Hi,

Clement-Bayard was also designed a glider in 1908,but remained a Project only.

Yes Hesham,

It was a lenticular (saucer) glider inspired by Louis Capazza, the first aeronaut to cross the mediteranean sea, and land in Corsica.
Way back in 1908, the information available was published in a issue of l'Aerophile (picture attached, even if this is watermarked); it inferred the lenticular gliding airship was being built. I can even remember (for sure) seeing a picture of a small scale model of this flying machine actually built (maybe not entirely completed). But that was a long time ago.
The .pdf linked in the kick off message shows Capazza in 1908 with Clement Bayard. Looping the loop.

Oh Gosh… My first message was replete with typos originating from automated spell-checks and errors… Grrrr. Automation…

Hi,

I heard that,the designer associated with Astra firm,was that right ?.

 

[burunduk]

AFAIK not, but in 1908 Clément-Bayard has built a dirigible named "Astra".

I doubt that C-B № 6 and C-B flying boat were really built. No info in magazines, no photos, just "contemporary provisional drawings". Can somebody, please, clarify this?

Dear Burunduk,

in the first post,a PDF contains everything about him.

Dear Hesham, I have read Hartmann's brochure and don't agree with you. The text is unclear: "... le bureau d’études Clément-Bayard revoit une fois de plus sa copie et propose en 1913 dans le cadre d’un concours militaire un grand biplan triplace d’observation."

What does it mean "propose d'un concours"? It may be both: real aircraft or just paper project. In the list of aircraft participated in the French 1913 military competition there is no such biplane.

The same story with hydravion, mentioned by Opdycke: situation remains unclear.

Not unclear. It says that Clément-Bayard went back to the drawing board again and submitted in 1913 a large three-seater observation biplane as part of a military tender. ("dans le cadre d'un concours militaire")

 

[burunduk]

But the tender proposal may be just paper project.
