Vintage Wings - Roe IV Triplane - 1910
*** Vintage Wings ***
Roe IV - 1909
The Roe IV Triplane was a British aircraft designed by Alliott Verdon Roe and built by A.V. Roe and Company in 1910.
Although being a development of the previous model III the design was simplified in some aspect respect to its predecesor. The second seat was eliminated, the triplane tail was replaced for a more conventional design, the undercarrieage was modified, and the most important, Roe replaced the ailerons (used sucsessfuly in the model III) for the more primitive wing wrapping system.
Only one aircraft was built, being used during 1910 and 1911 as a trainer at the Avro Flying School at Brooklands. After several reconstructions (due to respective crashes) was scrapped in august 1911.
A flying replica of this aircraft was built for the movie Those Magnificent Men And Their Flying Machines, flown in the movie by the british villain character Sir Percy Armitage (Therry Thomas).
The model represented, the only one built, had a maximun speed of 70 Km/h powered by a 34 Hp Green C4 water cooled engine.
