A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines. Pushers may be classified according to lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft) as well as engine/propeller location and drive. For historical interest, pusher aircraft are also classified by date.
A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines and may be classified according to engine/propeller location and drive as well as the lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft), Some aircraft have a Push-pull configuration with both tractor and pusher engines.
This is a chronological list of pioneer aircraft built, planned or conceptualized before 1914. ... 1873 Penaud Ornithopter [1] ... pusher biplane (Henri Farman)
From August through November 1903, Jatho made progressively longer hops (flights) in a pusher triplane, and then a biplane, at Vahrenwalder Heide outside of Hanover. His first flight was only 18 metres (59 ft) distance at about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) altitude. Sources differ whether his aircraft was controlled.
The Wright Flyer, a “pusher” aircraft designed in 1903. In aeronautical and naval engineering, pusher configuration is the term used to describe a drivetrain of air-or watercraft with propulsion device(s) after the engine(s). This is in contrast to the more conventional tractor configuration, which places them in front.
"Headed" Model D at the College Park Air Museum "Headless" Model D replica at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. A number of Curtiss Pusher original and reproduction aircraft exist, and reproductions of the design date as far back to the era when the original aircraft was in production, mostly built by private parties.
The Airco DH.2 was a single-seat pusher biplane fighter aircraft which operated during the First World War.It was the second pusher design by aeronautical engineer Geoffrey de Havilland for Airco, based on his earlier DH.1 two-seater.
The next year he built the Planophore, which was to be a major influence on early aircraft design.In addition to the use of a twisted rubber motor driving a pusher propeller, this machine introduced two important principles to practical aeronautics: the wings were curved upwards at the tips, in effect having dihedral, and the rear-mounted horizontal stabiliser was set at a smaller angle of ...
