Gallaudet E-L 2 Monoplane
Striking originality in design was shown in the twin-pusher monoplane exhibition by the Gallaudet Aircraft Corporation. Mr. Gallaudet’s 1919 Sport Model has a high factor of safety and is easily maintained.
Two stock “Indian” motorcycle engines are located in the nose of the fuselage, connected to a common transverse shaft, and resting on the top of the plane, and driving twin-pusher propellers on longitudinal shafts driven by bevel-gears.
Engines are “oversize” models, giving 20 horse-power each at 2,400 R.P.M. Weight, 89 pounds each. Propellers are 3-bladed, 4 feet 8 inches in diameter, and 7 feet in pitch. Propellers run at one-half engine speed, 1,200 R. P. M.
The plane has a span of 33 feet.
