The first biplane built by Louis Paulhan in September/October 1910 [not February 1911 as given by Opdycke] in association with Henri Fabre. This explains the Fabre like wing construction. It was a big pusher with elevator in front and huge skids, powered by a 50 hp Gnome rotary engine. A later version of the biplane, featuring ‘conventional’ wooden spars, was notable for it being able to be re-configured, so that it could be towed on a road behind a car, and also to be demountable so that all its parts could be fitted into packing crates.
