De Havilland Dragon

The de Havilland Dragon was an early, single-engine biplane designed in the 1920s primarily for passenger and mail transport. It features two main wings stacked vertically, providing stability and lift. Its design made it suitable for short flights and regional services, especially in challenging terrains. The Dragon's reliability and versatility helped establish de Havilland as a prominent aircraft manufacturer. While not a revolutionary design, it was an important step in commercial aviation development, combining practicality with efficient performance during the early years of flight expansion.
