The Roe I Triplane (often later referred to as the Avro Triplane) was an early aircraft the first all-British aircraft to fly (Roe's previous biplane had a French engine). It featured not only a triplane wing but a triplane tail as well. It was of extremely flimsy construction; financial hardship compelled Roe to use wood for structural elements where he would have preferred steel and the wings and fuselage were paper-covered.
