Taddéoli La Mouette
Émile Taddéoli’s Gnôme-engined, Voisin-inspired canard float biplane “Mouette” was designed by his mechanic Prampolini and built at the Perrot & Cie workshop. It flew 80 meters during the first test flight on Lac Léman in March 1912, but sunk when landing, as the main floats got submerged instead of skimming the surface. After that, the project was abandoned.
