    Histoire De La Voiture Volante Les Six Concepts De La Voiture Volante 1917 : L'avion‐Automobile Curtiss

    Histoire de la Voiture volante Qui n’a jamais rêvé de s’échapper des bouchons de circulation en s’envolant à bord de sa voiture volante? Les six concepts de la voiture volante Pour comprendre comment les voitures volantes ont cherché à conquérir le ciel, il faut tout d’abord connaître les différents concepts élaborés jusqu’à ce jour par des inventeurs qui ont bien souvent risqué leur vie dans cette aventure et même, pour certains, perdue. Les six concepts proposés ici vous permettront de mieux comprendre l’histoire palpitante des voitures volantes tout en vous présentant un aperçu de demain : 1. L’avion‐automobile dont les ailes sont repliées ou enlevées pour prendre la route : à la base, c’est un avion; 2. La voiture volante munie d’ailes repliables ou intégrées : à la base, c’est une voiture; 3. La voiture qui devient volante en s’intégrant de façon fixe ou amovible à une partie d’avion; 4. La voiture volante munie de turbines pour décoller et atterrir à la verticale; 5. La voiture volante munie d’hélices, à la manière d’un hélicoptère ou d’un autogire; 6. Le véhicule personnel aérien (PAV) (sans roue). 1917 : l’avion‐automobile Curtiss L’avion des frères Orville et Wilbur Wright venait à peine de quitter le tarmac en 1903 que déjà d’ingénieux inventeurs cherchaient à les faire rouler sur nos routes. Considéré comme étant le premier avion‐automobile inventé, l’avion automobile, créé par Glenn Curtiss en 1917, était un véhicule à 3 places (une place avant et deux places arrière) intégré à un avion triplan.

    EAA CHAPTER 93 DECEMBER 2015 CORBEN COURIER Chapter Meeting December 21 at Fitchburg Public Library Our December meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 21 at the Fitchburg Public Library, 2nd floor meeting room. The meeting will begin at 6:30 PM but feel free to come a bit early for hanger flying and fellowship. We will elect new members and officers to the Chapter 93 Board and present 2015 service awards to members. Sam Bousfield, founder of Samson Motors, Inc. and inventor of the Switchblade aircraft that drives and flies, will be our featured speaker for this meeting. Mr. Bousfield will be presenting information on the exciting Switchblade development program live from their operation in Redmond, Oregon through a remote link. This remote presentation format is a first for us and it could lead other great programs in the future. Please join us for this unique experience! - Rob Tweed Flying and Driving Nirvana? We may not want to face this reality but, in the grand scheme of things, we are on this planet for a relatively short stay. So, how are we to spend our precious time? Pursuits filled with drudgery and boredom or ones packed with fun and excitement? Like most everyone, I’ll opt for “fun and exciting” every time. For me, taking the controls and flying your own personal aircraft is right up there at the top of this list. Nothing I do comes close in delivering the sheer joy and sense of freedom as flying. “Can it get any better than this?” I sometimes find myself thinking these thoughts as I am cruising around in the skies.
