The Esnault-Pelterie R.E.P. 1 and the R.E.P. 2 were experimental aircraft built and flown in France in the early twentieth century by Robert Esnault-Pelterie. These aircraft are historically significant because they were the first to employ a joystick as their main flight control. R.E.P. 1The REP 1 was a single-seat tractor configuration monoplane powered by a {{convert|30|hp|kW|disp=flip|abbr=on}} seven-cylinder two-row semi-radial engine[1] driving a four-bladed propeller with aluminium blades rivetted to steel tubes. The fuselage was made largely of steel tubing covered in varnished silk and the wings of wood. An elongated triangular fixed horizontal stabiliser was mounted on top of the rear fuselage with a rectangular elevator mounted on the trailing edge, and a fixed fin and rudder were mounted under the fuselage. Lateral control was effected by wing-warping. The main landing gear consisted of a single centrally mounted wheel mounted on a pneumatic damper, with a small tailwheel mounted on the rudder. Large outrigger wheels were fitted to the tips of the wings, which featured marked anhedral.[2] Esnault-Pelterie began testing the R.E.P. 1 in September 1907, initially flying the aircraft as a glider before attempting powered flights. Throughout October, these flights became increasingly successful. The R.E.P. 1 is preserved at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. R.E.P. 2The R.E.P. 2 differed from the R.E.P. 1 in having a slightly different undercarriage (of the same general arrangement) in addition to a large ventral balanced rudder. Tests with the R.E.P. 2 commenced in June 1908, and on 8 June a flight of {{convert|1200|m|ft|abbr=on}} was made, reaching an altitude of 30 m (100 ft), setting a height and distance record for monoplanes.[3] The aircraft was then modified by the addition of a trapezoidal dorsal fin, to create the R.E.P. bis. In this form, piloted by M. Châteaux, it won the third Ae.C.F. prize for a flight of over 200 metres on 21 November 1908, with an officially observed flight of {{convert| 316|m|ft|abbr=on}}.[4] It was then exhibited at the Paris Aero Salon in December 1908 and at the Aero Show at Olympia in London in 1909. It was entered for the Grande Semaine d'Aviation in Reims in August 1909, but Esnault-Pelterie did not compete there owing to an injury to his hand.[5] Specifications (R.E.P. 1){{aerospecs| ref=l'Aérophile, October 1907, pp. 290-1 | met or eng?=met | crew=1 | capacity= | length m=6.85 | length ft=22 | length in=6 | span m=9.60 | span ft=31 | span in=6 | height m= | height ft= | height in= | wing area sqm=18.0 | wing area sqft=194 | empty weight kg=230 | empty weight lb= | gross weight kg=507 | gross weight lb= | eng1 number=1 | eng1 type=R.E.P. 7-cylinder two-row semi-radial piston engine | eng1 kw=22 | eng1 hp=30 | max speed kmh=60 | max speed mph=37 | max speed mach= | cruise speed kmh= | cruise speed mph= | range km= | range miles= | endurance h= | endurance min= | ceiling m= | ceiling ft= | glide ratio= | climb rate ms= | climb rate ftmin= | sink rate ms= | sink rate ftmin= }}{{aircontent | see also= | related= | similar aircraft= | lists= }} Notes1. ^{{cite web|last1=Pearce|first1=William|title=R.E.P/ Fan (Semi-Radial) Aircraft Engines|url=https://oldmachinepress.com/2014/09/04/r-e-p-fan-semi-radial-engines/|website=oldmachinepress.com|accessdate=17 May 2016}} 2. ^{{cite journal|journal=l'Aérophile|title=Les Premiers Assis Publics d'Aéroplane Esnault-Pelterie|date=October 1907 |page = 289|language =French|url=http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6551462k/f299.image|accessdate = 9 December 2013}} 3. ^{{cite journal|journal=l'Aérophile|language=French|title= Experiences de M.
