Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The REP Type N was a military reconnaissance aircraft produced in France in 1914. It was a wire-braced, mid-wing monoplane of conventional design with fixed, tailskid undercarriage. The fuselage was constructed of steel tube and was of triangular cross-section, with the apex on the ventral side. The pilot and observer sat in tandem, open cockpits. Lateral control was by wing warping. In practice, since most wing warping designs involved flexing of structural members they were difficult to control and liable to cause structural failure. Ailerons had begun to replace wing warping as the most common means of achieving lateral control as early as 1911, especially in biplane designs. Monoplane wings of the period were much more flexible, and proved more amenable to wing warping - but even for monoplane designs, ailerons became the norm after 1915.
