Wrong Le Rhone, that's a 9C. M. Richtoven and Voss had captured Le Rhone 9J's fitted to their prototype Fokker F1's (not DR1's) from captured Nie. 17's. Those "potato" jokes are so appropriate. In the closing head-on shots you can see how undersized in diameter it is for the cowling. --I'll by that 9C for a new Nieuport 11, where it was used.
The 9J is only 2 inches larger in diameter than the 9C...if we removed the copper intake tubes, I'd be shocked if more than a few people could tell the difference between the two.
Ho-hum. Airplane in the sky, oh look it is yellow.. Where are the take off and landing??? The best parts of any aeroplane flight. The most difficult parts of flying these machines and you missed them. So close but no bananas.
I agree with you, I would have loved to have gotten the takeoff and landing, but it was an airshow and we couldn't see them takeoff and land from the show line. Maybe someday, I can get there when they are flying and it's not fenced off.
@@horsemoney That is a shame, the airshow people need to set aside a "press/camera" enclosure for the 'affectionadoes'. To give an example: I had a friend who flew the Tri-plane in his stocking feet to get a better feel on the rudder bar. It was that touchy. Having flown some of these older aeroplanes, the landings are a whole new facet of aviation. Good thing we invented the Spam-Cans. Cheers.
Beautiful footage.
Wow! What an incredible engine!
It takes some nuts to fly one of these with a rotary engine I can’t imagine this in ww1
Great swing starter at 3:06. But look at that crazy guy
who walks up with the spinning prop inches from his left ear!
TOP !!! BEST REGARDS FROM GERMANY !!!
Is that fast Eddie Leuter doing the announcing??
Bonus points for mentioning the difference between the Wankel rotary engine that powered the old Mazdas, and this type of rotary
The Le Rhone engine spins around the crank
I only can say this : ❤

Beautiful reproduction . Where is this?
