 1915 – French pilot – Roland Garros ◦ Mounted an automatic rifle on aircraft ◦ Fired through the propeller ◦ To keep from shooting off propeller, the rear of the propeller was armored with steel plates

 Mission:  What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air?  Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers.  What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft?  Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns?  Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.  EQ: Describe significant aviation events occurring between and their impact on future aviation development.

 Germans captured Garros and his plane  Dutch – airplane designer – Anthony Fokker improved on design  Fokker designed a machine gun that fired through a spinning propeller  This gave Germans total control over the skies for over a year

 Mission:  What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air?  Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers.  What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft?  Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns?  Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.  EQ: Describe significant aviation events occurring between and their impact on future aviation development.

 Allies tried to mount a gun to the top of the wing but was ineffective due to increased drag

The Wing-Mounted Gun Solution: Fire above the path of the propeller: Fitted with either drum or clip ammunition feed systems Two issues: Unreliable and prone to jamming difficult task of reloading ammunition or clearing a round from a jammed gun while flying
