Goupy Type B Explained

The Goupy Type B was a staggered biplane designed by Ambroise Goupy in the early 1910s.

Design

The Goupy Type B was a staggered biplane that could be fitted with main and tail floats, retaining the land uncarriage, to create a hydroplane.[1] The Goupy Type B.1 was a similar 3-seat version, exhibited at the 1913 Paris Aero Salon, powered by a Gnome 9 Delta 9-cylinder rotary engine.[1]
