EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the Bleriot-Voisin float glider taking flight on the Seine River in July 1905. The image shows the plane, with its distinctive wings and floatation devices, shortly after launch. At this time, aviation was still in its infancy, and the ability to take off and land on water was a significant advancement in aircraft design. Louis Bleriot, a pioneering French aviator, designed and built the Bleriot-Voisin float glider, which was the first successful monoplane to take off and land on water. This achievement marked a major milestone in the development of seaplane technology and expanded the possibilities for aircraft transport. The Bleriot-Voisin float glider was a single-seater, with a wingspan of 12.2 meters and a length of 8.5 meters. It was powered by a 12-horsepower Anzani engine, which gave it a top speed of around 60 kilometers per hour. The aircraft's lightweight construction, combined with its innovative design, allowed it to take off and land on water with remarkable ease. In this photograph, we see the Bleriot-Voisin float glider poised on the water, its wings catching the sunlight as it prepares to take flight. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment, as the aviator readies himself for takeoff. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the early pioneers of aviation and their relentless pursuit of innovation in aircraft design.
