A.Andrews - The Flying Maschine: Its Evolution through the Ages /Putnam/ |
A reconstructed model (made for the Qantas History of Flight collection) of du Temple’s full-size powered aircraft of 1874, the first to take off carrying a man. It had a retractable tricycle undercarriage. The wingspan was 117ft 8in, the length 53ft 5in. | A.Andrews - The Flying Maschine: Its Evolution through the Ages /Putnam/ |
A reliable impression of du Temple’s power-driven aircraft in which a pilot was launched down a ramp into a powered take-off (but not sustained flight) in 1874. At some stage a steam engine was fitted as power unit to the machine which had swept-forward wings enclosing a tractor propeller, and a rudder beneath the kite-form tailplane. | L.Opdyke - French Aeroplanes Before the Great War /Schiffer/ |
Although it did not fly, Felix du Temple's monoplane was the first powered aeroplane to carry a passenger and leave the ground, doing so in 1874. | A.Andrews - The Flying Maschine: Its Evolution through the Ages /Putnam/ |
In 1857 Felix du Temple flew the first powered model aircraft to take off under its own steam (literally) and land without damage. Immediately he registered a patent for this beautifully designed full-size aircraft. |
