EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Clyde Cessna, a pioneering American aviator, is seen proudly standing next to his groundbreaking monoplane, The Comet. The image, captured in 1917, marks a significant milestone in the annals of aviation history as The Comet was the first aeroplane in the United States to feature cantilever wings. Cantilever wings are a crucial design innovation in aircraft engineering, allowing the wings to be supported without the need for external struts or wires. This design not only enhances the aerodynamic efficiency of the plane but also contributes to a sleeker and more streamlined appearance. Cessna, a self-taught engineer, designed and built The Comet in his workshop in Wichita, Kansas. The monoplane, with its powerful 100 horsepower engine, was an impressive feat of engineering for its time, capable of reaching speeds of up to 75 miles per hour. The Comet's innovative design and impressive performance caught the attention of the aviation community, and Cessna's reputation as a visionary aviation pioneer began to grow. This photograph captures a moment in time when Clyde Cessna stood at the forefront of aeronautical innovation, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in aircraft design and paving the way for the future of aviation. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a treasure trove of rare and historic aviation images. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of early aviators like Clyde Cessna, who dared to dream and create the future of flight.
