EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Experimental Tandem Biplane On Potomac Embodying Langley Principles, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in the history of aviation. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases an experimental tandem biplane gliding gracefully over the serene waters of the Potomac River. The biplane, with its distinctive elongated fuselage and two sets of wings, embodies the innovative principles of Samuel Pierpont Langley, the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institute and a pioneering figure in American aviation. Langley's research and development in aerodynamics and aviation technology greatly influenced the design of this experimental aircraft. The biplane's tandem seating arrangement allowed for better pilot visibility and improved overall flight performance. The photograph, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the exciting world of early aviation research and the groundbreaking advancements that transformed air transport in the 20th century.
