39-473: A longitudinal bar held under the engine at each end on short, forward-raked V-struts. To prevent nose-overs, there was a fifth wheel mounted under the nose. Data from Hauet (2001) p.145 General characteristics Performance Le Rh%C3%B4ne 9C The Le Rhône 9C is a nine-cylinder rotary aircraft engine produced in France by Société des Moteurs Le Rhône / Gnome et Rhône . Also known as

52-580: A single refuelling stop in Berlin . The 9C also powered the 1913 world altitude record of 6,120 m (20,080 ft) set by the aviator Georges Legagneux in a Nieuport . The 9C was selected early on for use in military aircraft with the first of many applications being the 1912 Voisin Type 1 . During WW1 the 9C was the engine used in many single-seater scout aircraft such as the Nieuport 11 “Bebe” and

78-525: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Caudron C.37 Between 1919 and 1922 Caudron built a series of multi-engined civil passenger transport biplanes of similar design but increasing size and engine power, the C.33 , C.37, C.39 , C.43 and C.61 . The C.37 was the first trimotor in this series. The C.37 was a three bay biplane with fabric-covered , rectangular-plan wings mounted without stagger . The lower wing had dihedral outboard of

91-748: The Le ;Rhône 80 hp in a reference to its nominal power rating, the engine was fitted to many military aircraft types during the First World War . Le Rhône 9C engines were also produced under license in Great Britain, the United States and Sweden. First marketed in 1912, the 80 horsepower 9C was the first of the Rhône series rotary engines to have nine cylinders. In common with earlier seven cylinder Le Rhône series engines,

104-727: The Sopwith Pup . Later in the war most 9Cs built were used in training aircraft. The German Fliegertruppen fitted captured 9Cs in their Fokker Eindekkers in place of engines built by Oberursel (which were themselves licensed built copies of the Gnome Lambda ). Eindekkers fitted with the Le Rhône 9C were found to be superior particularly in relation to climb and maximum altitude. Examples of Le Rhône 9C engines are on view in aviation museums either installed in aircraft exhibits or as stand-alone displays. A few examples of

117-510: The 9C engine remain airworthy both in Europe and North America, one powering a vintage Sopwith Pup biplane in England, and a small number of others having powered reproduction WWI-era aircraft at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome and other American "living" aviation museums that fly their restored original engines in both similarly restored original, and airworthy reproduction period aircraft. Both

130-499: The 9C featured copper induction pipes and used a single push-pull rod to operate its two overhead valves . Unlike the later 110 horsepower 9J, the induction pipes and push rods were located on the front of the engine. Prior to the outbreak of World War One, aircraft powered by the Rhône 9C set numerous long distance city to city records including a highly publicised 1,400 km (870 mi) flight from Paris to Gdańsk with

143-488: The C.37 was capable of carrying six passengers, though it is not certain if windows or seats were fitted. Behind the wings the fuselage tapered gently to a broad, triangular fin which carried a vertical-edged rudder that reached down to the keel. The tailplane was mounted on top of the fuselage so its elevators had a notch for rudder movement. The C.37 had a fixed tailskid undercarriage . There were pairs of main wheels mounted on single axles attached at their centre to

156-509: The engines, and the upper carried the ailerons , which were not balanced as they were on the later aircraft. The wings were joined by vertical pairs of interplane struts , the forward members attached near the leading edges , and the centre section was supported by similar, shorter cabane struts from the upper fuselage . Each inner bay was defined by two close pairs of leaning interplane struts, supporting an 60 kW (80 hp) Le Rhône 9C nine-cylinder rotary engine about halfway between

169-400: The wings. Each wing-mounted engine was in a long, tapered cowling , open at the rear. There was a third cowled Le Rhône in the nose. The airliner could fly on only two engines when carrying six passengers. Behind the engine the fuselage was flat-sided, with a wide, open cockpit with its windscreen immediately under the upper leading edge . With a useful load of 450 kg (992 lb)
