OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Curtiss Model E was an early aircraft developed in the United States in 1911. Essentially a refined and enlarged Model D, variants of the Model E made important steps in pioneering the development of seaplanes and flying boats in that country. Like its predecessor, the Model E was an open-framework biplane with two-bay unstaggered wings of equal span. In landplane configuration, it was fitted with tricycle undercarriage, and as a seaplane with a large central pontoon and outriggers under the wings. Most examples of the Model E followed the pattern of the headless Model Ds, with elevators and horizontal stabilizer carried together in the cruciform tail unit. The large ailerons were mounted in the interplane gap, their span continuing past the wings themselves, and were controlled by a shoulder yoke.
