2 unusual facts about Głowiński monoplane


Głowiński monoplane

Modelled superficially after the French Blériot XI, Głowiński's design differed from that aircraft most significantly in using a frame of welded steel tube rather than wood, and that an engine was mounted higher.

Głowiński was a student of an Engineering School in Lwów, and he built his plane in his brother's workshop in Ternopil (then: Polish city under Austrian rule).
