Curtiss Wins International Aviation Cup at Rheims
Glenn H Curtiss captures the International Aviation Cup at Rheims after a rapid European debut. He built an eight-cylinder water cooled engine and a 226 square foot biplane, achieving a world speed record of 8 minutes 32 2 5 seconds for the circuit and securing American renown in aerial circles. His machine, nearly duplicating his Mineola design, weighs 700 pounds ready to fly and uses a 60 horsepower motor with 280 pounds thrust. He faced late preparations but impressed juries and aviators alike.
