EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Lee-Richards Annular Monoplane in its raw, uncovered state, revealing the intricate engineering and design elements that make this aircraft a remarkable aviation innovation. The Lee-Richards Annular Monoplane, designed by American aviation pioneers Lee and Richards in the early 1920s, was an annular (ring-shaped) monoplane, which meant that the wings encircled the fuselage in a continuous loop. This unique design aimed to reduce drag and increase lift, making the aircraft more aerodynamic and efficient. The plane's sleek, streamlined shape is evident in this image, with the bare metal framework of the wings and fuselage on full display. The engine, a powerful Curtiss OX-5, can be seen mounted centrally in the fuselage, driving a two-bladed propeller at the rear. The cockpit, positioned at the front of the aircraft, is open to the elements, giving the pilot an unobstructed view of the horizon. Despite its innovative design, the Lee-Richards Annular Monoplane never entered commercial production. However, it remains an important chapter in the history of aviation, demonstrating the ingenuity and determination of early aviation pioneers as they pushed the boundaries of what was possible in flight. This photograph is a testament to their vision and the beauty of the aircraft they created.
