Requillard 1910 monoplane

Requillard’s monoplane made its official appearance at Juvisy, France, in June 1910, flown by Marc Pourpe. The machine was very slender and streamlined, with long and triangular fixed tail surfaces, the rudder in two parts connected at the trailing edges to allow the elevator to move up and down between them. It was powered by a 50 hp Gnome. It was reported to have flipped onto its back on its first tests.
