About: Canadian Vickers Vedette

An Entity of Type: mean of transportation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Canadian Vickers Vedette was the first aircraft designed and built in Canada to meet a specification for Canadian conditions. It was a single-engine biplane flying boat purchased to meet a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) demand for a smaller aircraft than the Vickers Viking with a much greater rate of climb, to be suitable for forestry survey and fire protection work. The type went on to have a long and distinguished career in civil operations in Canada. Most of the topographical maps in use in Canada today are based on photos taken from these aircraft.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Canadian Vickers Vedette („Vorposten“) war ein als Doppeldecker ausgelegtes Flugboot des kanadischen Herstellers Canadian Vickers. Sie war das erste in Kanada entworfene und gebaute Flugzeug und entsprach den besonderen Bedingungen des Landes. Die Vedette entstand im Auftrag der Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) als kleineres Gegenstück zur Vickers Viking, um vorwiegend im Waldschutz eingesetzt zu werden. Die meisten topografischen Karten des Landes basieren auf Fotografien, die mit einem dieser Flugzeuge aufgenommen wurden. (de)
