Abramovich Flyer
Two-seater biplane inspired of the Wright Flyer I, the Abramovich Flyer was distinguished from the productions Wright of the time by the presence of a landing gear to wheels and of a conventional empennage in the place of the empennage original duck. If the technique of Warping of the wings to ensure control in flight of the plane was employed, the harness of the pilot was replaced by a `handle with brushes'. This aircraft flew successfully in 1912. It allowed its pilot-manufacturer, Vsevolod Mikhailovich Abramovich, to increase to 2100 m the world records of altitude, then at 46 minutes 57 seconds the record of duration with 4 passengers. It is unfortunately on this same biplane that it was to commit suicide, the April 24th 1913, whereas it gave a lesson to a raise-pilot.
