Arsenal-Delanne 10-C2

6,232 Chingonito  5.2 years ago

The Arsenal-Delanne 10-C2 two-seat fighter, designed by Maurice Delanne and built by the Arsenal de l'Aéronautique, was of so-called Nenadovich biplane or tandem wing configuration, the tandem-mounted wings providing a continuous slot effect and offering exceptional center of gravity range. The fighter was of all metal stressed-skin construction, which used a sandwich technique, with a smooth dural skin welded to a corrugated sheet. Pilot and gunner sat in tandem under a single canopy at the rear of the fuselage, which was level with the rear wing, which carried twin tailplanes. This arrangement gave the gunner a clear field of fire for his planned armament of two 7.5 mm machine guns, which was to be supplemented by a 20 mm cannon firing through the propellor hub and two more machine guns in the wing. The aircraft was fitted with a retractable tailwheel undercarriage and was powered by a single 860 hp (641 kW) Hispano-Suiza 12Ycrs 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.

    @Chingonito that explains it. I’m pretty much the same. The girlfriend is not happy with how much aviation related stuff I have all around the house hahaha

    @Mustang51 I grew up loving planes, military planes especially and am a WW2 history buff.

    @Chingonito that’s a shame but I bet it was fun while it lasted. Do you have a specific interest in aviation or did it come from the game?

    @Mustang51 we used to compete to build the fastest or highest flying planes but as they got older they lost interest.

    @Chingonito I’m glad to hear that it helps you in so many ways. I also love how this is a game which can be enjoyed at any skill level or age. The community is very friendly and welcoming to all so it must be a fantastic game to play with your kids. Do you work on builds together or is it all individual?

    @Mustang51 once you start working in the app and learn how to manipulate it more it becomes easier. I started playing it with my kids then found that it helps with my fine muscle coordination and that helps with my MS so I keep on doing it

    This is great too! After looking through your builds, I can tell you have dramatically improved over the space of one year. It’s very impressive!
