Gasuden KR-1 Chidorigo (Plover)
Production of the D.H.83 reached a total of 98 aircraft completed in England, plus two examples in Australia and one copy in Japan. That machine was modelled after several original examples sold to that country, but it was fitted with a Gasuden Jimpu 3 radial engine of 150 hp. The aircraft went by the name of Gasuden KR-1 and was christened ‘Chidorigo’ (Plover). As far as is known, just this one example was built. The single Gasuden KR-1 was flown by the Japanese Aerial Transport Company.

Gasnier 1908 Biplane
The Gasnier Biplane of 1908 was the first pusher biplane designed and built by René Gasnier. Powered by a 50 hp Antoinette motor and featuring a distinctive front elevator that could also be tilted to work as a rudder. This machine was damaged on its first day of flight.
Rene Gasnier said, “We are like children compared with the Wrights”.
Gashulyak G-1
A single-seat helicopter powered by Irbit two-cylinder motorcycle engine, from the spring of 1961. The aircraft is said to have gone into production for flying clubs following successful tests at Kirovograd in the Ukraine.
Gary / Non-Capsizable Aeroplane Flying Barrel / Hoople
The “Flying Barrel” is the plane designed by William Pierce Gary and his Non-Capsizable Aeroplane Co.
It went through various evolution stages, from 1909 to 1913. With and without side winglets.
Apparently nicknamed “Hoople” because of its resemblance to a hoop.
It was destroyed when nosing over in a severe ground loop, as could be anticipated from such a design.
Garuda Flugzeug- und Propellerbau S.11 Möwe
In 1913 the Garuda Flugzeug- und Propellerbau GmbH in Berlin-Neukölln built two monoplanes, inspired by the Geest monoplanes. One was powered by a 100 hp Argus engine and the other, shown at the ALA Berlin, was the quite different Militärtype H.12 Möwe.
