Murphy Maverick

TerryLeave a comment

Designed by Daryl Murphy, the Maverick is a side by side seated, high wing airplane has always had great appeal to a wide variety of flyers. From the every day pilot who likes to fly around his own patch to the outdoorsman or others who want to land in small strips, many pilots prefer the Maverick for it’s performance, visibility and visual appeal.

A lightweight version of the Rebel kitplane, the Maverick uses riveted sheet construction, although the wings are partially fabric covered.

The Design has been analyzed and tested to meet these Regulations:

  1. Airworthiness Standards, Chapter 522 Subchapter C – Structures Gliders and Powered Gliders issued by: Transport Canada, Jan. 1986
  2. European Joint Airworthiness Standards JAR 22 Subpart C – Structure
  3. British Civil Airworthiness Requirements Section S Small Light Aeroplanes (CAP 482)
  4. FAA – CFR – Part 23 Airworthiness Standards, Normal, Utility & Acrobatic Category Airplanes Subpart C-Structure, Jan. 1982
  5. Canadian Advanced Ultralight Regulation TP 101.41.

The design is eligible for certification in the Normal Category at a Gross Weight of 950 lbs to all the above Standards

The Phoenix Aircraft Maverick PA is a further development of the Murphy Maverick from Canada. The Maverick PA is almost entirely built in Germany.

Mureaux 110 / 111 / 113 / 115 / 117

TerryLeave a comment

The ANF Les Mureaux 110 originated with a French air ministry requirement for an aircraft to replace the Breguet 19 in Armeé de l’Air service in the “R2” reconnaissance role. The Mureaux 110 first flew in 1931. Two slightly different variants, the 110 and 111 were presented to the air force for evaluation, and were soon ordered into production.

The first mass-production version was the 113 in 1933, of which 49 examples were purchased.

This was supplanted in production by the 115 in 1935 and the 117 later than year. The major difference between the 117 and the earlier 115 was that the 117 had improved aerodynamics. Both these series were given light bombing capability as well. By the outbreak of World War II, the ANF Les Mureaux 117 equipped nine Groupes Aériens d’Observation.

Mureaux 117

The Mureaux 115.R2 was a two-seat fighter. A Mureaux 115 model was the first French aircraft destroyed by the Luftwaffe.

In early 1938, the Ilmavoimat / Maavoimat test team evaluated the ANF Les Mureaux 117. It was assessed as a rugged but somewhat dated aircraft similar to the Fokker C.X the Ilmavoimat already had in service and without any real multi-role or STOL capability.

A total of 285 military reconnaissance aircraft were built.

ANF Les Mureaux 117
Engine: single 634-kW (850-hp) Hispano-Suiza 12Yers
Maximum speed: 210 mph
Range: 620 miles
Service ceiling: 32,800 ft
Armament: 1 × 20 mm Hispano-Suiza HS.9 cannon through propeller hub, 2 × fixed, forward firing 7.5 mm MAC 34 machine guns and 2 × flexible 7.5 mm MAC 34 machine guns for observer
Bombload: 200 kg (440 lb)
Crew: 2 (Pilot and Observer)

Mureaux 4

TerryLeave a comment

The ANF les Mureaux series of light observation aircraft first appeared in late 1920’s and developed further into the 1930’s. The Mureaux served as a forward reconnaissance aircraft to the start of World War 2. The aircraft was wholly outclassed in many ways though some 100 were still in operational service.

The design of the Mureaux 4 was with simple static landing gear, a high-monoplane wing on supportive struts and seating for two personnel. With limited armament options, the Mureaux served a more definitive role of reconnaissance and could operate up to 500 miles at altitudes upwards of 26,000 feet.

Only one Mureaux 4 fighter was built, first flying in 1928.

By the time the German Luftwaffe invasion over French airspace in 1940, the Mureaux series was already on its way out. The system was eventually replaced by the more capable Potez series 63.11 aircraft in the same role.

Mummert 1921 biplane

The Mummert biplane was designed and built in 1921 by Harvey Mummert, a Curtiss engineer from Long Island, New York. Powered by a 28-hp Lawrence engine, it featured a laminate-plywood monocoque fuselage, such as those used on the Curtiss Oriole. Only one was built.

Engine: 28-hp Lawrence
Wingspan: 18 ft
Length: 12 ft
Loaded weight: 591 lb
Speed: 90 mph
