February 19, 2017 BAA acquires part of Lumiиre propeller.
Recently, we could buy a Lumiиre - Patent Monge - propeller, well, at least part of it, the part including the logo.
It is a large piece, measuring about 80 cm long, so that the entire helix is at least 2.40 or 3 meters The maximum width is 19.5 cm.
Unfortunately, we still do not know where it comes from as we know it must have been a big engine that has been attached.

A video made by KFOR circulating on the Internet early last flight Scotty in his magnificent plane, I was not going to post here as I thought some of the images are too shocking so I made a revised, I post here the links below.
August 10, 2016 a fatal accident Scotty Wilson, driver and manufacturer Bugatti 100P Racing replica aircraft, Bugatti shock the world.
This news reached me really terrible Sunday, terrible news first woman to Scotty Leslia, his family and his closest friends.
We extend our condolences to all, myself and all the members of the Association had Bugatti and many other aviation enthusiasts and many Bugatti contacted me in recent days that have been so involved in the project All because of the very special person who had the courage to take the task of building a replica and steal himself too.
The world has lost a great driver, a brilliant engineer and craftsman, but above all a fantastic person.
The Bugatti 100P posted this message on their Facebook page for all the disciples, friends and colleagues around the world who have blessed us with their friendship and good wishes over the years, it is with great sadness in our hearts we can confirm the death of our great leader and mentor Scotty Wilson earlier today in a tragic accident involving our beloved planes Being a small team, we have been ourselves in relation to other issues before posting this update to date, please join us in our prayers for Scottys family, friends and associates We will publish updates in the near future God bless you.
What happened He arrived Saturday, August 6 just before 20 August in the morning.
The plane took off safely, but less than a minute later, witnesses say he banked suddenly left and crashed nose first in a field just north of Clinton - Sherman Air Field in western Oklahoma, USA.
crew member eyewitness Aldert Van Nieuwkoop said he wasn t climbing at a very high rate The next thing I saw was a very sharp turn to the left and down she went.
A hunting helicopter landed quickly to provide help, but the driver, Scotty Wilson 66, probably died on impact.
Wreck brooded for the next hour as horrified family and crew members could only watch helplessly.
Of course, everybody is in a state of shock, said deputy crew chief Stan Shumway It is not everyday that you see a friend go down like that we do not know what happened, we'll try found that as time passes.
Sad News Very, very sad news especially as it was the third flight of Wilson in the Bugatti, and was the last flight, after which the plane had to be transported in a museum in England The first two flights were with success, the difference was mayor now that the landing gear was retractable, and was actually returned just after takeoff.
I am in contact with Scotty since early in December 2008 with very long email conversations Bugatti on the plane, and who was the most important in the development of the Bugatti 100P, Ettore Bugatti, or Louis de Monge; Scotty was always convinced that the plane was mainly the work of Monge We exchanged hundreds of emails on the subject of the plan I then had the pleasure of meeting him several times, first at a meeting BAA in Brussels in 2010, several times since then, and twice last summer first in the Clinton-Sherman airport in Oklahoma, where my Tomбs son and I visited Scotty as he assembled the replica Bugatti less than a week before the first successful flight Scotty flew the first aircraft in August 19, 2015, was the first time anything like that had ever flown Then I met him and his wife Leslia last one months later the Bugatti in Molsheim festival a big blow for us all, we will always remember Scotty as a person bold enough to meet the challenge of reproducing the finest plane that never flew, and then to fly.
The Bugatti world is in shock, see the ads below Peter Mullin who had then not finished, a replica of the aircraft on display in his museum in 2014, and the Bugatti based in Molsheim EBA club where Scotty Wilson was a guest of the Bugatti festival last year.
June 2, 2016 original film takeoff roll Dyle was 3000 feet and I took off to 90 knots I climbed to 100 AGL to check power and responsiveness control the airplane responded as expected to all the changes of power and control inputs of the maximum speed of 110 knots.
I reduced the power for the landing, but the plane floating much more than expected, I landed further down the runway than expected, but with enough distance to stop the map Unfortunately, I lost the right and brake the aircraft departed the left side of the low-speed track because of heavy rains the night before, the ground was soft and the plane tilted up on its nose, damaging the spinner and two accessories.
Such is the nature of flight testing a new design Relevant news is that we have successfully stolen the Bugatti 100P for the first time The aircraft flew beautifully.
July 24, 2015 original film of the helicopter in flight Breguet Dorand Recently I found some original pictures of the helicopter Breguet-Dorand With the engine not second Breguet-Bugatti, but still impressive Breguet Dorand can be seen during more than 40 seconds after 36 minutes about 9.
July 24, 2015 New miniature model Bugatti Type 100P resin kit plane Jan. 24.
Those of you who follow the project already know, the drivers of Bugatti 100P replica built by Scotty Wilson and his team are running Click the above image to see and hear.
Scotty Comment On April 2, 2015, we fired the engines and fueled the drive train for the first time, with good results both engines started easily and all systems - fuel; electric; lubrication; lubrication of the propeller and the cooling reduction box; engine coolant; and all gauges are working properly We kept the engine and propeller RPM to a reduction RPMs for this test We noticed no unusual sounds or vibration problems, but do not expect to see anything until we have reached the higher rpm ranges.
Then we'll assemble the fuselage to the wing and install the screws to facilitate the full-power engine runs.
Of course, we know that the engines are the 4.7-liter 480 hp straight-eight as used in the original, but this is an important step to bring the plan closer to fly.
And; Bugattis own 1 5 liter 4 cylinder were also used in the 7 Monge 5 flying wing They were of the same displacement, although less powerful.
December 27, 2014 Run first test engine Reve Bleu team ran the engine for the first time on 20 December, after a few false starts due mainly to fuel pressure adjustment problems Once corrected, the engines started on the first test They ran the engine for about five minutes, just enough to make sure we had the oil pressure and stable fuel and water pumps and generators were functioning properly.
The man behind the curtain wizard engines is good friend Rex Johnson, head of the US Air Force to staff sergeant retired and perhaps the best mechanic in the world airline chief is always right.

March 18, 2012 Motors announced the replica Scotty Wilson.
EPR Press Office Radical Performance Engines is pleased to confirm its association with the Bugatti 100P project, the most advanced aircraft recreating 1930s, providing two EPR 1500cc powerplants and technical support to the project.
The Bugatti 100P The projects goal is to bring heaven a reproduction of the original Bugatti 100P airplane, a sleek design that unfortunately never saw the light of day because of the outbreak of WW2 A team of dedicated volunteers painstakingly built the cell, working at a completion date at the end of the year the Bugatti 100P introduced a number of revolutionary techniques, including dramatic, swept wings, propellers against the rotating wings and automatic shutters.
About us provide two 1500cc The 260bhp four-cylinder engines in the project, very compact motors that are located in the fuselage behind the pilot and connected to the gearbox mounted nose with driveshaft s running under pilot elbows the same engine design is -proven used in Radical Sportscars bestseller SR3 RS race car, in production for over a decade as the original, the new Bugatti 100P will use a proven motor racing, but this time controlled by an engine management system with full data logging.
About us is extremely proud to be helping the Bugatti 100P project in this exciting adventure, bringing one of the most distinctive aerodynamic shapes of the 30s to the skies finally said EPR CEO, James Williams With the power of EPR, the Bugatti 100P can present the same performance and exceptional handling that was expected for the plane there are more than 70 years.
Radical Performance Engines are major small capacity racing engines and drive system of the world's experts with over thirty years experience in engine tuning, the radical performance engines has established an enviable reputation in the design and production of a range of more than four years and running eight-cylinder engines, which are all constructed and developed in such internal is confidence in the EPR engine reliability work, he realizes, is covered by many a guaranteed 40-hour race; no other manufacturer at this level of motorsport offer such coverage.
For more information on the Media Will Brown, Radical Party Press 44 0 1733 331616 February 25, 2012 The progress in the construction of the replica.
I did not update the news on the replica project Scotty Wilson often because it is much more convenient and informative to track progress on its own website, progress is significant, however, with current details for the cockpit, wings and all other parts required, however, the decision to switch to single propeller piece needed a new design of the gearbox, creating the project for several months See some images below below.
Meanwhile, Scotty has also found the time to come to the European Convention Airshow in Brussels February 23-25 will host a conference the project drawing board Bugatti from the flight display.
February 14, 2012 Good gearbox components are shown in the image Progress is now well advanced on making trees currently undertgoing final machining, gear and minor trees outside for the heat treatment and all bearings and seals with the manufacturer .

I'm sorry to announce that Jean Sibille died on September 2, at the respectable age of 87, his son Jean-Franзois Sibille recently sent the calling John leaves his father three children, grandchildren and great grandchildren on the above Jean Sibille image can be seen sitting on the left, the person standing as Jean-Louis Arbey the picture was taken by Michael Firczuk in 2001.
Jean Sibille was an apprentice draftsman aged 15, who in the 1930s worked for Louis de Monge He was the last person alive who was there at the workshop during the construction of the Bugatti 100P He contributed known to the significantly 100P by sharing with us many details that no one else could have possibly known, for example, he knew and confirmed later that the cockpit was not painted red; the engines never started once installed in the plan; and Bernard de Romanet widow was a frequent visitor, but it can be as it was made secretary of Louis de Monge, because there was a Madame de Romanet payroll.
In addition, Jean Sibille made some drawings illustrating the workshop layout, and the living room with everyone present.
Several BAA members met Jean Sibille Firczuk like Michael and Jean-Louis Arbey, while others like Frederic Gasson spoke at length with him Ladislaus phone Monge met Mr. Sibille recently in his home.
August 7, 2011 replica Bugatti 100P huge success at EAA Airventure 2011.
The replica Bugatti 100P was presented from July 25 - 31 at Oskosh Airventure 2011 and attracted a lot of s focus as seen in the photo at the top left, to the right of the plane as it was just before the show.
Appreciation was great, especially to show an unfinished aircraft, where the principle of construction and other details could still be seen.
The Japanese monthly magazine Aireview since 1951 offers a 8 pages article on the Bugatti 100P in this September 2011 issue is author Ken Ichi Sunohara has received assistance from the ADF.
However, it is impossible for me to read the content, as the only characters that can be recognized are the numbers of these figures, however, we can see that the article begins with a general history of Bugatti, and mentions the engines aircraft WW1 course it is a description of the aircraft itself, and Scotty Wilson replica project is mentioned, including a photo of Wilson and Carlson measure the wing of the original plane.
The article also mentions the NACA 23012, as measured, and Durakore Scotty material used for the reply.
June 12, 2011 The replica Scotty Wilson project in the news - again.
Scotty Wilson works to build a Bugatti 100P airplane in a hangar at Harvey Young Airport east of Tulsa.

I love all the details of the story, I'll just tell you that it is both interesting and exiting.
Scotty Wilson left and Gregg Carlson use the Profiler to collect data on the wing of the Bugatti.
Two Oklahoma EAA Experimental Aircraft Association members breathes new life into one of the models of the history of the most beautiful aviation, but unproven model Bugatti 100 Racer This elegant machine was built by the famous car manufacturer Ettore Bugatti and Louis Monge engineer to participate in an air race before the outbreak of the Second World war, but it was not finished in time when the German army marched on Paris in June 1940, the project was abandoned before the aircraft has ever flown.
But Scotty Wilson, EAA 572551, and Gregg Carlson, EAA 1,015,379, are on a mission to change that.
The two flew to Tulsa in Oshkosh this week to examine the genuine article of the cell Bugatti Racer was donated to the EAA in 1996, which is presented for next to the Spirit of St. Louis replica EAA to EAA AirVenture Museum In particular, they try to identify the airfoil NACA equivalent Bugatti used using what is called the profiler, an electronic tracer which rolls along the surface of the wing to transfer data to a computer for analysis.
There is disagreement among fans regarding the wing, said Wilson, a fighter pilot USAF retired now flies a Lancair 360 The discussion will widely and wildly from Eiffel certainly not 317, it is said it to the equivalent of a NACA 21112 1 with reflexed meanline choice of Wilson.
There is no complete set of drawings covering the whole aircraft So the only way to build is to reverse engineer it, Wilson said In fact, there is some misinformation out there claim to be made, and this is not from Monge's 1936 drawings are only partly useful because they're represented mainly by poor quality photographs It is absolutely essential that we be able to accurately determine the profile is on the plan, said Wilson.
Some enthusiasts of aviation insist that because the plane never flew, it is historically important, but Scotty Wilson disagrees vehemently There were five patents issued to Bugatti for the plane appeared many on other planes after the war, he said, including the dual drive train, flight control tail mixing the elevator and rudder, and automatic shutter system, which predates the F-16 s 40 years.
The fact that he never stole made the project a unique challenge The reasons against its construction, it never flew, no drawings, etc. also have a research challenge it their intention to honor the builders by making a copy to do this they need at the wing profile to determine the profile.
The current state of the replica fuselage Bugatti, which for its builders ended up next spring.
The project started in January this year, but the actual construction began in May Currently, the fuselage shell is finished, and Wilson expects to complete empennage and fuselage, next winter.
As for the engines, Bugatti designed the aircraft to use two of its famous 50B engines modified for aircraft, turn two metals Ratier adjustable floor-rotation against the two propellers, and Wilson and Carlson original 50Bs exist even saw one of them in South Carolina the other is in England.
The replica racer is built so that it could accommodate 50B replica engines, but two powerplants will probably early 2000s the late 1990s, BMW engines.
Nobody could tackle a project of this size and complexity without assistance, and Wilson and Carlson are quick to recognize those who have been most helpful, for example, they credit the EAA photo restoration as well as those of Michael Firczuk as being crucial to the effort we must also with our European friends, Jaap Horst and Frederic Gasson They are among the most competent and disinterested people with whom we had the pleasure of working, said Wilson.
The result Bugatti 100P right wing existing 85-inch centerline of the plane, measured by special digital profiling device developed for the project Note that the flaps appear slightly lowered.
We owe it to Bugatti and Louis de Monge to build a true replica that will allow us to rediscover innovations in this wonderfully large aircraft, Wilson said it is a journey of discovery, the handshake across time.
Original article of 18 September 2009 flying replica Project began.
Scotty Wilson and Gregg Carlson began construction of a replica of the plane Bugatti 100P this summer The following is Scotty Wilson.
My good friend Gregg Carlson and I discussed the construction of a replica Bugatti 100P it a year ago, we concluded after months of research we could and should build the plane, we knew there would be challenges to up because the airplane is such a furious mix of simplicity and complexity and with so many gaps in the historical record, we just had to accept the fact that we would not be able to answer every question some point we would be faced with a choice or move before succumbing to paralysis by analysis.
We chose to go ahead and build a replica as true to the original is convenient.
With a big thank you to several members of BAA, we completed our preliminary studies, assembled an international team of passionate, and well with the assembly of the fuselage We started the fuselage planking with a product balsa wood yesterday and will the hull of the fuselage substantially completed by the end of September it is a bit behind our original schedule, but we are on track to fly the aircraft in spring 2011.
The design lends itself well to be built upside see pictures We joined sandwich boards of balsa wood about 30 mm wide permanent bulkheads and stringers and temporary staff Once we have covered the entire fuselage we will follow with epoxy between the planks and cover the exterior fiberglass once the fiberglass coating is cured, we'll turn the right side body and put it in a crib we will remove all temporary staff , fiberglass inner surface and install the remaining permanent partitions, doublers, and other support structure.
The two walls of the fuselage rear part of the permanent structure of the aircraft, and the rails We found it necessary to permanently fix the boards solidly to the rear walls while the aircraft was in the template, so as to ensure proper alignment of the tail surfaces.
Soon we will have a website so that people interested in the project can monitor our progress 30 December 2008 Comic Bugatti Jet for publishing.
Professional long-drawing artist, for example, the Hulk and other comics, Bugatti and Bugatti enthusiast and member BAA Jet Herb Trimpe made a Spitfire comic strip in which the plane Bugatti 100P plays the main role.
I love all the details of the story, I'll just tell you that it is both interesting and exiting.
The comic will be published by Image Comics in Berkeley, California, USA It will probably be released at the same time as several other comic book magazine in December 13, 2008 First meeting of BAA NL BE.
The Dutch branch of the Belgian Bugatti Aircraft Association was Successfull first meeting on November 29 as a suitable location, we chose the private museum of Jean Bugatti Prick, son of the famous Bugatti Pope Guillaume Prick, who played in important role in early Bugatti Club organization.
Were present 5 members plus 3 interested Bugattists including two became BAA members Finally, Frans after the meeting on the picture above we see from left to right Jan Boellaard and his brother Edwin, Jeroen Vossen, sitting Jean Prick down keeping the original feel of the T67 engine, Martijn Visser, Jaap Hofman and Frans Horst below and Bart Rosman.
We were kindly greeted by John, and after a introdcution and a discussion of the organization of BAA and recent developments, there were two presentations by Jaap One, about the Bugatti Jet This presentation was largely based on presentations by Philippe Ricco and Frederic Gasson in February this year at Retromobile in Paris After that, there was a very interesting presentation by Martijn Visser, on all Bugatti boats Niniette s, power racers engine aircraft, destroyers and Barbara III sailboat lot of new information and pictures were presented by Martijn.
After that, we had a visit by the museum of John, where the result of more than half a century of collecting items Bugatti is very remarkable indeed a picture below, which gives a small impression of what which can be seen.
The day was concluded with a very good dinner in a nearby restaurant.
Forum on the 100P secretprojects site, with various comments, including a redesign of a fighter version of 100P, using a Bugatti T67 V-16 engine.
The ADF Board of Directors has decided that we need to find a quick way to exchange information, that's why I put the ADF file server online.
All members can download here and see all the Bugatti 100P and associated information Of course, the file server is when partially filled, plase help you can.
Of course, the information is intended only to members of BAA, it is not permissible that the information will be used in external publications, without the authorization of BAA BAA acquires 15 May 2008 2 aircraft parts.
The BBA has received two parts, which were probably intended for the Bugatti Airplane The two identical parts were offered to the chairman of BAA Jaap Horst Norbert Bukowski, to be placed on the parties to Jaap sales page Bugatti site Jaap compares the photographs he had received Norbert who identified the parts as perhaps T64 with all drawings and photos of the Bugatti aircraft it has in its records Jaap finally faced a photograph from the collection of Jean Louis Arbey, which has several aircraft parts Bugatti in his possession two similar, though slightly different, the parts are shown in the photo below.
We still do not know exactly how the engines were mounted, it seems that the engines were mounted on two rails along each side of the engine, these rails being attached to the engine mounts and the engine mounts to the fuselage walls .
Parts is aluminum and have two horizontal holes and three vertical width of the base portion is 100 mm, 140 mm maximum width, 85mm height, thickness 44 mm The distance between the two large holes is 100 mm, a diameter of 14mm distance between the two external vertical holes is 70 mm, 11 mm diameter of the third hole is ecactly the middle, with a ofset 20 mm.
The parties seem to have not been used at all, no assembly scratches or tightening bolts or otherwise it is nothing strange, a lot of double entry are known to exist, such as all parts of collection Arbey are also the aircraft drawings metal parts present in the library of the museum Schlumpf in Mulhouse, indicated that two items should be Bugatti was actually making parts for both aircraft, but only one plane was really.
So what is the first parts, still more to do before you can put a replica of the plane together, using original parts 3 of 5 How would working for a plane April 28, 2008 Interesting site and forum.
A discussion forum that the plane Bugatti hunting version, the 110P, might look includes a drawing where the cylinder 16 T67 was set 100P.
And a complete searchable archive of all issues of the magazine Flight United Kingdom from the beginning of the magazine in 1909 alone on the plane Bugatti several articles on deMonge and Breguet-Bugatti, also articles on Deutsch of Meurthe races.
These are images of the wooden propeller deMonge flying wing aircraft type July 5, 1925 This aircraft was powered by two engines Bugatti Brescia 4-cylinder 1500cc each Propeller is made by the Lumiere company, which was at that time owned deMonge the photographs were kindly send us by the owner Daniel Lapp France.
Apparently Louis deMonge, known to be the chief designer for the runner 100P air Ettore Bugatti, made the design of this improved propeller during his military service in World War II, a hangar door he turned in a drawing table aparently design was succesfull in being a helix much more effective than what has been used to date.
This propeller was one of two that were used on the deMonge May 7, one of the various aircraft designed and built by Louis de Monge, sometimes in collaboration with other The May 7 was a small design of the flying wing, 7 3 being a larger version.
The propeller in the light trademark on it, and is on the turntable; 5 and 7 Monge Bugatti in 1500 in the upper right of the image deMonge 7 5 showing that the fuselage has a wing profile Learn more about deMonge and his creations in various issues Pegasus 7 April 2008 Bugatti Aircraft Association reorganizes .
As you know, this association was headed by myself, Jaap Horst, for 10 years, in this period, I made 18 issues of the newsletter Pegasus, and in what period the number of members has steadily increased to about 55 today.
As BAA is an international organization, the distances make it difficult to organize meetings where people can actually see and talk to the plane If we can make a separate sectoral organization for each major country, there may be meetings for each country separately I did count the following members.
13 Netherlands Belgium France Switzerland 10 17 United States 8 United Kingdom.
Logically, it was decided that we need a branch in the US, UK, French and Netherlands Other countries Italy, Austria, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland have only one or a few members each Member these countries can of course attend meetings of the industry in other countries.
After this decision, I had contact with members of the Board possible for each country, I already had some enthusiastic members with whom I communicated a lot, so that the members of the Board or Directors for the different countries are.
US John M High Point Mellberg, NC maybe with the help of his son John and Michael also Firczuk Durham, New Hampshire.
Netherlands Jaap Horst Nieuwegein and Martijn de Visser Wilnis.
Contact information for members of the Board; further down the page April 7, 2008 Successful Meeting Rétromobile, Paris.
The BAA for 10 years was mostly a paper association members met once Rétromobile, and in August 2005, we organized a stand at the show Between Frederic Dietz Gasson and I grew the idea to organize new meeting, and this time let coincide with the car show classic Rétromobile in Paris, held each February idea behind this move is that many Bugattistes, among them a number of BAA's members visit each year Rétromobile a contact was established with the musйe of Air and Space at Le Bourget airport, on the north side of Paris, however, it appeared that the museum gives us a conference venue for free as BAA is not a rich association, we could not move forward with this Frédéric contacted the organization Rétromobile Thierry Farges had a new opportunity; organizing conferences Actually they use for conferences where the Bonhams auction took place there were two drawbacks; the conference should be held on the second weekend of Rétromobile with most BAA members go 1 weekend, and the language of all speech should be in French.
From there, we moved Frederic mainly fast forward with the organization he invited the author of aviation Philippe Ricco to hold an introduction on the plane My French proved to be too bad, but I was still holding my little welcome speech in English, translated Frederick, the ENSICA aeronautical University's students in Toulouse would hold an introduction to the study they are conducting on the 100P aircraft, and Frederick held a conference on the future date been set for Saturday, February 16, the next day there would be a possibility to meet musйe of Air and Space.
So what new information was given at the conference in the following, a brief overview of the required speech and surprising aspects in its picture content Frederic Gasson.
Philippe Ricco - The plane Bugatti 100P Topics covered include Philip Evolution of French aviation, Bugatti and aviation, Louis de Monge Cup Meurthe Deutsch, construction of the Bugatti 100P, other Philippe achievements of your colleagues commented how in the early 20th century, France was the center of aviation development, with many pioneering aviators during the first World war, making the aircraft was industrialized He continued in the first period after the war where mainly warproducts were reused, and streamlining futher and producers reunion took place later in the years of war inbetween.
It then focuses on the involvement of Bugatti in aviation, with WW1 engines and engines under license Bugatti Philippe shows many unknown photographs, which makes this very interesting game.
Apart from the famous Breguet Lйviathan, including Philippe showed some photos hitherto unknown as it is actually a color photograph, or perhaps a color photograph and a plan for this type of power plant 900hp Jet 20 also autogyro more unknown Laboratory Breguet was included, with many more photos Bugatti radiator-shaped, and the outlines of Breguet-Bugatti motor 8 CYLINDER can be seen See for more information Pegasus 12.
Philippe concludes the story of Bugatti in aviation with a list of French patents, many of them already known.
The story continues logically an overview of air constructions by Louis de Monge, Philippe gives the following list, and gives some new photos 1914 BUSCAYLET expйrimental а wing Vivante 1921 Lumiиre-Monge From May 1, 1923 BUSCAYLET-De Monge May 2, 1925 De Monge July 3, 1925 De Monge 7 May 1927 De Monge 01.10 Koolhoven FK-31 1931 De Monge 120 RN3.
Especially BUSCAYLET From 1923 Monge-May 2 and 1925 From March 7 Monge were planes that I do not know yet, and are a very interesting addition to the story that eventually led to the Bugatti 100P.
Philip then gave an overview of the history of the Cup of Meurthe Deutsch, an award created in 1900 by Henry Deutsch of Meurthe and Ernest Archdeacon There were 5 races from 1912 to 1922 to more than 200, 200 twice, and finally 300 km it was recreated in 1931 by Suzanne Deutsch of the Meurthe, there were three races in 1933, 1934 and 1935.
Philippe Ricco passes the history of development of the aircraft Bugatti, with 1 liter 2x3 2 design that has not been executed, the 100P, 101P with a smaller size and 110P Combat Version It shows some s picture that were not included in Pegasus before also, Philippe watch new designs, made by Philippe Ricco Tilley André concludes with an overview of the subsequent constructions made by those who worked on the plane Bugatti Stark André, and Max André Grenet Holste Especially the last was successful after the war.
Florent Barbes, Yannick Neubrand Morgan Cotel, Elena Collado Morata Йtude wind tunnel of bass speed flight envelope Students over Toulouse ENSICA study the behavior of the Bugatti 100P This project was initiated by Frederic Gasson, who built May 1 scale model above will be used in wind tunnel tests Aim of the study is to increase knowledge in particular stability at low speed of the aircraft Bugatti basically, there are 3 steps project - preliminary study, in which the order of magnitude different speed settings, forces etc. are estimated - the windtunnel test itself and the preparations for this test - post-test analysis Transpose to scale scale effect Geometry and Reynolds turbulence speed direct analysis analysis using computer simulations.
The windtunnel used for testing was built in 1941 and has been used for many aircraft trials, including the Concorde.
The results of this study will be published in Pegasus in the near future.
Frederic Gasson - Bugatti 100P recovery project Frederic Gasson will in the postwar history of the aircraft Bugatti, putting course end in the situation as it is today, in the EAA Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
It then passes through the plane's details, showing many interesting pictures Shown is a vintage photograph of the wing, clearly showing the aircraft flaps Bugatti 100P Most of them were taken when the plane was being restored in Oshkosh Mellberg told John that the red color now feature for the cockpit and the gray color for the engine compartment was painted like this by Lefferts, to hide the bad form the wood of the fuselage structure was.
Frederic continues with the history of speed records in aviation, both absolute records for propeller aircraft that the two sailors had landplanes Interestingly, Frederick also mentions speeds for modern aircraft with power limited See table on the right course, also directed his project for a flying replica of the aircraft Bugatti, which when executed in France, is easier to get certified when the power is limited to how 250HP he made May 1 RC model, it will probably be performed in epoxy carbon fiber.
The meeting lasted about 2 and a half hours with about 50 people present, which was quite well done Thanks to Thierry Farges and Rétromobile organization After the conference we spoke live among all lovers of aviation and Bugatti.
The next day there was a visit to musйe of Air and Space at Le Bourget airport, also in Paris, where about 10 persons have seen some of the competitors in the cut Deutsch of the Meurthe and well H32 course the great Breguet - Bugatti T32B engine shown Go.
