Unlike the earlier Sopwith Pup and Sopwith Triplane, which were docile to fly and well-liked by pilots, the Camel was unstable, requiring constant input from the pilot. The gyroscopic effects of its ...

Chuck Wentworth props the Sopwith Strutter's 160 hp Gnome rotary. ... we really won’t have good data of the gyroscopic effects of the rotary until we have instrumented the Camel and the triplane.

The cracks in the triplane's limitations started to widen after better biplanes like the Sopwith Camel (one of the top WW1 fighter aircraft) came into existence.

Eakle thought a restored Sopwith Camel might be good for the Pacific Coast Air Museum. ... The triplane, which spent years hanging in Schulz’s hangar, needed mostly superficial touch-ups.

Pilots of the Sopwith Camel complained that the engine, guns, fuel tank, and pilot were clustered too close. They didn't know the airplane's very shape generated drag that hampered its performance ...

The Dr. 1 was a knockoff of a British Sopwith triplane, one of which crashed behind German lines and was studied extensively. ... the arch-nemesis of Snoopy and his Sopwith Camel biplane.

The new airplane was simply intended to be a derivation of the Camel, with improved visibility for the pilot, and gentler handling qualities, more reminiscent of the earlier Sopwith Pup. After nearly ...

Two years in the making, a replica Sopwith Triplane has become a highlight of the permanent exhibition at the Metoděj Vlach Aviation Museum in Mladá Boleslav, Czechia. Vladimir Handlik and the ...

The cracks in the triplane's limitations started to widen after better biplanes like the Sopwith Camel (one of the top WW1 fighter aircraft) came into existence.These planes could outrun triplanes ...
