Bénegent 1910 monoplane

The Bénegent tractor monoplane had a triangular-section fuselage made of welded steel tubing, with the pilot seated on top. It was powered by a horizontally opposed two-cylinder water-cooled engine designed and built by the self-educated Joseph-Désiré Bénégent. The plane was tested at Courneuve outside Paris in late 1910.
