In 1910 Max Oertz built Doppeldecker with uncovered fuselage, pusher propeller and landing skids without wheels.
Oertz-Werke Doppeldecker
Aircraft
Oertz-Werke M1912-13
The Oertz-Werke Gmbh produced a single developed M1912-13 model.
Oertz-Werke M1911-12
The Oertz-Werke Gmbh produced three examples of the mid-wing M1911-12 monoplane Designed and built by May Oertz in Germany.
Oertz-Werke Gmbh
Max Oertz in Neuhof-Reiherstieg near Hamburg, Germany, an established builder of yachts, entered the aircraft business in 1911 and produced Wright machines.
They then built the Doppeldecker before another more well-known biplane. The company produced three examples of the mid-wing M1911-12 monoplane and a single developed M1912-13 model.
They built several flying boats and eventually sold the business to Hansa-Brandenburg in 1917.
Odier-Vendome 1911 monoplane
The Vendôme or Odier-Vendôme tractor monoplane with Viale engine and Antoine Odier’s typical gull wings, which were intended to provide stability in sidewinds, and arched landing gear. Built in France in 1911.
Odier-Vendome Biplane 1910
Carrying the names of its designer (Antoine Odier) and ordered by Turcat-Méry race car driver Henri Rougier, this pusher biplane was built by the Vendôme company. It appeared in 1909 and was (under)powered by one of Rougier’s employers 18hp Turcat-Méry engines.
The designer also made the first flight of this, his first aircraft in May 27, 1909, which was also Odier’s first flight, ever.
A later improved tractor biplane followed in 1910, with less arched wings.
Odier & Bessiere Clino-giro
French engineers Odier and Bessiere flew their combination airplane and autogyro, dubbed the “Clino-giro”, in 1931, at Guyancourt. The foundation of the craft is a revamped Caudron C-193 with a rotor smaller and stiffer than normal for an autogyro attached. Th engineers claimed that the craft had a climb angle three times that of an ordinary airplane and a radius of action much better than that of a conventional autogyro.
Ochoa Jersey Devil
The “Jersey Devil”, also known as the “Jersey Mosquito” or “Ochoaplane” built by Victor Leaton Ochoa, and datable to 1908-09 in the USA. Based on two bicycle frames between which was mounted a six-horse power motor and below that a seat for the operator. The whole machine weighs about 250 pounds. The craft is notable for having several ‘interesting’ design features, such as the retractable truss-work wing structure, and the wing surface being concave, not convex.
Očenášek Monoplane
Built by the Bohemian pioneer Ludvík Očenášek (1872-1949) in 1910. It was powered by a 50 hp rotary and is sometimes mentioned as “2-seater monoplane” – derived from a Blériot.
