JAMOGOCHIAN cycloplane (M.A. Jamogochian)
This cycle plane was designed in 1910 and consisted of a parasol front wing and biplane rear wings mounted on a bicycle. A front mounted propeller was driven by the pedals via a chain and bevel gear. A rudder was attached to an outrigger at the rear and was connected to the front wheel so that movement of the handlebars gave lateral control. The front wing was fitted with an elevator which was controlled by a lever attached to the crossbar.
