Caudron designations

hi all

Hi,

the Caudron P.V.200 high wing pusher amphibian twin
float monoplane,and powered by one engine.

http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,395.msg18899/highlight,caudron+200.html#msg18899

Hi,

there is many aircraft and projects here;
http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9932.0/highlight,caudron+300.html

Also;
Type-K was a pusher float biplane of 1913
Type-M was a monoplane of 1912
C.91 a biplane transport
C.105 & C.106 long range aircraft with one 450hp Renault 12
C.187 biplane transport developed from C.183
C.260 tailless glider
C.790 two seat fighter/trainer
C.810 & C.811 gliders developed from C.800
C.850 three-seat racer aircraft with one 300hp Renault 6Q

I have recently been reading volume 1 of Andre Hauet's 'Les Avions Caudron'.

It has a number of additions to the types and designations list started by AM in the initial post.

Rather than post a number of disjointed posts I have taken the superb (MS Word) document from AM and updated it with notes in red, where applicable.

No doubt more updates will follow when I get round to read sections in detail.

Volume 1 detailed type information extends as far as the Caudron C.320 designation.

I remember now why I never contributed to this topic... There were just SO MANY additions I could provide that I never got round to doing it properly!

your new list is highly commendable, Cy-27, but I can add quite a few still, so stay tuned...

Just had a quick browse and edited your list in the form of a teaser (only the new designations, not the contents yet... I don't have access to all my archives yet, they're still in my old house...). All in all it's no less than 94 new designations if I'm not mistaken!

Thanks Stargazer!
Is there more information available on that Caudron C260- tailless glider?

My Caudron list is mostly based on the work above by AM, Cy-27, and Stargazer. There have been a few additions but, the main difference is, this list being in more searchable html format. Hopefully that will help get the juices flowing and Members will be able to fill in some of the gaps.

Caudron Aircraft Designations

The first official Société des avions Caudron aircraft designations were alphabetical Type designations beginning in 1910. These were followed (and interspersed) with alpha-numerical 'G' and 'R' series designations. It has been suggested that the 'G' series were thus called because they were primarily the design-work of Gaston Caudron, while the 'R' series designs are credited to René Caudron.

'G' and 'R' series designations are often shown with Roman numeral type numbers. I have shown both Roman and Arabic numerals for the 'G' series. (I believe Roman numerals to be the correct display but, in current literature, Arabic numerals have become more common). For the 'R' series, I have shown only Arabic numerals (Roman numerals were often shown in contemporary literature but not, it seems, by the company). I have also chosen to ignore the fairly common contemporary practice of applying Roman numerals to Caudron 'C' series designations.

The alpha-numerical 'C' series designations are associated with post-WWI Caudron aircraft. As a matter of style, I have stuck with a period between 'C' and type number (although hyphens are also often seen). In this list, I have included the Type 02 as the 'C.02' but it is debatable whether that 1917 fighter belongs in the alpha-numerical series at all.

The first incontestable 'C' series designation was for the C.21 multi-purpose biplane of 1917. Despite that, the C.17 designation was applied to a 2-seat sesquiplane design a full decade later. The simple explanation for this is that the C.17 was probably designated as such to match DB-17, the designation of this Descamps-Brunet design being licensed-built by Caudron.

As will be seen, the 'C' series designation do not represent a linear sequence of Caudron aircraft. Overall 'C' series designations jump around somewhat randomly and are sometimes re-applied several times. Nonetheless, the 'C' series can be traced from the C.21 to at least the C.940 (and possibly to the C.960). Caudron and its designers were nothing if not prolific!

By the early 1930s, Caudron was struggling financially. Chief engineer, Marcel Riffard had been producing an impressive series of light racing monoplanes powered by Renault engines and the head of Renault, François Lehideux, was eager for this to continue. A take-over was arranged and, on 01 July 1933, the Société des avions Caudron became Caudron-Renault - or, more properly, the Société anonyme des avions Caudron. Initially, at least, the use of 'C' series designations was continued at Caudron-Renault. 'CR' prefixes appear later in the literature but most seem to be post-WW2 efforts to rationalize Caudron designations.

The first design to routinely carry the 'CR' prefix seems to be the CR.760, a Isotta-Fraschini Delta-powered extrapolation of the C.714 light fighter. For (perhaps abitrary) continuity, I have listed 'CR' types first as 'C' designations.

So, first up, anomalies and early Caudron designations. The 'C' series designations will follow. As always, corrections and additions gratefully received

Please my dear Apophenia add those aircraft,and also from Les Avions
Caudron Renault,you could find the missing designations here,and for
C.700,you can consider it a first use of this series.

FYI:

R4 was at first a two-seat two engines bomber; it was a fail. Later R4 will be an A3 escort fighter with success
R5 was also a bomber. one or two prototypes. fail

Thank you for the Info Flamel.

From TU 193,

Robert Espérou communicated to us an amusing article published in
"Lectures pour tous" of April 1923. This article recounts the imaginary
journey of Mr Georges Barthélémy, delegate of Sudan and from Haute-
Voita to the Conseil Supérieur des Colonies ... from Paris to Tombouctou
aboard a Caudron C-78 aircraft designed by engineer Deville. The aircraft
is a three-engined biplane (3X300 hp in line) of 156m2 of surface: 26m
of wingspan; 16.40m long and 6.30m high PV: 4100kg and PT 7300kg.
It carries 2600kg of gasoline and can fly 13 hours at 180 km/h average.
The crew was to include, in addition to Mr Barthélémy, Lieutenant Loste (pilot) and Engineer Biche.

Non-existent aircraft invented by the Deputy Barthelémy for his lecture as a means to show the advantages of fast aerial transport between France and its colonies.

We can't judge on that,and TU magazine knows more than us.

With the word "imaginary" in the quote you posted I think we can more than safely assume that.
An "amusing" article with an "imaginary" journey is not a technical report, its just a means to illustrate the point. He probably should have used a made up name to make his point clearer.

Maybe the journey was from his imagination,but the design was right.

No. As the linked book says, "in reality, the airplane, as well as the infrastructure (mentioned in the article) existed only in the imagination of a parliamentarian in need of publicity (i.e. Barthélemy)".

From TU 205,

During the Occupation a variant of C-510, called C-511, would have
been envisaged with evolutions of guy and landing gear.

To French-speaking members: I understood haubanage to mean rigging (whence 'guy'). But the C.510 Pélican really didn't have any rigging wires. Could "des évolutions de haubanage ..." actually be referring to wing struts?

BTW, a few updates/additions have been made - mainly to the Rafale and Super Rafale series.

In aircraft construction, hauban does not refer only to cables, but also to metallic tubes.
(wikipedia: "Les haubans peuvent être réalisés en câbles métalliques tendus (SPAD S.VII par exemple) ou en structure métallique creuse (Twin Otter par exemple). "

And the C.510 Pélican had loads of those.

From TU 205,

Initially the CR-760 was to receive a Renault 626 engine, derived from the 12R-01,
and developing 800 hp at 4000 m.It will be an Isotta-Fraschini Delta of 730
ch which will eventually be installed as the 626 was not ready and Renault had
acquired the license of the Isotta-Fraschini Delta and Zeta.
This is the third cell in the CR-760 that received the one and only flight 626 thus
becoming CR-770. Unfortunately the engine broke after 10 minutes of
flight and Delmotte manages to bring the aircraft back. Some Eagle modified
in driving interior would have borne the designation C-613, but unofficially.

What was this ?,I think it was not misprint as C.713,because the 713 was
mentioned in the article before it by a few sentences ?!.

Here it's.

I think the writer skipped from one topic to the other, only without proper paragraph spacing.
Topic 1 is the CR-760 re-engined and renamed CR-770.
Topic 2 is some C-600/601/etc Aiglons being converted to enclosed cockpit, and unofficially renamed C-613.

From TU 205,

a small Info about C.550 Project.

From TU 205,

dear Apophenia,please add C.637 & C.638 Projects.

From TU 205,

a small Info about C.880 & C.850.

hesham said:

Click to expand...

There is a deal of confusion over the C.850 ... probably because that designation was re-used so many times.

The C.850 Mésange was, of course, a planned postwar French copy of the prewar German DFS Olympia Meise sailplane. Note that both Meise and Mésange translate as Tit or Titmouse.

In their Histoire du vol à voile français (Cépaduès, Toulouse, 1992), Reginald and Anne Jouhaud say that Caudron was originally tapped to provide French-built Olympia Meise (with orders for 210 later reduced to 100). Instead, it was later decided shift the contract to SNCAN - resulting in Nord 2000 Norplane production.

So, what is Trait d'Union talking about here? They seem to be proposing a motoplaneur development of the unbuilt C.850 Mésange sailplane. The designation C.850 was also applied to a built motoplaneur ... but that motor-glider was based on the C.800 Épervier airframe. Perhaps TU has simply muddled their Caudron designations?

From TU 292,

what was those ?.

The translation;

In L'Air 516 of March 1942, we
find an article on gliders put in
construction at the time and in particular,
Caudron gliders:

Following the establishment of the company's Glider Department, headed by Raymond Jarlaud, a work program was drawn up on the basis of a
range made up of five devices:

- Two-seater school and training glider

- Single-seat training glider

- High performance single-seater glider

- Performance single-seater glider

- Performance two-seater glider

The Caudron C.800 corresponded to
Category 1, C.810 to Category 2 and
the C.820 to category 3. At the time of
article, the other two categories had not yet materialized in a project.
