eMedicine - Triplane Fracture : Article by John L Abt, DO, FACEP, FACFE Triplane fractures of the distal tibia are generally sustained during adolescence and occur before complete closure of the distal tibial physis (growth plate). Triplane fracture involves the tibial metaphysis, tibial growth plate (physis), and the epiphysis. The 3 fracture fragments thus produced are (1) a rectangular fragment of the anterolateral portion of the epiphysis, (2) the remainder of the epiphysis with an attached posterior spike of the distal tibial metaphysis, and (3) the tibial shaft with the proximal metaphysis and anteromedial epiphysis. www.emedicine.com /orthoped/topic353.htm   (5960 words)

First World War.com - The War in the Air - From Triplane to Camel, the War's Best Fighters The undisputed masters of the Sopwith Triplane were the pilots of the all Canadian "Black Flight," commanded by Raymond Collishaw. The nimble triplane must have held incredible appeal for a virtuoso pilot such as Richthofen, and with his forces suddenly facing a superior aircraft it is not surprising that he pressed the Idflieg to provide a similar aircraft. Richthofen had two quick victories in his triplane, but on September 15th he lent it to Kurt Wolff, the commander of Jasta 11, who was shot down by a Sopwith Camel of the Black Flight. www.firstworldwar.com /airwar/bestaircraft.htm   (1004 words)

The Sopwith Triplane - Great Britain The Triplane was an instant success, and no time was lost in testing it in action, for it was sent up on an interception within a quarter of an hour of its arrival at Furnes. Some difficulty was found in obtaining spares for the Triplane during the summer of 1917, and one unit, Naval one, had to reduce its establishment from eighteen to fifteen aeroplanes. The first Triplane squadrons to begin re-equipment with Camels were No. 8 (Naval), which had received a few Camels by the end of July, 1917, and No. 9 (Naval), which exchanged its Triplanes and Pups for Camels between mid-July and August 4th. www.aviation-history.com /sopwith/triplane.html   (1351 words)

Fokker Triplane speech The Fokker triplane was the first airplane to enter service with wooden cantilever wings. Then triplanes were grounded for November while the wings were rebuilt, and December's weather was bad for flying. One might suppose that with all the trouble the triplanes had from the very beginning, and especially considering how difficult they were to fly, that nobody wanted them. www.thebicyclingguitarist.net /studies/fokkerspeech.htm   (1216 words)

Acrolite 1T Triplane The Triplane construction is identical to the 1B biplane except that on the prototype we used a fibreglass skin for the wings instead of plywood. The wings for the triplane are made with a wooden frame and covered with fibreglass or plywood. The triplane flew hands off on the first flight with no changes required in trim and it is very stable in pitch. www.pilotfriend.com /experimental/acft/5.htm   (798 words)

Ian Turney-White's AVRO Triplane 4 The next year he built his first triplane which was constructed mainly of deal and covered in oiled paper. It had triplane wings and tailplane and was grossly underpowered by a 9hp JAP engine driving a 9ft, 4 blade propeller via a belt reduction. The final version was a Triplane 4, completed in September 1910 powered by a 35hp, 4 cylinder, water cooled, Green engine. www.largemodelassociation.com /ian_t-white_triplane.htm   (1224 words)

Fokker Triplane - Picture - MSN Encarta German officers inspect a group of Fokker Dr.I triplanes. German pilots flew Fokker triplanes in World War I (1914-1918), dogfighting in the air against English and French pilots. The Dr.I could climb quickly, but was soon replaced by better airplanes such as the Fokker D.VII. encarta.msn.com /media_461541530/Fokker_Triplane.html   (45 words)

Fokker Dr.1 Triplane Both ground and aerial combat diminished in the 1917-18 winter, and the German offensive of Spring 1918 saw the heyday of the Fokker Triplane. He was hit and his upper wing failed; although his later claim, "my triplane became a biplane" was exaggerated, as crash photos show. Bäumer was credited with four victories in March, 1918, when he was flying the Fokker triplane, usually #204/17 and #209/17, although he may have also used an Albatros D.V that month. www.acepilots.com /wwi/fokker_triplane.html   (1013 words)

triplane | | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon A triplane is a fixed-wing aircraft equipped with three sets of wings, each roughly the same size and mounted one above the other. The first triplane was designed in 1908 by Ambroise Goupy and built by Blériot, flown with a 37 kW (50 hp) Renault engine. Triplane configurations have greater wing area than biplanes and monoplanes of similar wing span and chord, potentially offering increased lift and tighter turning radii. www.babylon.com /definition/triplane/All   (183 words)

Triplane Madness Study of this era of aviation shows that most firms that were engaged in aeroplane production tried at least one triplane design and some just couldn't seem to let go of the idea (Euler for instance). A few were found to be good, most were discovered to be inadequate and a few were downright tragic(as with the Tarrant-Tabor). There are a number of additional Triplanes of this era of which I am aware but have been unable to locate any pictures of. www.pigstompers.net /Triplane-Madness/trimad.htm   (425 words)

RED BARON FOKKER TRIPLANE The trial run ensures that everything fits into place,the centre section struts simply lap together at the top where they meet the upper wing brackets.Note that the engine tachometer has been shortened as per the original machine and is now well away from the control column. Front view showing the Fokker Dr.1 Triplane assembled,remember nothing is glued rigid yet around the centre section,tape holds the strut overlaps until final assembly,work still needs to be done in and around the cockpit and I can see areas that will need access.

Fokker Dr.I Triplane - Sold My Triplane was built in 1980 by Ed Lansing and Gary Shepherd of Houston, TX, and the plane was featured in articles in the December 1980 and March 1983 editions of the EAA's Sport Aviation magazine. The Triplane is aerobatic, within the limits of the design, and I have performed low-level acro routines in it at air shows over the years. I had owned and flown the Triplane since late 1984 but now live in West Texas, where the winds are usually too strong and gusty to enjoy the it, thus the reason for selling. rwebs.net /avhistory/triplane.htm   (217 words)

sopwith_triplane.htm   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Given the nickname "Tripe" or "Tripehound", the Sopwith Triplane was made famous by the Canadians of the "Black Flight" of Naval 10, their aircraft having fl noses and macabre names such as 'Black Maria', 'Black Death', 'Black Roger', 'Black Sheep' and 'Black Prince'. The Sopwith Triplane was replaced in the Naval Squadrons by the Sopwith Camel as it became available. The Triplane fought on the Western, Eastern and Macedonian Fronts during World War I. The approximate finish size is: Wing span 12 inches, Length 10 inches. balsa-models-planes.com /sopwith_triplane.htm   (175 words)

Sopwith Triplane - Great War Forum As I understand it the Sopwith Triplane was the original with the concept copied by others, notably Anthony Fokker and the DrI, and presumably a plane favoured by many German pilots including Manfred von Richtoften, because of the agility the triplane had in flight. Although the Triplane was very successful during its brief service with the RNAS by late 1917 it was probably appreciated that aircraft like the Camel with two synchronised guns firing forward provided a decided advantage as the time allowed for hitting an opponent became ever shorter. The triplane was originally intended to have the AR1 (Bentley) rotary and twin vickers guns. 1914-1918.invisionzone.com /forums/index.php?showtopic=64578&view=getlastpost   (1340 words)

Fokker Dr.I Triplane (Dreidecker) Fighter - Military and Civilian Aircraft   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Richthofen prefered the triplane design over contemporary ones in the end of his career for the simple values maintained in the rate-of-climb and turning ability of the aircraft. The Fokker Dr.I (the "Dr" standing for "Dreidecker" which meant triplane) was initially developed to counter the Sopwith Triplane that appeared to have an advantage over certain types of German craft. Most triplanes were then called on the defensive near or in Germany, which ultimately would fall to the Allied victories. www.militaryfactory.com /aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=203   (507 words)

TheHistoryNet | Flight Technology | The Triplane Fighter Craze of 1917 Whether or not that triplane was any improvement over the previous version is not recorded, but the French authorities do not appear to have thought so, for they abandoned the experiment completely in December 1916. On January 26, 1917, however, one of their triplane Nieuport 17s, N1588, was delivered to the RFC and given the British serial number A6686. The spectacular performance of Voss' new Fokker triplane was as jarring to the British as their Sopwith Triplane had previously been to the Germans. www.historynet.com /air_sea/flight_technology/3032441.html?page=3&c=y   (1288 words)

Fokker DR-I Triplane - The Collings Foundation The Fokker Dr. I was ordered into production on July 14, 1917 in response to earlier success that year of the British Sopwith Triplane and at the written request from Richthofen. Pilots were impressed with its maneuverability, and several, including von Richthofen, soon scored victories with the highly maneuverable triplane. The full-scale replicas accurately portray the aircraft that was known as the scourge of the skies for so many years during WWI. www.collingsfoundation.org /ma_fokkerdr1_hist.htm   (284 words)

Sopwith Triplane   (Site not responding. Last check: ) It was the astonishing success of the Sopwith Triplane that induced Anthony Fokker to try the novel layout with what became the Dr.1. The theory on which the triplane was based being that the decreased span and increased wing area would benefit manouverability and climb at the same time. In the hands of naval pilots, the 'Tripehound' worked wonders and became so well liked that the pilots were reluctant to part with them when the replacement Camels arrived later in the year. home.earthlink.net /~scottbeth/Redbaron/planes/tripe.htm   (103 words)

Sopwith Triplane airplane pictures & aircraft photos - RAF Museums The prototype appeared in May 1916 and was found to be highly manoeuvrable with a phenomenal rate of climb. Several of the Royal Naval Air Squadron pilots scored many victories while flying the type and it made such a profound impression on the Germans that a specific request was made to their aircraft manufacturers to design and produce triplane fighters. The triplane concept had a brief life and in less than two years it had been eclipsed by the new and more powerful biplane fighters on both sides. www.rafmuseum.org.uk /sopwith-triplane.htm   (155 words)

DJ Aerotech ROADKILL FOKKER DR1 TRIPLANE Suddenly, from behind you hear spruce cracking, ripping fabric, and a rather odd shaped triplane piloted by Voss dives to your left. On the Camel and Jenny the wing struts are designed to act as a jig to get the wings properly aligned, but the single struts used on the Triplane don't lend themselves to this technique. The wings and struts of the Jenny, Camel and Triplane really stiffen up the whole structure, and those short noses are good for buckling strength as well. www.djaerotech.com /dj_product/roadkill_dr1.html   (853 words)

Sopwith Triplane - The Aerodrome - Aces and Aircraft of World War I The Sopwith Triplane was used in combat by the Royal Naval Air Service.

Model Power 6432 - Diecast Model Fokker Dr 1 Triplane Josef Jacobs: The Flying Mule The Fokker Triplane will always be remembered by the general public and noted German pilot aces, as the favorite warbird of World War I. This airplane was designed for dogfighting, so it was engineered for quick climbing and for tight turning. From his first flight in early 1916, until he started to fly the DR1's in 1918 Lt. Jacobs had several victories, Jacobs also received the Knight's Cross with Swords in August of 1917, by which time he already held the Iron Cross. Designed in response to the highly manoeuvrable Sopwith Triplane, the Dr1 was first flown in 1917.[See more Fokker Dr 1 Triplane products] www.flyingmule.com /products/MP-6432   (181 words)
