The Refern Fokker Dr.1 is a single engine triplane with conventional landing gear.The aircraft plans were developed by the Walter Redfern Company using Peter M. Bowers' triplane plans, Smithsonian plans and original plans from Reinhold Platz, a member of the original German design team for the Dr.1.
The Airdrome Fokker DR-1 features a strut-braced triplane layout, a single-seat open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric .
A flyable reproduction of the Fokker Dr.I of World War I, the best known triplane. During World War I, some aircraft manufacturers turned to the triplane configuration for fighter aircraft. In practice these triplanes generally offered inferior performance to the equivalent biplane and, despite a brief vogue around 1917, only four types saw ...
The aircraft features a strut-braced triplane layout, a single-seat open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1] The Sands Fokker Dr.1 Triplane is made from welded steel tubing and wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. The cockpit width is 28 in (71 cm).
Licenses for production of Le Rhône series engines were negotiated with companies in Great Britain, Austria, Italy, Russia, Sweden and Germany. Le Rhône-designed engines powered many of the most famous WW1 aircraft, including the Sopwith Pup, the Sopwith Camel, the Nieuport 11 "Bebe" and the Fokker Dr.1 "Triplane". [1] [2]
The UR.II was used in the Fokker Dr.I and Fokker D.VI. By 1917, the UR.II had been rendered obsolete by its relatively low power and poor performance at altitude. An 11-cylinder development, the UR.III, was not used operationally. Indeed, by 1918, rotary engines had largely fallen from favor with the Idflieg and with pilots.
Fokker Dr.I replica at the ILA 2006, the "Red Baron" triplane. In 1915, the Fokker E.I was the first fighter armed with a synchronized machine gun firing through the propeller, achieving air superiority during the Fokker Scourge. Manfred von Richthofen ("The Red Baron," the top scoring World War I ace) is associated with an all-red Fokker Dr.I ...
