It makes sense carnard comes from french so many other aircraft terms do as well. I'm of the opinion the Wright Brothers did retard US aircraft development time with their passion for copywrite enforcement. I can understand why in their eyes it was neccessary. Thankfully congress stepped in and bought the patents.
When it come to the US aircraft and the french aircraft you see most modelers doing warbirds from the USA even if they are in another country ,there is a reason for this. lol joe
Not from WWI!
I agree but after ww-1 it looked like they just gave up. I like planes that dont have turnbuckels and wire cause they stick my fingers and bleed.lol I also like seaplanes better than others so i have a 84 inch wing span Albitross iam starting soon and the same size twin otter on floats. My warbird days were over 15 years ago and i have sold off most of the scratch built ones i did to buy balsa for seaplanes.lol joe
