P.Lewis British Aircraft 1809-1914 (Putnam)

Lamplough Orthopter

   Designed and built by Lamplough and Son Ltd. at Albany Works, Willesden Junction, London, N.W.10, the Orthopter was exhibited at the Olympia Aero Show of 1909. Designed to operate on the principles of bird flight, the machine consisted of two pairs of biplane wings moving with a swaying motion in a figure-of-eight between a pair of similar fixed wings. Biplane elevators, complete with attendant rudders, were fitted fore and aft for control, forward motion being imparted to the ash structure by two pusher propellers. Span, 20 ft. Wing area, 945 sq. ft. Weight loaded, 950 lb. Price, ?1,000 with guarantee of flight.


Lamplough Lifterplane

   The Lifterplane was built during 1910 by Lamplough and Son Ltd., of Albany Works, Willesden Junction, London, N.W. 10. It was a biplane ornithopter with wings actuated by a 25 h.p. engine, and is believed to have been the Orthopter modified.

    AERO SHOW. - The Lamplough Orthopter Biplane, seen from behind. The central planes, which run longitudinally, sway to and fro with a lifting effect, while the lateral biplanes on either side are rigid in the usual way. At the extreme rear is a biplane elevator containing a rudder, and in front there is a precisely similar structure. The machine is unfinished.

    In the Lamplough propeller the blades are each made from a single piece of wood, and are hollowed out from the root towards the tip. They are mounted in a hollow copper stamping which forms the boss.

    AERO SHOW.- The Lamplough Orthopter Biplane, front elevation, showing the cranks which sway the lifters and the link motion which reverses their angle of inclination so that each stroke is effective. The dotted lines indicate the limiting positions of the lifters in each direction.

    The Lamplough machine has been designed to lift itself direct from the ground by the aid of waving aeroplanes. It has stationary aeroplanes for gliding.
