LUSAC-11

LUSAC-11 (Lepere United States Army Combat) is a fighter of 2 seats developed during World War I in the United States of America. 30 planes were completed before war is over, but were not used in a battlefield. I attached the engine which I was used for experiments and added a turbocharger to and made the record of the high flight in the 1920s.

When the United States participated in the war during World War I, in the U.S. Army, a signal corps held 55 planes, but was not a solid line machine [1]. The military unit dispatched by the United States fought with a body made in France. LUSAC-11 will be developed as one of the plans to produce the planes by the design of France in the United States.

George ルペル (Georges Lepere) of the member of the French aviation delegation dispatched in the United States designed it. The wingspread of the upper flap was the same, and an upper wing was located by biplane between two of them forward than a flap. The body was a body of the plywood tension in wooden structure. It was equipped with liberty L-12 water-cooled engine of 425 hp. The front machine gun of two orders of 7.7mm and the backward machine gun of two orders were equipped with.

3,525 ordering was made by Packard Corporation, and the first body made the first flight in マクック airport of Ohio on May 15, 1918. It made an emergency landing by a trouble of the fueling, but I reached 219km/h, and the speed was satisfactory. Two prototypes and 25 mass-produced airplaneses were completed before World War I was finished, but the remaining mass production contract was canceled. Two planes were delivered to the army for evaluations before the end of the war, but it was said that I was not suitable for a front-line use. Few triplane models, an observation machine type were produced in LUSAC-21 equipped with French Bugatti 16 engine having been added in August, 1919 at the start.

I was not used as military use and was used for the communication of the delegation of European U.S. forces and was used for technology research in the country. I was equipped with a turbocharger and challenged a high record by management of Rudolf Schroder on February 27, 1920. An oxygen supply device broke down during a flight, and Schroder lost mind, but recovered just before a crash. Established a world record of 10,099m by this flight; [3] [4]. The record was updated to 10,518m by operation of John マクレディ on September 28. マクレディ won Mackay trophy, and this record was not broken for two years.
