Do you know what this is

[JRJ]

Can someone tell me what aircraft and or what engine ( manufacturer) this is
I know it's not a lot to go off of,

educated guesses are fine with me. Thanks

Clerget 9B?
Sopwith of sorts?

You might be correct on a Clerget 9B Graeme...and I lean towards an AVRO 504K for the a/c type looking at the cowling

 

[JRJ]

Thanks I will research those. Reason I'm asking is I have a giant picture of this in my office and people are always asking what plane and motor it is. Do you believe it is military if so is it WW II. Era or a civilian type
Thanks again for the replys

Do you believe it is American or something else.

The Clerget 9B rotary engine isn't the WWII era motor. It is the WWI engine made in 1913 and powered Avro 504K or Sopwith plane series and a couple more of the WWI biplanes. Please check the link below.. BTW it is a french engine also assembled in the Great Britain..

Thanks , When I looked up Avro 504k it says it was a 7 cylinder, this photo has 9 . Did they change to that in later years?

Thanks this seems to match up well.

The Avro 504 was powered by a couple of different engines of 80 KM – 130 KM. Initially it was the Gnome 80 KM then the Le Rhone 110 KM, Gnome Monosoupape 100 KM, Clerget 130 KM. The Gnome 80KM engine was The Gnome Lambda of 1911 and was a larger 80 hp (60 kW) version of the Omega, followed by the 9-cylinder 100 hp (75 kW) Gnome Delta in 1914 (also called the Gnome Monosoupape ) So you may find the Gnome 80KM seven-cilinder engine or the Gnome Monosoupape nine-cylinder design. Other engines were 9-cylinder units basicly.

Nieuport 28, anyone? It used a 9 cylinder rotary.

Nope.. the Nieuport 28 had a quite big apperture at the top of the cowling on its left side. It would be seen in the pic above partially. What is more the Nieuport didn't have these three stiffeners riveted there.

the pic source: the Internet.

Still think it's an Avro 504...looking at the cowling. If you google the Avro you also can see that it had different prop set ups. Counting the different nuts and bolts visible also adds up to my believe it being a 504 with a Clerget 9B engine fitted.

But than again....I'm no WW1 a/c buff

 

[Wurger]

I agree. It is the Avro 504 with the Clerget 9B engine.

Nadal uważam, że to Avro 504 ... patrząc na osłonę. Jeśli połączysz się z Avro, zobaczysz także, że miał różne zestawy podpór. Liczenie różnych widocznych śrub i nakrętek również przyczynia się do tego, że uważam, że jest to model 504 z zamontowanym silnikiem Clerget 9B.

Ale jeszcze raz .... Nie jestem fanem WW1 a / c
