British Army Aeroplane No 1 : ウィキペディア英語版 | British Army Aeroplane No 1
The British Army Aeroplane No 1 or sometimes Cody 1 was a biplane built by Samuel Franklin Cody in 1907 at the Army Balloon Factory at Farnborough. It made the first recognised powered and sustained flight in the United Kingdom on 16 October 1908.〔 ==Background== In the early years of the twentieth century the British Army's limited interest in aeronautical matters was largely confined to the use of tethered balloons or kites for artillery observation purposes. Many people did not believe the Wright Brothers's claims of sustained controlled flight, and in 1907 officially sanctioned experiment at the Balloon Factory in Farnborough was limited to the building of the Dirigible No. 1 ''Nulli Secundus'', which was the Army's first powered airship, under the supervision of Colonel J.E. Capper, the commander of the balloon factory. In addition some highly secret experiments with gliders were being carried out at Blair Atholl in Scotland by J.W. Dunne in collaboration with Capper. In late 1907 the Director of Fortifications, Capper's immediate superior, was persuaded to allow the use of some of the Balloon Factory's resources for the construction of a powered aircraft, to be designed and built by the American Samuel Franklin Cody, who was at that time working with Capper on the ''Nulli Secundus''.
