Here is a picture of an impressive four-engined Voisin triplane from the first war. Any idea about its designation?

This is the Voisin E.28 Four-seat heavy bomber with four 220hp H.-S. 8Bc Engines.

Davilla & Soltan's 'French Aircraft of the First World War' states the Voisin E.87 was never built, but was developed into the Voisin 12, shown in Stéphane's picture.

Hi,


the more interested aircraft,was the Type O,which powered by two engines fore
and aft of the nacelle (push and pull),but unfortunately I have a picture or drawing
for it.
 
Hi,


here is a project for Voisin of 1906.for single engine driven two propellers aircraft.

That is a Filiasi, built by the atelier Voisin.
Filiasi was a Marquis, founder of the France Aeroclub in 1905.
Once I saw a photo of this Filiasi, but I do not remember where.
It was in some Italian book, I think.
We have photos of a later 1910 filiasi hydroplane in Naples, but i don't know if it was only a scale model

The Voisin Triplanes were large experimental bombers built by Voisin in 1915 and 1916.
After unsuccessful trials of the 1915 prototype a modified version with more powerful engines was built in 1916, as the Voisin E.28, but the type did not enter production.

1915 model. Nose landing gear shape is impressive. I can't find three side view of this model.

Hi! Voisin E28.
In 1916, Gabriel Voisin returned to the idea of a triplane bomber and built a machine called Voisin E.28. During the construction was used wing from the first tripplan (it was only slightly shortened). But the rest of the structure was heavily redesigned.

The new bomber became a two-hull, with the hulls located vertically, the second thin body (actually - a power beam, which allowed to greatly facilitate the design due to much better work of the resulting "frame" on the longvertical vertical bend), connects the upper wing with vertical plumage. But it is not just a power beam, there is also a "crow's nest" with a machine gunner, protecting the car from attacks from behind and from above.

The four hispano-Suiza 8Bc air cooling(?) motors, which are paired (pulling and pushing screws, respectively) on the second wing, had unique characteristics for their time. At a capacity of 220 hp - they had a mass of about 200 kg, i.e., a specific mass less than a kilogram per horsepower.

Interesting was the design of the chassis - the six wheels of the main chassis had an individual suspension - they took on the entire load, the front wheel performed only anti-hood functions - that is, the car at acceleration should not have "raised the tail", it was already in a flight position. However, this is typical for all Aircraft ToUazen.

The Voisin E.28's design weapon consisted of a hotchkiss bow 37 mm cannon and two defensive machine guns on a movable turret. During the tests, as far as is known, the gun was never mounted.

Despite all the interesting decisions of The New Bomber Was even more slow than his older brother and of course he did not fit the military. Tests of the aircraft continued until 1919, and then on its base was developed passenger aircraft for 12 seats.

I would guess that these are the same engines, but cowled. The cowlings were probably removed due to overheating, and the radiator arrangement changed for the same reason . . .

cheers,
Robin.
 
Those radiators are probably for cooling engine oil.
 
The Voisin Triplane was a large experimental bomber built by Voisin.The first model was designing and produced in 39 days, presentation in August 1915 before the French high military, and was fitted with four Salmson radial engines of 150 hp / 110 kW each. The four engines were mounted in tandem pairs in two nacelles on the centre wing. Not only did it have three wings, but also two fuselages, the upper one affording an air gunner a near 360-degree field of fire. Two gun positions were provided, one the nose and second behind the trailing edge of the wings, firing downwards through an aperture in the fuselage. The tail surfaces being supported between the fuselage and an upper boom attached to the centre section of the upper wing.

Hi! Voisin Icare Aero-Yacht.
In 1912, the Brothers Voisin (Gabriel and Charles Voisin) received an order from the oil tycoon and admirer of aviation Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe to create a "flying yacht". Gabriel Voyazand and Maurice Colliex were involved in the development of the project. In the same year, the Appareils d'Aviation les Fr'res Voisin brothers built a seven-seater four-seater biplane with a 200 hp Clerget engine.

The first flight of the seaplane, named Voisin Icare, took place on November 23, 1912, with six people on board. The Aeroyacht was similar to the 1907 Voisin biplane, but has been enlarged in size. The frame of steel pipes, the engine stood in the boat (based on the ricochet motor boat) and through the chain drive rotated the four-bladed (in fact it was two conventional two-bladed propellers). The six-wheeled chassis is kind of like a temporary phenomenon, only for the first tests of the aircraft.

To emphasize a hundred aircraft really multipurpose developers have provided the possibility of installing two machine guns or two mitrales with an amunica.

I wonder whether this is conflating two different projects. AFAIK, there was was a Voisin hydroaérobus Icare of 1912,
and there were two Aéroyacht machines by Borel: the "Borel Aeroyacht type Denhaut I" and "type Denhaut II", both sesquiplane flying boats of 1913.
