EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Dufaux Biplane, a remarkable aviation innovation from the early 1910s. The biplane design, with its two wings stacked on top of each other, was a common configuration during this era of aviation history. However, the Dufaux Biplane stands out with its unique aileron placement. Ailerons are the wing flaps used for lateral control, and in this aircraft, they were attached to the rear struts between the planes, rather than the wings themselves. The undercarriage of the Dufaux Biplane was not sprung, meaning it did not have shock absorbers to cushion the landing. Instead, the pilot relied on their skill and the plane's design to absorb the impact. The aircraft was powered by a 25hp Anzani engine, a reliable and powerful choice for the time. The Dufaux Biplane is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of early aviators. Despite the challenges of designing and building a functional aircraft, they continued to push the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of flight. This photograph captures a moment in history when innovation and adventure collided, as the world looked to the skies with wonder and excitement. The Dufaux Biplane may not have revolutionized commercial air travel, but it played a crucial role in the development of aviation technology. Its unique design and powerful engine paved the way for future advancements in aircraft engineering, bringing us closer to the sophisticated and efficient aircraft we know today.
