P.Lewis British Aircraft 1809-1914 (Putnam)

George and Jobling Biplane

   The George and Jobling Biplane was designed by A. E. George and was built by George and Jobling at Newcastle in 1910. The machine was a single-seat pusher with a four-cylinder 60 h.p. Green engine which drove a 9 ft. propeller mounted on a fixed shaft above the engine, to which it was chain-geared. Exhibited at the Olympia Aero Show of 1910, other unusual features embodied in the design were the hollow struts and spars, balancers for lateral control mounted mid-way between the wing-tips and the sharp angle at which the skids on the undercarriage and wings were mounted to enable the aeroplane to clear ditches and other obstructions on the ground. Control surfaces comprised a forward elevator, mid-gap Curtiss-type ailerons and a single rudder mounted below a fixed tailplane. The machine made several successful flights at Gosforth during the summer of 1910. Span, 30 ft. Length, 31 ft. Wing area, 325 sq. ft. Weight empty, 662 lb. Weight loaded, 862 lb. Maximum speed, 48 m.p.h.
