Humber Tractor Biplane
At the 1910 Olympia Aero Show, Humber Ltd., of Coventry, exhibited, together with the le Blon and the Lovelace Monoplanes, a three-seat tractor biplane designed specifically for tuition purposes. The engine was mounted on the lower wings, the pilot being seated on the trailing-edge, with a pupil's seat on each side; triple controls were provided, with means for the instructor to override the pupil's movements. The mainplanes were made in three sections for easy dismantling, and all spars and struts - with the exception of the tail booms - were of steel tubing. A simple twin-wheeled undercarriage was located under the mainplanes, with a single tailwheel supporting the empennage, which was similar to that of the Humber Lovelace Monoplane. Lateral control was by wing-warping. The engine was a 50 h.p. Humber which drove a 7 ft. diameter propeller. Span, 41 ft. 6 ins. Length. 36 ft. Wing area, 482 sq. ft. Estimated speed, 50 m.p.h. Price, ?1,100.
