Designed by Gabriel and Charles Voisin of France, this aircraft type became a popular sight at aerial demonstration meets around the globe. Despite its marginal controllability, the Voisin set many records, and is largely responsible for creating an interest in aviation amongst all Europeans.
In May 1907 a sportsman named Henry Farman approached Voisin and in June bought an aicraft equipped with an .Antoinette 50 hp water cooled engine. In December this year Farman set the distance record of 771 meters in straight flight.
Perhaps the most famous man to ever fly a Voisin was the world renowned escape artist and magician, Harry Houdini, who became the first recorded pilot to ever successfully fly an aircraft in Australia.
Our model is built after the reconstruction in Musée de l’air in Paris, France. This aircraft was presented to the Museum by the Voisin brothers in 1920 and is furnished as the competing aircraft in 1907 at Reims. |
