Hi,


the Bodiansky Type 20 was a well known aircraft,does anyone know the Bodiansky
Type 16 and Type 30 aircraft ? ,all I know the Type 30,only one aircraft was built.
 
My dear Toura,


the Bodiansky Type 16 and Type 30 are mentioned in Trait d'Union magazine,
issue 161,but I don't have it.
 
Did a bit of searching on Bodiansky... A very interesting guy!

Vladimir Bodiansky was born in Kharkov, Ukraine, in 1894. He graduated from the Moscow Institute of Roads and Bridges. He then obtained a degree as a civilian aeronautics engineer from the aeronautics institute of Leningrad (some sources claim he also graduated from the French Ecole Supérieure d'Aéronautique). After designing and building several aircraft (including a seaplane) Bodiansky spent most of his career in France as a teacher at the famed Paris School of the Fine Arts. He became a technical adviser with the United Nations on the construction of their New York headquarters in 1947 (alongside with Le Corbusier), and also actively worked on Marseilles' La Cité Radieuse, buildings in Dabendé, Guinea, and the Olympic compound in Phnom-Penh, Cambodia. He even conceived a telescope!

At least two sites mention Bodiansky T-2,here is one of them (Messier);

http://www.acam.asso.fr/histo/premiers_equipements6.php
 
Further to the previous references to Mr Bodiansky, I came across this site, http://p-d-m.livejournal.com/461717.html, which features both the Pics of the Type 20 which came up in the E Bay sale and also the Type 30 Seaplane shot. I also noticed in the text that it mentions that there are doubts whether the Type 16 'came into metal' as it so eloquently puts it, making it sound like that was a paper project only.
 
Also amongst my trawl for Bodiansky 20 pics I came across this one on http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/17-The-Ongoing-Mystery-Aircraft-Thread-Part-Deux?s=a091abf6f6cf154d96371e68ef1c4aa6. Although of poor quality, at least it is a good side view of the aircraft.

Nice find my dear Victor,

you must to know that,this site always takes its Infos from our forum.
 
I posted that image on the Ongoing Mystery Aircraft thread on the SOH forum website. I sourced the photograph from Les Ailes and not this website. It would have been polite if VictorXL188 had credited me. And you, Hesham, ought to be a little more circumspect and less ready to make a vast generalisation when, at least on this occasion, there is no substance to it.
