The Ellehammer triplane was a pioneering aircraft built in Denmark in 1907. Unlike Ellehammer’s semi-biplane of the previous year this (otherwise unnamed) triplane was capable of making free untethered flights. The aircraft featured three sets of triangular wings attached to an open tubular framework. The upper set was one continuous-span but the lower sets were split and attached either side of the frame. A horizontal stabiliser was fitted aft of the frame.
