Aircraft Manufacturing 1910

[5turbostart1]

a time when pride in workmanship was tops, thank you Bomberguy,seen many of your aviation clips, I,m a vintage model rc flyer this stuff is great,thanks so much for your service,were all free because vets like you....

[oldfart387]

Bomberguy, you're the best!!!

[coinlog1]

great stuff learned alot

[rentatrip1]

a collection of randon film clips spliced together - from different aircraft-

Dual Rudder "tail" with aft- elevator looks like Wright Model "B"- then other type aircraft seen - wing section fabrication looks much like Wright process, But after 100 years this is truly a documentary of value thank you - BOMBER GUY-

[Tignarius]

Superb. Thank you.

[warp13]

Great movie, thanks for posting.

I am here simply for the fact that the game Red Dead redemption is set in 1910, so I wanted to see some films from that period :D

[lepivert]

Nice french moustaches.

[bishop102]

damn ... i can build a plane with akk the technology why not?

[snake9510]

yes, you certeinly are able to... if you've ever built an all balsa construction model airplane then you know what i mean;-)

[mahmoudelsaeed2010]

perfect

espectacular video

Damn puzzling thing: The Vee-twin engine MUSTA be american-motorcycle breed!

[5311ATB]

The engine is a Dresch 1002 cc (not a Hedström crank assemby)

[mutterschied]

Thanks, fella! (Maybe Oskar Hedström visited the German Factory. Or opposite. Who cares!).

[5311ATB]

I doubt it, Auguste Dresch build motorcycle and airplane engines for Terrot, Peugeot, Voisin and Bleriot until 1914.

As far as I know he wasn't related to Henri Dresch (rather large motorcycle manufacturer 1923 onwards)

I've seen one of these V-Twin marvels myself,origianally fitted to a Bleriot really ahead of its time stuff. As far as I know he was killed in the great war, and his Sedan based workshop/factory destroyed.

Beautiful and unique material!

[bestinhouse]

Great vid. Hard to believe that these ever flew, and that there was adequate control around the pitch, yaw and roll axis. I wonder if these old planes were retired, or if most of them eventually crashed? I would imagine them to be very unstable in anything but a mild crosswind component.

[midpoint37]

There was a French Wright factory (that's why Wilbur went over there in 1908) which is where some of the video must have been made (sliding the ribs into pockets in the cloth and lacing them to the leading edge).

The part where they hang the elevator behind the twin tails was made after spring of 1910 which was when Wilbur experimented with this modification.

Thanks for posting this.

[GoodSoldierSvejk]

This alone justifies the existence of YouTube.

Very exceptional vid. Many thanks, Bomberguy. I belong to the "Friends of the Musée de l'Air", and I'll tell about this your founding: maybe we'll find something. The Voisin workshop in Rue de la ferme, Billancourt SW of Paris, seem to have been the first plane factory of the world, because man could come there and buy a plane, even from his own design! This film could have been also shot in Farman's factory (Billancourt too), because models close to the Voisin's were build there. We shall see.

Incredible video. A century of mechanization has made us forget that early planes and cars were all hand work. Like Partok81 says, more furniture makers than factory workers. Another humanizing moment was when the rib-cutter had to shove the other piece out of his way...no retakes in 1910 documentaries, I guess.

[DartDakota]

a)That's definitely a Voisin in construction and taking off but Twinten is right, the film cuts to a Wright Flyer. Sack the continuity girl.

b)It's a pity no-one told the constructors abour Profilm/Oracover.

c) Got the ???? on the propellors BG. The caption writer at the time obviously didn't know the difference between a rudder and the udder thing.

d) It was obviously intended to be a ducted fan with the propellor in use.

e) Jolly good five minutes. Thanks.

The wing fabric was the finest irish linen coated,painted by hand most likely, with a cellulose based dope.The dawn of aviation.Wire,wood and fabric.The aircraft seen flying? It looks so much like a french design.Or possibly an A V Roe..Very interesting vid.Thanks bomberguy.

[denberg2]

Keep 'em coming, Bomberguy!

[twinten]

It looked like the last scenes were of a Wright Flyer, not the plane most of the time under construction.

[N9155E]

hehe bomber ;-)) didn't you use this tune already in the wing transfer specialist video...

[Bomberguy]

Yup, but it fit this the best!

[Auggie56]

Thank you Bomberguy. Another excellent film.

[stjohnstjohn]

This Priceless find - congratulations. and...it flew!

[Partok81]

Some of the factory workers seem to have more in common with fine furniture makers than aircraft builders! At least compared to todays builders. Excellent find BomberGuy! Thanks for the vid.

[hopper1]

Awesome find! Truly a handmade aircraft. OSHA would have a field day in that factory LOL.

[Neritoc]

I love old music like this, I also like old video's especially about aircraft. thanks bomberguy
