EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Mathis G.8R aircraft on display at the XVIIIeme Salon Aeronautique du Paris 1949, held at the Grand Palais in central Paris. The Salon Aeronautique was a prestigious annual aviation exhibition that showcased the latest advancements in aviation technology. In this image, the Mathis G.8R, a variant of the original model, is prominently displayed at the Grand Palais. The Mathis G.8R is a single-engine, single-seat monoplane with a unique inverted air-cooled engine, featuring a cooling fan for efficient cooling in a pusher installation. This design was similar to that of the SECAN Courlis, which also utilized a pusher configuration for its engine. The inverted engine configuration allowed for better aerodynamics and improved cooling, making it an innovative solution for the time. Flying demonstrations of the Mathis G.8R and other aircraft took place at Orly Airport during the Salon Aeronautique, providing attendees with an exciting opportunity to witness the capabilities of these advanced machines firsthand. The Mathis G.8R, with its sleek design and powerful engine, was a standout among the other aircraft on display, showcasing the cutting-edge technology that was driving the aviation industry forward in the late 1940s. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of aviation history, capturing the Mathis G.8R in its prime at one of the most prestigious aviation exhibitions of the era. With its innovative engine design and impressive performance, the Mathis G.8R remains an intriguing and important chapter in the story of aviation development.
