At subsonic and supersonic high speeds, the wing could be pivoted fore-and-aft up to 60° to the aircraft's fuselage for better high speed performance. At lower speeds, during take-offs and landings, the wing would be perpendicular like a conventional wing to provide maximum lift and control qualities. As the aircraft gained speed, the wing would be pivoted to increase the oblique angle to reduce the drag and fuel consumption. Flown 79 times until retirement on 8/7/82.

  AMV 211 Prototype (AMV Aircraft)

211 2003 (in development) = VTOL experiment with ducted-fan propulsion. 450hp turbocharged Mazda rotary driving a belly-mounted, 94" five-blade prop; span: 20'0" length: 20'0" load: 900#. Wings were set at an angle to the fan, and the fuselage itself provided lift. Take-off was with the fan horizontal, blowing downward. As the ship tilted forward, wings would provide lift and the fan would then start blowing rearward through a system of louvers. For landing, the process was reversed.

  Andermat (Aerial Age via Joe Martin)

1916 = 3pOB; two 120hp Andermat (modified Hall-Scott V-8); span: 72'0" length: c.38'0"; ff: 4/16/16 (p: Roy Francis). Gross wt: 5000#. Project funding by Gray Taxicab Co of San Francisco. Double interplane ailerons, twin tails. POP: 1 prototype constructed for Army bomber evaluation was shipped to San Diego after this test flight, then reportedly ended up at Kelly Field TX, at which point its track vanished, and the military contract for 21 planes went unfilled. The company name was a blend of principals' names, the only obvious part being the "mat," for Matches.

Principals at original incorporation (12/15/15) were S W Piercy, A G Smith, J J Sullivan; after reinstatement of franchise (3/4/16) were J R Kelly, W G Loomis, Robert P Matches. The company apparently had financial problems. (— Roy Mize 1/18/08)

1916 = OB, about which almost nothing is known, but it does appear, designated as an Andermat Biplane, flying in a photo that also shows part of the company's large bomber.

  Andiz 2-60 [X4244] (Roy Russell via John W Underwood coll)

2-60 aka C-2 1928 = 2pOhwM; 60hp Anzani; span: 30'0" length: 20'0" load: 400# v: 100/85/35. W H Anderson. Parasol wing, tandem cockpits. POP: 1 [X4244]. There are claims that one or two others might have been built, but no proof was found.

1909 = 1pO multiplane; two 6'6" chain-driven propellers; span: 30'0" length: 30'0". 19 "planes," consisting of rounded winglets, were set at various angles around a tubular steel framework fuselage, in addition to vertical "steadying fins." No flight data mentioned in Jane's, and an accompanying sketch makes no sense at all.

BA-6 c.1955 = 1pClwM; no specs. Designed for the home-huilder market.

BA-7 aka MFI c.1955 = 2pCmwM; no specs. Trainer and sportplane intended for home-builders. Design was acquired by SAAB for production in Sweden as MFI-9.

1910 = 1pOB; two 36hp Adams-Farwell rotary pushers. Andrews designed and constructed the first twin-engined airplane, which flew at Daytona Beach for about 100 yards at an altitude of six feet before the rear elevators vibrated loose and the machine came apart.

T-1 1926 = 2pOB; 90hp Curtiss OX-5; span: 32'2" length: 22'6". Rebuilt and modified Curtiss JN-4 for flight training [2162] c/n 1. Considered unairworthy after changing hands several times, the airframe was finally scrapped, engine sold, and the reg cancelled 3/9/29. Also wearing this registration was a JN-4 rebuilt as Mayberry T-1 in Oakland CA, most likely one of those "hands" mentioned above.

Brundage R-3 1933 = 1 or 2pOM; 80hp Armstrong-Genet, later 65hp Velie; ff (possibly): 10/18/33. [NR13531] c/n 1 (NR assigned 11/28/33). Sold in 1936, reg cancelled 12/15/37.

(A prolific constructor of accurate flying replicas, AA provided planes for more than 150 television and movie appearances. Performance specs and data are not shown since they varied with individual aircraft, but ones with rotary engines were similar to the originals.)

  Ariel B [N32459] (Aircraft of the World)

B, C 1941 (ATC 2-580) = Same as model A with 75hp Continental and 80hp Franklin, respectively. POP: 2 were finished of 6 begun [N32459, Nx], then the firm opted for the bicycle business instead. It is unclear if the 80hp was that reported C model—references found only mention "two B models flying"—or if it might have been one of those unfinished planes.

Whitewing 1928 = 2pOB; 43hp Ford conversion; span: 25'0' length: 17'6". [7975] c/n B-1. Reg cancelled by CAA 7/18/30.

1909 = 1pOmwM; 16hp motor. Based on the popular Blériot design of the time, reportedly made 57 flights. Prior to this, he had built and experimented with gliders since 1905.

  Armitage 1910 (Aerial Age via Joe Martin)

1910 = 2pOmwM likely expanded from the previous machine. No specs or data found.

1915 = Armitage, design engr at Sturtevant Co, designed the Stevens flying boat and likely had a hand in its contruction, but to what extent is unknown.

S-8 1938 = 1pOmwM rg; 300hp Sturtevant V-8; span: 16'0" length: 14'0" load: 400# v: 335/x/93. All-metal racer for George Nelson [NX2585] wore race number 50, but it is unknown if it ever flew. Choice of model designation is interesting—perpetuating or memorializing the old Sturtevant S-line?

AR-5 c.1992 = 1pClwM; 65hp Rotax 582; span: 21'0" length: 15'6". Empty wt: 488#. All-composite. [N105AR].

1924 = OB designed by Anderson. There is strong suspicion that this is really the Aero-Craft Aero-Coupe, suffering from a case of misspelling and a slight date disparity.

c.1930 = Modified surplus USN Curtiss N-9H; 90hp Hisso. [565M].

Five 1926 = 5pOB; 150hp Hisso A; span: 40'0" length: 27'0"; load: 950# v: 94/x/45. Front cockpit accommodated two passengers facing forward and two rearward.

Sport 1926 = 2pOB; 35hp Anzani; span: 25'6" length: 19'3". Swen Swanson. Side-by-side cockpit. No interplane struts; the wing was attached directly to the top of the fuselage, but cosmetic struts were later added to allay the concern of pilots. 1928 model offered 60hp Detroit Air Cat and Anzani.

  Arrow Sport Pursuit [NC218K] (Ralph Nortell)
  Arrow Sport A2 [NC9328]

Sport A2 aka Sport 60, Sport 66, Sport 90 Tangerine 1929 (ATC 115 2-342) = 2pOB; 60hp LeBlond 5D; span: 25'10" length: 19'3" load: 446# v: 98/85/30. $2,945. Swen Swanson, John B Moore.

Safety Airplane B-2 1930 = 1pOB; Szekely pusher; v: x/x/22. J W Davis (ex-Burgess Co). Tailless experimental based on early Burgess-Dunne concept, said to have first been backed by Glenn Curtiss, had a 30° swept wing with all its movable controls at the wingtips. POP: 2 [X899Y, 10405]. The latter made 34 flights before both disappeared into history.

1910 = Hilliard and Shoemaker bought the Herring-Burgess #3 in May 1910 as foundation for this company and modified it to an unknown extent as an exhibition craft—this plane was most recently stored at NASM's Silver Hill facility. The company, as such, also flight-tested other Burgess airplanes, but no information was found about any specific production under the Arrowplane name.

  Arup S-2 [12894] (Bob O'Hara coll)

SP-5 Bob-O-Link 1928 = 1pOB; 90hp Curtiss OX-5, and 100hp OXX-6. David Ashley (engineer with Curtiss Co). Looked like a smaller version of Curtiss P-1 Hawk [899W]. Also had 115hp Milwaukee Tank, and was active into the 1970s in northern New York state. Reported rebuilt to flying status by Robert Falcone, Buffalo NY. SEE ALSO Cirigliano SC-1.

M-3 1929 = 2pOhwM; 90hp Curtiss OX-5. [X526K] c/n 2-X; ff: c.6/15/29. Modified surplus Thomas-Morse Scout. Reg cancelled 7/10/30 when CAA inspectors judged its workmanship as "very poor and dangerous." There is similarity in location, model, and c/n with Belohlavek M-2, but unknown to what extent.

1959 = Development was reportedly 50 percent complete of a 4pCmwM personal plane with laminar-flow wing, which was taken over by Thalman Aircraft (qv). A twin-engine development then ensued, but there were no subsequent data.

  Harry Atwood in unidentified type, likely Wright E

  1911 Atwood-Wright at Nyack (Library of Congress)

1911 = 1pOB. Wright pusher, possbly same as the following entry, wheel version but with flotation tubes under the wing. Used for exhibitions.

  1913 Atwood (Charles E Frohman coll, Rutherford B Hayes Presidential Center)

1913 (Sandusky) = 1pOBF; Roberts pusher. Appears to be a twin-float blending of Wright and Curtiss design elements. Atwood planned to establish a flight school, aviation factory, and an island airline with financial backing by townsfolks, but nothing was developed and, by the end of the year, he was gone.

Duply Airmobile 1935 = 1pOlwM; 30-35hp Aeronca E-113; span: 25'0" v: 120. Constructed of steam-cooked birchwood veneers shaped on forms, perhaps the earliest of experiments with laminated thermoplastics for aircraft components. POP: 1 [X15318]; test flying by Clarence Chamberlin.

F Boat (Carolina Corp) 1918 = 2pOBF; 100hp Curtiss OXX-6. Wood-veneer version of Curtiss F with major design changes, for USN evaluation. Although it was overweight to the extreme and incapable of flight, several design changes changes produced one attractive version that finally did fly, although only a distance of about 25'. Unfortunately, the Navy demanded longer and higher. POP: 1 [A4343]; 3 more had USN s/ns assigned [A4344/4346], but were cancelled.

Model 1 (Carolina Corp) 1943 = 3pCM; two Franklin 4AC-199. Experimental for possible military use . [NX15566]; reg cancelled in 1951.

Wasp Special [NX7571] (Lesley Forden coll)

1927 = 1p "18-foot Wasp" (as described) has a provocative, albeit grim, story in a found newspaper clipping. Student pilot Henry Axton died in the crash after its wing collapsed while landing at Alameda airport. Before the coroner could investigate the accident, builder Aurebach set fire to the ship's remains "in order to clear the field of the wreckage, because it was harmful to his business, to aviation, and to the airport." He denied doing it to destroy any evidence of criminal negligence. We have no follow-up on this story; however ... an old knot on our pages unravels right here.

    Recalling a Wasp listed in Aerofiles, we found a small ship resembling this brief description, built in nearby Oakland in 1927, that also suffered a crash before its entry in the Dole Race. That was enough to goad us to search Les Forden's The Glory Gamblers, where on page 56 is (digested): "On Aug 5th, spectators watched in horror as the little plane spun in and crashed, killing Henry Axton. Alameda County DA Earl Warren [later CA governor] warned the aviation community to expect legal action regarding unlicensed [the Wasp was X-licensed] and unsafe airplanes. The resulting publicity became part of the furor that followed when so many of the press, and the public, insisted the Dole flyers were irresponsible adventurers who flew home-made crates."

1912 = 1pOmwM; 2-cyl rotary. POP: 1 Blériot-influenced copy with an uncovered fuselage; ff: 6/10/12—which was Ausmus' solo flight, as well. Lacking money for plans or materials, Ausmus resorted to the lofting method of laying out the shape on the floor of a vacant building, then sawed pieces out of discarded barn doors and used broken glass as a plane to shape the wood. Covering was starched muslin bedsheets, seal-coated and varnished. Working nights by the light of an oil lamp. he was a true dedicated home-builder!

1935 = 1pOM; 35hp Ford. [11582].

  Autogiro AC-35 Original configuration [X70] (Ray Watkins coll)
  Autogiro AC-35 [NX70] 1936 (Smithsonian coll)
  Autogiro AC-35 [NX70] (Frank Rezich coll)

AC-35 1935 = 2pCAg; 90hp Pobjoy Niagara; rotor: 34'3" (?>36'3") length: 16'3". Evolution of Pitcairn PA-22 (the name "Autogiro," spelled thusly and capitalized, was copyrighted by Pitcairn in 1923). Triple-tail, roadable autogyro with two counter-rotating propellers, which were replaced by a single prop after the noise level proved to be excessive. Motor, driving the propeller by a long shaft, was buried in the fuselage behind the cabin; power was transferred to a large, steerable tail wheel for driving on the ground. Folding rotor blades. POP: 1 prototype [X=NX70], which made headlines on 10/26/36 by flying from Willow Grove to Washington DC, landing on Pennsylvania Ave, folding its rotors, and driving to the DoC building.

Changes to the rear control surfaces are noted in Peter W Brooks' Cierva Autogiros: The Development of Rotary-Wing Flight (Smithsonian Press 1988) as necessary to improve longitudinal stability when the coaxial props were replaced by a single prop. The engine is also confirmed as a 90hp Pobjoy Cascade, which is corroborated by the NASM webpage article on their AC-35 exhibit. Confusion about the dates occurred because the AC-35 was flown to Washington on 2 Oct 1936, but not actually delivered there until 26 Oct 1936 for a staged handover to DoC.
    As for the steering, the NASM webpage says, "For road use the rotor blades could be folded back over the fuselage, the propeller disengaged, and the tailwheel put in gear. The front wheels were used for steering." In a picture on the Roadable Times website one can see the steering knuckles and the track rods in front of the landing gear cross-bracing.
