Excerpt from The Triplane and the Stable Biplane
The following aerodynamical investigation was under taken to determine the suitability of the triplane arrange ment for weight-carrying as compared with the biplane. It appears that the triplane is not so effective as the biplane, and will require somewhat more power to drive; but with sufficient power the triplane can support nearly the same weight as the biplane at its attitude of maximum lift. The loss is only about per cent. At small angles near 4 deg, for the same lift the trip-lane requires some 6 per cent. More power than the corresponding biplane. At 4 deg. Incidence the ratio of lift to resistance is for the biplane against for the triplane.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the aerodynamic properties of a triplane aeroplane in comparison to biplane designs. The outcome from the author's experiments aid understanding of weight-carrying capabilities and wing design for flight stability and efficiency. The author conducted wind tunnel experiments to measure lift and resistance of various wing models, including monoplanes, biplanes and the triplane design. Results of the tests revealed that, at small angles of attack, the triplane design offered lower lift than biplane configurations. However, for greater angles of incidence near 16 degrees, the triplane exhibited a significant advantage in stalling behaviour and reduced resistance. The book also presents valuable data on lift/drift ratios and centre of pressure movement for the different wing configurations, providing insights that are applicable to designing and constructing stable and efficient aircraft.
