In 1906, Blanc and Barlatier conceived, without success, the first single-seater monoplane with wings inspired by the bat. The kite was pulled by two propellers driven by a central engine of 14 hp Buchet.
Designed and built by Barlatier and Blanc in 1907-8, only one was built, tested at the camp Le Rouet near Marseille, France.
