Bernard Designations

[Cy-27]

I suspect the attached scan of designations may be from Les Avions Bernard by Jean Liron - can anyone confirm?

I presume the projects are the items with the exemplaire column set to 0 (I'm not a French speaker, I have more of an 'Allo 'Allo style).

I had no idea so many designs came from Avions Bernard.

Yes, you're right. Columns are: type/engine/hp/wingspan/length/height/wing area/empty weight/gross weight/max speed/range/ceiling/category/year/prototype registration/number built/remarks.

 

[Cy-27]

Many thanks C460, now I must try and source a copy of the book, not just two pages ! It sounds quite extensive even for non-French speakers...

 

[hesham]

Great list my dear Cy-27,


and I know the Bernard series 80 reach to designation 88,that's from Trait d'Union
magazine.

 

[Stargazer]

I know the Bernard series 80 reach to designation 88,that's from Trait d'Union magazine.

Le Trait d'Union was wrong then. The list is pretty clear that the numbers went much higher than 88.

 

[hesham]

Stargazer,


may be you don't understand me,I meant the series 80 only,it ended by 88,and
that Info is not available by Internet.

 

[c460]

Here is a list of Bernard designations. The main sources are the book Les avions Bernard by Liron, and the articles by Claveau in Trait d'Union no.146 (and 205).

Main aircraft companies founded by Adolphe Bernard:

• Établissements Adolphe Bernard Company created in 1917 to manufacture Spad fighters.
  
• Société Industrielle des Métaux et du Bois (SIMB) Nicknamed Ferbois. Active from 1919 to 1926, made aircraft from 1922.
  
• Société des Avions Bernard (SAB) Active from 1927 to 1935.

The former Bernard design team was dispersed after 1935. Georges Bruner and Jean Galtier were briefly hired by Fouga, then Bruner worked for Gourdou and Galtier went to Arsenal. Roger Robert went to CAPRA, predecessor of Matra.

Well done my dear Adrien.

 

[Stargazer]

Gosh!! You've been busy! Brilliant stuff, thank you so much, c460.

Also from Onera Archive,

90H was a seaplane of flying boat Project of 1929,maybe developed from Type-90 ?
140,140H & 140Mod was a three airplanes,a landplane and a seaplane
also there was a modified version Projects from 1932 ?
340H maybe a seaplane version of Type-340 BN.5,Project of 1933 ?
50 or H-50 maybe proceeded H-52,was a single seat seaplane fighter
Project of 1932 ?
Four-Eng was a four engined seaplane or flying boat Project ?

[Apophenia]

90H was a seaplane of flying boat Project of 1929,maybe developed from Type-90 ?

If by 'Type-90' you are referring to the 90 BR, it would be the other way around. The Bernard 90 hydravion dates from 1929, the Bombardier de Représailles (Reprisal Bomber) programme from 1933. Since this hydravion predates the 90 BR by four years, the question becomes: Was the 1933 Bombardier de Représailles a land-based development of the earlier Bernard 90 hydravion?

That said, I think we need to be very careful about using short forms that resemble official designations - eg: '90H', '140Mod', '340H', etc. The ONERA (L'Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aéronautiques) pdf ONERA: Essais en Soufflerie lists the designation the type numbers 90, 140, and 340 with 'Hydravion' solely as their description. (ONERA also lists the type 140 and 340 as 'Avion' but we feel no compulsion to create a '140A' or '340A' designation.)

Where Bernard applied 'H' for hydravion, it seems always to be as a prefix (eg: the H.50 listed by ONERA, the H.52 float-fighter, or HV.100 - for Hydravion de Vitesse - flying boat racer). So, it possible that a built Bernard 90 may well have been designated 'H.90' ... but we have no evidence for that. Ditto for the '140H' and.

There are similar issues with '140Mod'. ONERA lists "140 modifié", obviously refering to a variant of the original 140 landplane (or its wind tunnel model). When existing Bernard types were given minor modifications, they seem always to take on a new role designator suffix - eg: Bernard 18 T modified for distance flying becomes the 18 GR (Grand Raid). More serious modification of the Bernard 18 T were first indicated by bis ('again') as in 18 T bis or re-designated (as, in this case, the Bernard 190 T).

340H maybe a seaplane version of Type-340 BN.5,Project of 1933 ?

Same issue, the 1933 340 BN 5 was likely a derivative of that 1929 340 hydravion. Oh, and the undated four-engined seaplane is listed as Quadrimoteur, not 'Four-Eng'.

There are also some glitches in the ONERA listings. The V 3, HV 40, and HV 41 - all wind tunnel tested in 1929 - show up with numeral prefixes '9' or '12'. Other than that '9' or '12', there is no change in the listings. Under the '9' prefix, the V 3 bis also shows up (a variant which is not on c460's designation list). There is also a glitch in the C1 chasseurs monoplaces suffix listings where the '1' is displayed as a superscript ... Okay, pedant-mode off

Another designation of interest in the ONERA listings is the Bernard 15 C1 hydravion wind tunnel tested in 1929. Presumably, Bernard was considering a float fighter derivative ... but why three years after the SIMB AB 15 prototype had flown?

Undesignated in the ONERA listing is the twin-engined Bernard-Ferbois hydravion wind tunnel tested in 1926. I presume that this would be a float version of the "Bernard-Ferbois V 2 racer? (I rule out a V 3 derivative only because that design was wind tunnel tested in 1929.)

 

[hesham]

From Aviation magazine 1957,

I found this strange designation,HV.45,also in Avions magazine,they mentioned the same thing ?.

 

[Schneiderman]

The Bernard HV.45 was a twin-float trainer for the HV.42 Schneider Trophy racer.

https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/bernard-projects.7904/page-2#post-199506

But that is not what it says in your link

 

[hesham]

From Aviation magazine 1960,

here is the list,and we can add AB.13T & HV.47.

 

[Schneiderman]

I think we have already shown that HV47 is a mistake, a misreading of HV41.

 

[hesham]

From Aviation magazine 1960,

So weird,

in this list,Bernard Type-60 was developed at first as single engined
transport airplane,later improved into three engined.

Also Type-260 at first was powered by one 500 hp Hispano-Suiza 12
Xbrs engine and had a rounded wing tips, later developed with 690 hp
Hispano-Suiza 12 Xbrs engine and square wing with front radiator.

 

[hesham]

From Onera archive,

I think both of those airplanes are the same (four engined),but one was a seaplane and the other was a landplane,please see wing tunnel number ?,
and definitely they were from 1923/24.

 

[Apophenia]

From Onera archive,

I think both of those airplanes are the same (four engined),but one was a seaplane and the other was a landplane,please see wing tunnel number ?,
and definitely they were from 1923/24.

Sorry, I'm having trouble following some your reasoning here.

"I think both of those airplanes are the same (four engined) ..."

Can we accurately draw that conclusion solely from these two wind tunnel models being included in N° rapport 180/A? Related airframe shapes makes sense but plenty of related models are tested with differing numbers of nacelles (or even interchangeable model parts). Or have I missed something here?

"please see wing tunnel number ?,"

Yes, all three models in your clipping shown testing in 2012 ZN 85 1 - soufflerie n°1 (aka S1) at the Institut Aérotechnique (IAT) at Saint-Cyr. But so too were more than 60 other entries in that ONERA list.

"and definitely they were from 1923/24."

I assume that your certainty about dates is based on rapport 140/A being from 1923 while rapport 188/A was from 1924? That makes sense. So why does ONERA's 'Date' column lists "s.d." (sans date)?

If report numbering was sequential, the date would clearly be 1924 - witness rapports 173/A, 177/A, 182/A, and 188/A - all tested in 2012 ZN 85 1 during 1924. Those report numbers bracket 180/A. But ONERA doesn't draw this seemingly obvious conclusion in Série 5 F 9. Perhaps they just missed the connections?

[dan_inbox]

Thanks for those very interesting scans, Bazinga.

Surprising name for Bernard 82, "bombardier de représailles" sounds like a forerunner of the infamous Vergeltungswaffe. Vergeltungsbombenflugzeug ?

 

[hesham]

From George Messier's site,

Three Engines was a three engined airplane project of 1928/29,may it was
a transport,Model-130 ?.

be AB.5 ?

Three Engined it was a three engined landplane of 1923/24,there is no definition of its function,could

[hesham]

I complete it,any corrections or additions are welcome.

 

[hesham]

My dear Apophenia,

you are right about HV.120-1,it's HV.120-2,but what do you mean by 140mod
was not a designation ?.

 

[hesham]

Just as I said. The ONERA entry '140 modifié' is a description rather than a designation. The fact that this form is not reflected by any of the other Bernard designations in your listing helps to confirm this.

Going back to ONERA's listing of Bernard aircraft, we have a [Type] 140 listed as a Hydravion and a 140 modifié given as a plain Avion. From that, you have inferred three separate variants:

- 1: "H.140 was a seaplane project";
- 2: "Type-140 ... a landplane project version of H.140"; and
- 3: [Type] "140Mod" a "modified variant" of that landplane derivative

There is a simpler interpretation available to us. As the ONERA listing suggests, the Type 140 was the hydravion. In other words, the Type 140, given a class designation prefix, is the same thing as the H 140. And then, this Type 140 concept was modified in some unspecified way. Thus, we have:

- 1: Type 140: (Project) aka H 140; seaplane (probably a floatplane); and
- 2: Type 140: (Project) modified H 140 concept; perhaps as a landplane

So, again, what I am asking is: Do you have any contemporary evidence to confirm the existence of a Bernard design 'Type-140Mod'?

Please look to the wind tunnel model's number,they are different ?.

- To be continued

Again and again,please don't be worried or upset from the unknown aircraft
in the list,all of them are from a reliable sources as I mentioned before,but I
only added the speculations of their designations.no more.

 

[Stargazer]

I have finally taken the type to properly organize my Bernard models list and to go to the source of each designation so as to verify as much as I could from period publications. Everything is in the Excel file below (I have chosen to share my lists in that manner from now on, because it's simpler to update them (you simply replace the file) and it also prevents possible mistakes to find their way in search engine results.

Here are my conclusions regarding a few controversial questions (you don't have to agree of course), and a few reflections/hypotheses:

• The A.B. list started at A.B. 1 (Type 1) under Établissements Adolphe Bernard in 1918 and continued all the way up to 370 (Type 37) in more or less chronological order. One additional designation, 500 T, was just given out of sequence and does not imply the existence of any designations between 380 and 490.
  
  
• Types A.B.-1 to -4 applied to Établissements Adolphe Bernard types.
  Types A.B.-5 to -18 applied to Société industrielle des métaux et du bois (SIMB, a.k.a. "Ferbois") types.
  Types 18 (181) to 370 applied to Société des Avions Bernard (SAB) types.
  One additional aircraft is associated with Bernard, the Chantiers de Provence C.P.A.-1 (which NASM has as "CPA-1M"—the suffix "M" probably being for "military" rather than "multiplace" since it was only a two-seater).
  
  
• Although the precise allocation of A.B. 5 to 9 is not clearly stated, we find exactly five types between A.B 4 and A.B. 10:
  - the so-called A.B. C1
  - the A.B. 3M and 3T projects
  - the V-1
  - the V-2
  - the V-3
  It seems quite obvious to me that the 3M/3T projects had nothing to do with the earlier A.B.3 and could not therefore carry the Type 3 number. As a matter of fact, 3M probably just meant "trimotor, multiplace", while 3T indicated "3 tractor engines", as opposed to the 2 tractors/1 pusher configuration of the 3M. Besides, 3M and 3T they never show up hyphenated.
  And so, we have five slots which COULD be broken down as Types A.B. 5 to A.B. 9, although we have little to back it up.
  There is of course the cryptic ONERA entries "9 V-3" and "9 V-3 bis" which could confirm the V-3 as A.B. 9... except the list also has "12 V-3", invalidating the whole thing. My hunch is that the numbers "9" and "12" before designations V-3, HV 40 and HV 41 probably indicated different engine configurations with either 9- or 12-cylinder engines.
  
  
• A.B. 10 is a little tricky, because we find both A.B-10 C1, which was the former A.B. C1 reworked, and A.B. 10T, a totally distinct and huge flying boat project. So which was the actual Type 10? Since the former is from 1924 and the latter from 1925, I'm tempted to keep the first one, and assign the second one to the missing "A.B.-11"... My reasoning is that "10T", like 3T before it, might refer to something else... The "T" could mean "tractor", or more likely "trimotor", but it could also be the weight (10 tons?) One thing is for sure: both types could not be A.B.10, unless the designation was reused of course, which remains a possibility.
  
  
• Besides Type 11, Types 13 and 17 are also not clearly established. However, the Type 13 was described in Les Ailes as a landplane trimotor passenger transport project (see clipping shared by hesham earlier in the thread), from which we can infer that the undesignated all-metal transport project was most likely the Type 17. Type 18 was started under SIMB, but I've chosen to place it under SAB as it had its career during the SAB years.
  
  
• Type 19 (190) was planned from the very start with seven possible engines (Hispano, Gnome-Rhône, Lorraine, Renault, Farman, Liberty and Pratt & Whitney), and designations 191 up allocated. That explains why the 197 GR got such a high number before the 192 T and 193 T were even flown. Although the exact allocation of "196" is not known, we can assume it was reserved for either the Liberty or P&W version, cancelled at an early stage.
  
  
• Types 45 and 47 never existed! The articles that mention them fail to show photo of the aircraft's tails that would validate those designations, and given that both are said to have been 1928 types, it seems obvious that "45" was just Type 40 while "47" was just Type 41—the latter typo being easily-made since the French "1", when in italics, could almost pass off as a seven.
  
  
• Producing the Type 50 as "H 52 C1" implies that two earlier designs were considered. And indeed, the ONERA list mentions an H 50 C1 seaplane. We can therefore imagine that an H 51 C1 version was also studied in-between, although no source mentions any such designation.
  
  
• The Type 80 series consisted of several built and unbuilt versions: 80 GR, 81 GR, 81 Bn3, 82 B3, 83 P3, 84 Cr2, 86 and 88. Two numbers remain undocumented: Jean Liron suggested that Type 85 may be a twin-engined bomber project, but Type 87 definitely remains something of a mystery.
  
  
• The Type designation "90" was allocated twice: first to an unspecified seaplane tested at ONERA in 1929 (probably H 90 for Bernard) and a much later 1934 "Retaliation Bomber" derived from Type 82 B3 and studied in two different versions.
  
  
• It is not clear why the very last Bernard airplane, derived from the H 52 C1, was designated H 110 C1. I can see two possible explanations: either the number had not been used before, or the project existed long before F.B.A. actually built the aircraft.
  
  
• If it weren't for ONERA, we wouldn't know about Type 140. Their records show that no less that three versions were tested in 1932: 140, modified 140 and 140 seaplane (probably H 140 for Bernard).
  
  
• The Type designation "170" was allocated twice: 170 V was a single-engine racer officially requested from Bernard but not proceeded with for lack of funds; the 170 B3 was a twin-engine bomber project.
  
  
• Type numbers "180" and "190" were skipped, since these numbers were already in use for versions of Types 18 and 19.
  
  
• A Type 260 G found in the Messier projects list as a 1931 study is undocumented.
  
  
• As-yet unknown Type number allocations are as follows: 130, 150, 230, 240, 250, 270, 280, 310, 330, 350 and 360.
  
  
• Confirmed existing aircraft which I haven not found any photo of:
  - A.B. 3 (postal aircraft)
  - A.B. 16 Col5 (general purpose aircraft)
  - 60 T (Titan-powered and G-R 7 Kdrs-powered variant)
  - 61 T (former 60 T modified with metallic fuselage)
  - 70 C1 (two prototypes used for static tests, one became S 72)
  - 73 S (Lorraine-powered former S 73)
  - 82 (Diesel modification)
  - 84 Cr2 (former 81 GR modified for London-Melbourne race)
  - 161 T (second prototype with Lorraine Algol engines)
  - 205 T (former 200 T with four-blade propeller)
  - 261 C1 (like 260 C1 but with retractable gear)
  
  
• Projects known to have existed but with no identified designations:
  - Two wooden wind-tunnel test models (one of which I guess could be the V-3)
  
  
• Remaining questions / uncertainties:
  - Were the first four Types 190 T upgraded to the later raised/enclosed cockpit standard?
  - Was Type 193 T actually built, as Liron initially suggested in Aviation Magazine, or was it a mistake?
  - Did Type 207 T N° 2 [F-AMOS] become [F-APOS] as found, or is it a mistake?
  -Type "350" project of 1933, mentioned by hesham: can't seem to find anything related to it. Any clues?
  - Finally, the specific engine versions/power of several types vary depending on sources, and still need to be confirmed.

As a bonus, here's a little infographic I created to present most of the early Bernard airplanes, using period documents whenever possible (only the 10 C1 comes from a more recent plan). The caricature on the right depicts Adolphe Bernard himself, of course!
(please bear in mind that relative sizes are very approximate—the A.B.-1 and -3 ought to be as large as the C.P.A.-1 for instance)

Type-71 Variant of the 70 with GR 5 Kb supercharged engine. Project only.

The Type 71 designation seems to be missing. I have it noted in my list somehow, with the mention "no data" but I don't know where I got it from initially or if it was a typo.

Amazing work of course,and about Type-71,it's a project.
