Avro 1. Biplane 1908

6,499 XVIindustries  9.1 years ago

The first English Built powered areoplane to fly, built by Alliott Verdon Roe in his coach-house, it was a strange design, it was originally a Wright flyer style biplane with a canard at the front, it had no vertical tail surfaces and once Mr Roe added the French V8 engine the plane couldn't lift so he added two more lifting surfaces he later founded Av-Roe.Co (AVRO) and the company made many famous aircrafts like the Lancaster and my favourite, the Vulcan

The plane is not actually a flyer guys, she can do small hops but can't fly under full control due to lack of vertical stabilisation (just like the real thing)

It used my new wing warping roll controls as is just a fun plane to fly

    Amazing design, but it explodes while rolling. Maybe because I'm on high physics?
