Guimbal Cabri G2
The Guimbal Cabri G2 is a two-seat single-reciprocating-engine-powered light helicopter. The two-seat Cabri G2 light helicopter was designed by Bruno Guimbal, a Eurocopter engineer, and the prototype (F-PILA) made its first flight at Marseille-Marignane in April 1992.
Powered by a 150hp Lycoming, the main structure is carbon composite construction, and it uses a three bladed soft-inplane main rotor with carbon composite blades. The tail rotor is a fenestron design using seven injection moulded blades. Energy attenuating carbon composite seats of Guimbal’s own design are installed. The helicopter has conventional unassisted flight controls and largely conventional analogue instrumentation but uses its own design of electronic monitor for all engine functions.
An STC embodied on the engine is held by Guimbal and comprises a Plasma electronic ignition with variable timing to replace the RH retard-capable magneto, and also a compact oil filter housing.
Development continued at Aix-en-Provence with restricted DGAC certification being issued on 18 April 1994.The helicopter is the first light helicopter to be type certificated (Type Certificate R.145) by EASA against CS27.
Type Acceptance Certificate No. 11/21B/20 was granted on 22 June 2011 by New Zealand CAA.
Guillon and Clouzy 1907 biplane
Standing on three bicycle wheels and with wings twenty feet across, Mr. Guillon’s “airship” had a 20 hp engine drive the propeller, which was five feet long and made of aluminium. The total weight of the machine was 300 lb., and with Mr. Guillon on board, reclining in a sloping position of 45 degrees at the back, the weight was 420 lb. When tested at Epsom Downs, Surrey, UK, on 11 April 1907, the aeroplane started away at a good twenty miles an hour, but Mr. Guillon could not get the engine to work satisfactorily, and the machine failed to rise from the ground. Furthermore, the rudder did not seem to act properly, darting this way and that. The aeroplane kept the crowd of some fifty persons constantly running to keep out of danger. Six unsuccessful trials were made, then the axle was found to be bent, and the experiment came to an end.
Guillemin J.G.10
A two-seat light aircraft, the J.G.10, competed in the French Air Ministry Light Aeroplane Competition of 1931, but retired with engine trouble.
Guillemin J.G.40
M. J. Guillemin designed a high-wing single-engine light postal or ambulance monoplane, the J.G.40, shown on the Bleriot Aeronautique stand at the 1930 Paris Air Show. The latter company acquired the license to build aircraft.
Guiberson A-980 / A-1020
The Guiberson A-1020 (ATC 220) is a four-stroke diesel radial engine developed by for use in aircraft and tanks.
Development started in the 1930s with the A-918 designed by C C Spangenberger and A-980 designed by Fred A. Thaheld, which was first flown in 1931. It is a single-row direct drive nine cylinder-four cycle engine. Four A-918 were built.
Production A-1020’s and T-1020’s were designed and sold by Guiberson and produced by Buda Engine Co.
A T-1020 version was coincidentally produced for use in tanks. To demonstrate its capability to military and civil aviation officials in 1940, a 1500-mile flight from Dallas to Washington DC took 10h:35m flying time at an average 142mph. Cruising at 3000′ altitude at 1800rpm on Caterpillar tractor fuel (6 cents a gallon) consumed at the rate of 11.5 gph, cost was only $6.90. Three gallons of lubricating oil added $4.20—a total of $11.10 for fuel and oil for the flight. Its fuel cost of less than 12 cents a mile was an unheard-of figure for flight operations at the time.
