P.Lewis British Aircraft 1809-1914 (Putnam)
Cole Tandem Monoplane
The Cole Tandem Monoplane was exhibited at the 1911 Olympia Aero Show by W. Cole and Sons Ltd., 92 High Street. Kensington, W. 14. It was fitted with two mainplanes of equal span set at the same level and separated by a horizontal gap equal to the chord, the pilot's seat being installed between them. It was proposed to fit an engine of 120 h.p. mounted low down, with a chain drive to a longitudinal shaft carrying an airscrew at each end, respectively forward of the front plane and aft of the rear plane. An elevator for longitudinal control was located under the pilot's seat, and a lifting tailplane and single rudder were carried on tail booms. The outer portions of the mainplanes were arranged to fold upwards to reduce storage space. The machine was exhibited at Olympia in an unfinished state and did not fly subsequently.
