Prof. Dr. Hans Reißner built this canard in the experimental workshop of Junkers that was connected to the “Technische Hochschule Aachen”.

First flying on 23 May, 1912, in second form after having been rebuilt (in the third form, it got four fins under the mainplane).

According to G. Schmitt several versions were built and also flown. The Swiss Robert Gesell presented the machine over a few weeks in Johannisthal at the end of 1912.

The second machine of Percival H. Reid of Monreal, powered by a 55 hp 5-cylinder Viale radial engine, 29 feet long, with a 32 foot span. The machine was quite successful and was flown numerous times in 1912 by Reid and by Ernest Anctil, who assisted in its construction.

This two-seater monoplane was built by Hermann Reichelt in 1912 in Leipzig and was powered by a 50 hp Argus engine. The machine was intended for training purposes and it got an additional two front wheels later.

This was the first motorized aeroplane built by Hermann Reichelt in Dresden, Germany, who had previously experimented with gliders. He based the 1910 design on the famous Blériot monoplane but added some self-developed features, for example the unique split wing tips. The 16 hp two-cylinder engine was sponsored by the Gruhl motorcycle company. Ing. Gruhl and Hermann Reichelt can be seen in the foreground of the photograph. Take-off attempts with the underpowered monoplane failed.

Based on the Bleriot XI, and designed in 1910 by Russian Nikolai Vasilyevich Rebikov, the Rossia B (Pуссиа Б) was built by the Shchetinin works in St. Petersburg, Russia.

In 1909 the Argentinian Christian Rasmussen built a parasol monoplane with a large metal skeleton made up from arcs. It was fitted with a 50 hp Gnome located at the rear. The machine did not fly.

Constructed by the RAS Aeroplane Co, at Grange Airfield, Gosport, Hants, UK, around 1909/1910, the framework was of brazed cycle tubing.

The name RAS came from the initials of the three London men who were responsible for the flying machine: Mr Reader, a barman; Mr Allen, a bricklayer; and Mr Sheffield, a chauffeur. Constructed by Vic Hutfield, the aircraft made several flights with a 24 hp or 35 hp Lascelles engine.

For many years it hung in a workshop roof in Gosport until sold, and was last seen on a lorry heading for London.
