Boland Brothers
Frank Edward Boland (July 31, 1873 – January 3, 1913), James Paul Boland (August 20, 1882 – December 19, 1967) and Joseph John Boland (May 27, 1879 – September 12, 1964) were early aircraft designers from Rahway, New Jersey who started the Boland Airplane and Motor Company. Biographies They were the children of James Francis Boland (1834–1913) and Catherine Julia Kavanaugh (1843–1925). They had set records for bicycle racing in 1898. In 1904, Frank and Joseph started a business servicing bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles in Rahway. The Boland brothers worked with tailless aircraft that were early predecessors of flying wings. They constructed the Boland 1911 Tailless Biplane and its Boland 1912 Tailless Biplane, successor a year later. A scale model of their plane is in the Smithsonian. In 1912, Frank Boland became the First flight in Venezuela, first person to fly an aircraft in Venezuela. He was killed in on January 23, 1913, during an exhibition flight i ...

Aeromarine Plane And Motor Company
The Aeromarine Plane and Motor Company was an early American aircraft manufacturer founded by Inglis M. Upperçu which operated from 1914 to 1930. From 1928 to 1930 it was known as the Aeromarine-Klemm Corporation. History The beginnings of the company dated to 1908, when Uppercu began to finance aeronautical experiments by the Boland brothers at Keyport, New Jersey. In 1914, Aeromarine itself was founded at Keyport with Uppercu as president. Aeromarine built mostly military seaplanes and flying boats, the most significant of which were the models 39 and 40. The company broke new ground in aviation by offering some of the first regularly scheduled flights. Aviation promoter Harry Bruno worked with Aeromarine to commercialize the transportation potential of airflight. In 1928, the firm was renamed Aeromarine-Klemm Corporation and began producing mostly Klemm aircraft designs, until the Great Depression forced its closure in 1930. The firm also built aero engines. After Aeromar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People From Rahway, New Jersey
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Voisin Brothers
Aéroplanes Voisin was a French aircraft manufacturing company established in 1905 by Gabriel Voisin and his brother Charles, and was continued by Gabriel after Charles died in an automobile accident in 1912; the full official company name then became ''Société Anonyme des Aéroplanes G. Voisin''Gunston, 1993, says the full name was "Aéroplanes G. Voisin". On the other hand the avions-voisin.org webpage specifies the name as "Société Aéroplanes Voisin, Société Anonyme". ().

Wright Brothers
The Wright brothers, Orville Wright (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur Wright (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were American aviation List of aviation pioneers, pioneers generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful airplane. They made the first controlled, sustained flight of an engine-powered, Aircraft#Heavier-than-air – aerodynes, heavier-than-air aircraft with the ''Wright Flyer'' on December 17, 1903, four miles (6 km) south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, at what is now known as Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, Kill Devil Hills. In 1904 the Wright brothers developed the ''Wright Flyer II'', which made longer-duration flights including the first circle, followed in 1905 by the first truly practical fixed-wing aircraft, the ''Wright Flyer III''. The brothers' breakthrough invention was their creation of a Flight dynamics (aircraft), three-axis control system, which enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effec ...

The Boland V-8 was an aircraft engine that was developed by the Boland Brothers Frank Edward Boland (July 31, 1873 – January 3, 1913), James Paul Boland (August 20, 1882 – December 19, 1967) and Joseph John Boland (May 27, 1879 – September 12, 1964) were early aircraft designers from Rahway, New Jersey who started ... for use in their tailless aircraft. Between 1908 and 1914, four versions of this motor were produced ranging in power from to . The Boland motors all used an unusual concentric overhead valve. This arrangement positioned the intake valve in the middle of the exhaust valve. These were actuated by a single push rod and rocker arm. Variants ;60 HP :The prototype of this motor first appeared in a Boland aircraft 1908.

Boland 1914 Monoplane Flying Boat
The Boland 1914 Monoplane Flying Boat was a tailless, pusher flying boat built by the Boland Aeroplane and Motor Company Design and development This aircraft was the only monoplane development from the Boland brothers that used their unusual 'jib' method of lateral control. The pilot and passenger were arranged in tandem, with the pilot in the forward position and the passenger seated to the rear, directly over the center of gravity of the aircraft. A small cockpit fairing was located in front of the pilot. The hull was a narrow two step, flat bottom design that was slightly concave in the rear most section. The hull was almost rectangular in section. It was constructed of mahogany ribs with a single ply spruce skin covered in doped and varnished linen. A small, rectangular rudder was mounted under the rear of the hull to provide steerage in the water. The wings were mounted above the hull. A lightweight cantilever structure extended from the hull to provide the lower suppo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boland 1913 Tailless Flying Boat
The Boland 1912 Tailless Biplane was a refinement of the Boland 1911 Tailless Biplane. The major change in the 1912 biplane is the addition of a central nacelle that contained the pilot, passenger and the engine. Design and development The Boland 1912 biplane was more of a refinement of Boland brothers, Frank Boland's previous tailless aircraft. Still using the wing 'jibs' he developed for lateral control, this aircraft introduced a crudely constructed nacelle for the pilot, passenger and engine. This was the aircraft that Boland took on tour to Venezuela and the West Indies in 1912, becoming the First flight in Venezuela, first person to fly an aircraft in Venezuela. It was also the aircraft he was flying in Port of Spain, Port of Spain, Trinidad on January 23, 1913 when a failure in the forward structure of the aircraft caused it to dive unexpectedly into the ground, killing him. After Frank's death, his brother, Joseph, continued the development of the aircraft. Working with t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boland 1911 Conventional Biplane
The Boland 1911 Conventional Biplane was an American pioneering aircraft. During the winter of 1911-1912, Frank Boland built a conventional pusher biplane. Boland built this aircraft to compare it with the tailless aircraft that he'd been building for the 3 previous years. Design and development Frank Boland wanted to make sure that he fully understood the dynamics of a conventional biplane so, in the winter of 1911-12, he constructed an aircraft of his own design in Mineola, Long Island. This conventional pusher biplane had an interconnected forward and rear elevator. A movable rudder is mounted in the rear. Roll control was achieved using wing warping Wing warping was an early system for lateral (roll) control of a fixed-wing aircraft or kite. The technique, used and patented by the Wright brothers, consisted of a system of pulleys and cables to twist the trailing edges of the wings in opposit ....
