Because of the engine power limitations , effective payload were extremely small. Still constructed mostly of hardwood (braced with steel wires) and with linen fabric stiffened by flammable dope to form a wing surface. Aside from these primitive materials, the rudimentary aviation engineering of the time meant most aircraft were structurally fragile , and not infrequently broke up in flight especially when performing violent combat maneuvers such as pulling up from steep dives. But as early as 1909, these evolving flying machines were recognized to be not just toys, but weapons.

  • Aircraft Performance Data for WWI
    Aircraft performance data for WWI Stephen Harker 1st June 2017 Abstract This document has performance data for WWI aircraft that I have readily available. It will be extended as I obtain more and have the time to enter it. Any errors in transcription are mine. In general I prefer data with serial or other machine/test information. However, the best source is original test data, a primary source, to which I don’t have access at the present. Much of the recorded data in secondary sources is partial and sometimes inconsistent. I also will try to list indicative information from memoirs which, although probably uncorrected, should provide information on actual service aircraft. There is at least some limited data for manoeuvrability for some British aircraft. 1 Introduction During WWI considerable numbers of aircraft types were tested for selection for service use. Despite the lim- itations of the available equipment and methodology this data is of use. According to JH Morrow [123, p 368] France produced 264 prototypes for 38 service types; the United Kingdom 309 prototypes for 73 service types; and Germany 610 prototypes for 72 service types. The total aircraft production of the major powers is given by Morrow as [123, p 371]: France 52,000; German 48,000; and UK 43,000. The total aircraft engine productions were: France 88,000; while German and UK production was about 41,000 each. Morrow also gives [123, p 370] for Italy: Fiat built 15,380 six- cylinder water-cooled in-line engines and 1,336 aircraft (Isotta-Frashini and Ansaldo are also mentioned without numbers).

  • Vital Subjects: Race and Biopolitics in Italy, 1860…1920
    Vital Subjects Race and Biopolitics in Italy, 1860–1920 Transnational Italian Cultures 1 Transnational Italian Cultures Series editors: Dr Emma Bond, University of St Andrews Professor Derek Duncan, University of St Andrews Transnational Italian Cultures will publish the best research in the expanding ield of postcolonial, global and transnational Italian studies and aim to set a new agenda for academic research on what constitutes Italian culture today. As such, it will move beyond the physical borders of the peninsula as well as identifying existing or evolving transnational presences within the nation in order to relect the vibrant and complex make-up of today’s global Italy. Privileging a cultural studies perspective with an emphasis on the analysis of textual production, the series focuses primarily on the contemporary context but will also include work on earlier periods informed by current postcolonial/transnational methodology.
