Topic: John Stringfellow


  
  John Stringfellow (1799 - 1883) and William Samuel Henson (1812 - 1888) - Aviation Pioneers
In spite of the scorn heaped on Henson and Stringfellow's outrageous publicity, the many illustrations that found their way all over the world placed the issue of aviation and the possibility of comfortable flight to faraway places squarely before the popular consciousness.
The machine in question had a 10 foot span, and was 2 ft. across in the widest part of the wing; the length of tail was 3 ft. 6 ins., and the span of tail in the widest part 22 ins., the total sustaining area being about 14 sq.
Mr Stringfellow was preparing for departure when a party of gentlemen unconnected with the Gardens begged to see an experiment, and finding them able to appreciate his endeavours, he got up steam and started the model down the wire.

 Teemings - Issue 15 - "First Flight" by Cal Meancham   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Stringfellow considered using a ramp as a means of takeoff, but changed his mind and constructed a guidewire with a two-wheeled carrier to which his model was attached by an ingenious self-detaching mechanism.
Stringfellow ran a great many tests, described in later years by his son, who reported that the machine climbed as fast as one part in every seven horizontal.
Stringfellow continued to work on his models, but nothing was seen on the public stage until the Aeronautical Exposition at the Crystal Palace in London in 1868, when he showed his tri-plane design.
