EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Experimental Tandem Biplane On Potomac Embodying Langley Principles, 1917," showcases an innovative aviation achievement during the early 1900s. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a tandem biplane resting on the banks of the Potomac River. The aircraft, an embodiment of Samuel Pierpont Langley's groundbreaking research, is a testament to the rapid advancements in aviation technology during this era. Samuel Pierpont Langley, a renowned scientist and the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, was a pioneer in the field of aviation. His relentless pursuit of flight led him to design and build several experimental aircraft. The tandem biplane in this photograph is one such creation, reflecting his pioneering principles. The biplane, with its distinctive design, is seen here undergoing testing on the Potomac River. The tandem configuration, with the pilot and passenger seated in separate cockpits, offered improved visibility and control. The biplane's wings, positioned one above the other, created an efficient airflow and enhanced lift, making it a significant advancement in aviation technology. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, captures a pivotal moment in aviation history. It stands as a reminder of the relentless research and development efforts that transformed the dream of flight into a reality. The image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable heritage artifact that continues to inspire and fascinate generations.
