a WWI German bomber

^ those are 3 or even 4 questions

I'll answer two: It is an aeroplane, and it is a german one.

Is there a propeller blade showing? Looks sort of like a Wright design prop but it also looks like just one blade pointing down.

And the Testa d'Oro screenshot.

All i can say that this lower part obviously is one part/half of the prop. The upper part looks somehow different, maybe it is obstructed by some other part(?) – not sure. It is a two bladed prop anyway.

Some hints: Not a Wright flyer. Not a bomber.

WWI era?

Catfish · 04-25-22, 05:54 AM

Not quite certain. This is a pre-ww1-war model, it even made a (short-lived) record. One photo comment suggests it has been used in the war in the Balkans(?), but the inventor gave up airplane production in 1914.

So rather pre-war i'd say.

two engines?

Catfish · 04-25-22, 09:39 AM

^ one engine

Buddahaid · 04-25-22, 10:03 AM

Hans Grade monoplane? Anyway, I wasn't saying the aircraft was a Wright flyer but that the propeller looks much like a Wright design which was the first efficient prop. All the other designs up till then were gatbage.

Aktungbby · 04-25-22, 04:11 PM

ailerons or wingwarping?

Yep you are right, the early birds had some similarities to the Wright's models, and the prop looks alike.
A monoplane it is, though not a Hans Grade one.

Replicas of this bird mostly have ailerons, but it is not easily to see on the old bad photographs. There were different types that may have had a different design, also there was the initial experimental, civilian and military type. But they look alike somehow; in the early days of aviation there was no real serial production.

It is said that the "Militaertyp" already had ailerons, other souces say it was still warped.
You do not have to specify the exact type, name of the inventor (which also is the plane's name) is enough.

Hint: monoplanes are called Eindecker in german. I take it one can only see the lower half of the prop because the view at the upper part is obstructed by a relatively high-building engine.

Jimbuna · 04-26-22, 05:58 AM

Fokker?

Aktungbby · 04-26-22, 09:36 AM

Igo Etrich designed Taube? He sold out his aircraft production company in 1914...

Buddahaid · 04-26-22, 10:16 AM

Oh yeah, that makes sense.
