Burgess-Curtiss Model D

November / December 1910 at Ipswich

A hybrid of Farman and Wright machines, it was completed after the Harvard-Boston Aero Meet in 1910, first tried at the end of 1910, and flown into 1911. Passenger flights were undertaken until it crashed in April 1911. Its power plant was a 60 hp Hendee V-8, while a proposed 50 hp Gnôme was never fitted.
