j TALK ;
I BY
I Rowland Burnstan
" —'
About the time the world was
speculating on war one aircraft,
manufacturer envisioned the design
of a combat airplane with speed,
maneuverability and fire - power
greater than was ever before pos
sible in a fighter.
The powerful 2000 horsepower
engine and huge propeller influ
enced the design of one of this air
plane’s most distinctive features—
the inverted gull wing.
Minimum weight and maximum
performance is the goal of this air
craft design. Increased power and
speed present a complexity of
problems. The shape and strength
of the fuselage must be aerodyna-,
mically and structurally sound.
The type of landing gear, its re
tracting mechanisms and ground
clearance for a highly efficient large
diameter propeller were but a few
of the problems solved.
—g___X—
. "V
Fig. 1 is a midwing design creat
ing a desirable wing location and
providing for a large diameter pro
peller but obviously creates a land
ing gear too long to fold into the1
wing section, and exceeding the
weight allowance for this part.
Fig. 2 indicates a design satis
factory insofar as the landing gear
is concerned; however, the winglo-i
cation in relation to the fuselage is
aerodynamically undesirable.
In the inverted gull design (Fig.
5) all of the desirable features of
the midwing, and low wing are
maintained as well as the huge
! propeller and necessary ground
clearance. » 1
