headless pusher', so called by Curtiss because the earlier forward mounted canard control surfaces were omitted in this model #earlyaviation #biplane #GlennCurtiss #Curtiss #aeroplane #pusher #aircraft #navalaviation #USA #WrightBrothers #avgeek #aviationlovers #CurtissModelD #museum #replica
