The engine, fuel tanks, cockpit and machine guns about 90 per cent of the overall weight was positioned in the first two metres of the craft, giving it a very close centre of gravity. Before I get a slew of emails telling me that the engine is a radial and not a rotary, you can read about this type of rotary engine here — this one is a rotary just not a Wankel rotary.

This aircraft was longitudinally stable and was equipped with a trimmable tailplane; indeed some felt it was too stable for a dogfighter. Sometimes, Snoopy has used the plane to fly places, and not for war, for instance, in a series of strips from July and August , he tries to fly Schroeder to music camp.

Sopwith Aircraft There was as expected a modest push force needed to maintain the desired pitch attitude. Unlike the elegant and docile handling Pup , the Camel was a high strung animal, difficult and dangerous to fly.

  • Sopwith Camel
    Sopwith Camel Sopwith 2F.1 Camel A Sopwith Camel at the Imperial War Museum, London Type Biplane fighter Manufacturer Sopwith Aviation Company Maiden flight December 1916 Introduction June 1917 Primary users RFC (RAF) RNAS, AAF The Sopwith Camel Scout is a British First World War single-seat fighter aircraft that was famous for its maneuverability. Design and development Intended as a replacement for the Sopwith Pup, the Camel prototype first flew in December 1916, powered by a 110 hp Clerget 9Z. Known as the "Big Pup" early on in its development, the aircraft was armed with two .303 in (7.7 mm) Vickers machine guns mounted in the cowl, firing forward through the propeller disc. A fairing surrounding the gun installation created a hump that led to the name Camel. The type entered squadron service in June 1917 with No. 4 Squadron of the Royal Naval Air Service, near Dunkirk. The following month, it became operational with No. 70 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps. By February 1918, 13 squadrons were fully equipped with the Camel. Approximately 5,500 were ultimately produced. Operational history Replica of Camel F.I flown by Lt. George A. Vaughn Jr., 17th Aero Squadron 1 This aircraft is currently displayed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force Sopwith Camel, 1930s magazine illustration with the iconic British WWI fighter in a dogfight with a Fokker triplane Unlike the preceding Pup and Triplane, the Camel was not considered pleasant to fly. The Camel owed its difficult handling characteristics to the grouping of the engine, pilot, guns, and fuel tank within the first seven feet of the aircraft, coupled with the strong gyroscopic effect of the rotary engine.

  • Sopwith Aviation Company Fighters
    SOPWITH AVIATION COMPANY FIGHTERS The 1913 ‘Tabloid’ was the first Sopwith fighter The Type St.B’s compact design and small size led to the nickname “Tabloid” after a popular small medicinal tablet. With outstanding performance and docile handling Tabloid land- planes were ordered for the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) as high speed scouts, the first of a long line of fighters from Kingston. In 1914 a Tabloid floatplane was the first British aircraft to win a major international air race Sopwith experimented with floats on a Tabloid and entered it at the last moment for the Schneider Trophy Contest at Monaco. Harry Hawker had taken a Tabloid to Australia so it was the highly experienced Howard Pixton who flew the floatplane to win the hugely prestigious 280 km race. A few extra laps flat out saw him take the 300 km world speed record to 92 mph. The 1915 Schneider, a military floatplane development of the ‘Tabloid’, was Sopwith’s first aircraft in large scale production The Schneider, and its development the Baby, served with the RNAS throughout World War I pioneering operations from ship and shore on submarine and Zeppelin patrols. They were also used against Zeppelin bases and did sterling work around the Mediterranean. Some 600 Schneiders and Babys were built in Kingston and by sub-contractors. Seven were sold to France and ten bought by Norway were used for coastal patrols until 1930, making it the longest serving Sopwith type. The 1916 ‘1½ Strutter’ was the first two-seater fighter with a fixed forward firing synchronised gun as well as the usual observer’s flexible rear gun With Sopwith in full production for the RNAS, the RFC’s desire for this remarkably clean, fast, well armed fighter was met by subcontracting with a design royalty paid to Sopwith.

Sopwith made his first solo flight in a Howard Wright Monoplane in 1910 and was forever hooked on avia- tion. A year later, after setting several records, he opened his own flying school. Not satisfied with other designers’ air- craft, he built his first biplane near the end of 1912, and at the beginning of 1913, The Sopwith Aviation Company was in business. Combining his love of things nautical as well as aeronautical, his early production focused on float planes. With the outbreak of the Great War, however, Sopwith’s efforts turned to the defense of the United Kingdom. The company’s most famous creation was the F.1 Camel, so named after the humped fairing that enclosed its twin Vickers machine guns each of which was fed by a disintegrating belt of 250 rounds. The prototype first flew in Decem- ber 1916, and production models entered service in July 1917. The tight grouping of all the weight, including the pilot, between the propeller and the center of the wings made the plane unforgiving in the hands of an inexperienced pilot at low altitude but highly maneuverable at high altitude.

This paper discusses performance and tactics of the 18 fighters in the WWI part of the collection. During the first one hundred years of flight great advances were made in fighter performance. However, fighter tactics developed in the early years of WWI are still in use today. A retrospective analysis of the Museum of Flight collection of WWI fighters will show why certain aircraft were successful, where others weren’t. Climb and turn performance of these airplanes are compared and the tactics they fostered will be discussed. Speed, handling and stall speeds will be discussed in relation to the utility of these aircraft. new Personal Courage Wing at Seattle’s Museum of 1. Introduction Flight (MOF).
