Roe III Triplane

Type of aircraft

Overview

The Roe III Triplane was an early aircraft designed by the British aircraft manufacturer Avro. In configuration, it was similar to the Roe II Triplane, with a triplane tailplane and an open-top fuselage of triangular cross-section, but the Roe III was a two-seater, and featured ailerons for the first time in a Roe design. The five production machines differed from the prototype in having the ailerons fitted to the middle wing and in being powered by a Green engine in place of the prototype's JAP.
