Blériot XI was one of the first monoplanes in the world, and of course that early fighter was ahead it's time. The materials, what was used in this plane were wood and canvas, what made it very easy to produce. Junkers J-1 was the first all-metal monoplane in the world, but Blériot XI was one flown its maiden flight in 1909, and that plane was absolutely incredible, but when the WWI began, it would become too slow. And this story is the thing, what I heard someday a long time ago, and I don't know if this true, but it would be easy to make by using technology, what was available in that time. The radio waves could be targeted by using a metal tube, what would cover the transmitter. This is the tale about the mast, what purpose is to keep the wings straight during the flight.
But the tale tells something incredible, that this mast was planned to use as the weapon, what was actually the "lightning conductor". The man behind this idea was probably Nikola Tesla, but there were many other persons, who worked with electromagnetism. This "lightning conductor" would work that Blériot pulled metal banderol during the flight. The other radio wave would be targeted to that metal banderol, where the wire would pull in the mas, and then the other radio wave would be targeted to the Zeppelin airships, and this system would work, that the Blériot would fly below Zeppelins, and then the lightning would strike to the airship, what would be terminated by the lightning.
This is one version of the Tesla's "death ray", and in some ideas, the propel would be equipped with the radio, what would bag the Zeppelin with other polar electricity, and then the other wire would be connected to the mast, what would be on the wing or upwards, and if the radio-transmissions would be in the same frequency and happen at the same time would that pump extreme heat to the target in the form of the electric arc. This kind of stories has been told in many planes in the early age of the aviation. Sometimes people wonder, why that electric system was not used in the Second World War fighters because this system would cause extreme heat to the metal target.
When we are talking about this kind of tales, we cannot be sure are they real. But in fact, we can say, that Nikola Tesla was a very extraordinary person, who worked with electromagnetism. He made many interesting inventions, and one of them was "death ray". This inventor and genius have a museum in Belgrad, Serbia, and the most remarkable invention, what this man made was an induction motor. That is a very usual motor in many places, where is used the electric motors. Many people don't know that those motors can also work as the generators. And this is the thing, why they are so popular. Every Tesla's invention is conducted with electricity and electromagnetism. And if that man was not Serb, would he be so well known and iconic person as Thomas Edison.
