The 1909 Grandjean monoplane was designed and built by Rene Grandjean in Switzerland.
In December 1911 René Grandjean was invited at Davos to fly and here he got the idea to build a ski undercarriage. On 2 February 1912 he made the first take off and landing on skis in Switzerland. His self-built Blériot-like plane was powered by an opposed four-cylinder Oerlikon engine.
Constructed by engineer Einar Lilloe Gran, the first motorised airplane in Norway had a wing span of 10 meters and cost 12,000 kroner to build. Powered by a 30 hp 2-cylinder Darracq motor, the monoplane was originally put on display in Oslo during March 1910, and then taken to Ringerike where several attempts to get the machine airborne were made, but without any significant results.
The 1913 Gramaticescu monoplane was designed by G. Gramaticescu (who died before the plane was finished) in Romania, and built by M. Herbster in France.

In 1988 two homebuilders from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, attended the EAA Fly-in with their replica fighters. Ross Grady had his P-40 and Bob Tessori had his Regianne 2002.
Grady intended to build a replica that could be mistaken for the real thing. He was selling plans in 1988 for $400.

At the 1912 Allgemeine Luftfahrzeug-Ausstellung in Berlin, Hans Grade displayed two new monoplanes, with a “normal” fuselage, egg-shaped and tapering into a flat tail, instead the usual gondolas of his previous airplanes. One was a “Renneindecker”, identified as the D type, and the other was the bigger “Militäreindecker” with a 60/90 hp Grade engine, type E.
