Moreau, Jules Albert & André

Circa 1908-1909 the Moreau brothers’ (Albert and André) built a relatively large model, with a wing area of two square metres, made flights of up to 1500 metres when tested in the Jura mountains. It was intended for verifying the Moreau brothers’ (Albert and André) theories about control systems, which were later put to practice in their “Aérostable” machines of 1912-1914.

The machine had automatic pitch control by the weight of the pilot and his nacelle, which were pendulum suspended and operated the elevators via levers and rods.
