WOOD & MAAS biplane glider (B. Graham Wood and J.C. Maas)

   Wood was involved with a partner in the construction of a biplane glider in 1910, which was tested on the South Downs in the summer.
   The glider was an equal span two bay biplane, with a long front boom mounting a nose elevator and small triangular fin. A large rectangular rudder was pivoted direct to the trailing edges of the wings. Lateral control was by unusual type ailerons, hinged between the outboard interplane struts. The machine was mounted on a twin skid chassis, but was lightly constructed and almost immediately sustained damage and was soon wrecked.
