Cody Circuit of Britain Biplane
The biplane flown by S. F. Cody during 1911 was basically a modification of his 1910 design and utilized the reliable 60 h.p. Green engine. The most obvious difference in appearance from his 1910 machine was the change to twin rudders, each of which was carried on a pair of bamboo tail booms. Small fixed tailplanes were fixed half-way up on each side of the rudders, which were themselves of lower aspect-ratio than the single surface employed on the previous machine. The rudders were arranged to fold sideways on their booms. The machine was entered in the Daily Mail ?10,000 Circuit of Britain, which started from Brooklands on 11th July, 1911, and extended over a course of 1,010 miles. After several minor hold-ups on the way Cody finished fourth, and his was the only British aircraft to complete the course. The machine came second in the 1911 contest for the Manville prize with a time of 3 hrs. 16 mins., and won the British Michelin Cup No. 2 and ?400 on 11th September, 1911, with a time of 3 hrs. 6.5 mins. after covering the 125 miles cross-country circuit at 40 m.p.h., being the sole competitor to complete the course. On 29th October, 1911, Cody won the British Empire Michelin Cup No. 1 and ?500 by flying for 261.5 miles over a 7-miles closed-circuit course at Laffan's Plain in 5 hrs. 15 mins. at the same time creating a new British record for duration. He later made a flight with two passengers standing on the lower wings and, on 27th January, 1912, covered a distance of 7 miles at Laffan's Plain at a height of 100 ft. with four passengers in addition to himself, a total load of 738 lb. which was made possible by the fitting of a 120 h.p. Austro-Daimler engine. The machine was entered for the races held at Hendon during April, 1912, but Cody was unable to participate owing to severe injuries received while flying as a passenger with his pupil, Lt. Fletcher, who crashed into some trees. At Whitsun, 1912, Cody flew from Farnborough to Hendon for the meeting there, but withdrew from the main 44-miles cross-country race owing to a disagreement over his handicap. Span, 40 ft. Length, 30 ft. Wing area. 450 sq. ft. Weight empty, 1,750 lb. Weight loaded. 2,500 lb. Maximum speed, 58 m.p.h. Ceiling, 5,000 ft. Range, 350 miles.
