Just under 1,000 were in operation on every front at the end of September 1917. Armament comprised the standard 7.92mm guns, one fixed forward-firing and one mounted in the rear cockpit, plus light bombs.

The Dynamic wings were designed by DTA and Jean Marc Rousellet and are manufactured exclusively for DTA by the Ellipse company in France.
The Dynamic 503 16 is based on a stainless steel spaceframe. This trike has an articulated monopole under the seat for easy rigging of the wing, which is a Dynamic 16 produced by llipse on the company’s behalf.
The Dynamic 582 Feeling is a higher performance version of the 16. The same structure is fitted with a Rotax 582, a fairing and smaller Dynamic 15 wing. A four stroke 912 is an option.
They feature individual composite seas.

The Voyageur 912 XP15 is a large trike with a topless wing, designed for aerial work or long rallies. It features individual composite seats.
The basic design is an aluminum sandwich with extra reinforcing structure. It also has a safety cable running through the sandwich. The sandwich is riveted and also bonded with aeronautical Araldite structural epoxy.
The Voyageur 912 was created for this purpose and became the first trike to be fitted with the 4-stroke 80HP Rotax 912 engine.
With the available option of the Voyageur-II’s cantilever mast, this machine can be flown with no front strut, just like its big brother.
The Voyageur II trike features a cantilever mast that is structurally strong enough to eliminate the need for the standard front tube. The basic design is an aluminum sandwich with extra reinforcing structure. It also has a safety cable running through the sandwich. The sandwich is riveted and also bonded with aeronautical Araldite structural epoxy.
The Voyageur trike utilizes only 4130 chromoly steel, a primarily stainless steel frame and aircraft grade aluminium, and is made in France.
Features that come standard on the Voyageur II include:
Full front and rear shock absorbers (rear gas shocks)
3-wheel brakes with parking brake
Cruise throttle
Large aviation tires
Padded seat covers
Rear seat head rest
Side luggage bags
Large capacity fuel tank with fuel level gauge
Instrument panel
RPM gauge, hourmeter, water temp gauge
Full electrical system

The Detroit Aeroplane Co. displayed a monoplane fitted with the company’s two-cylinder opposed 30 hp engine at the 1910 Philadelphia show, where it was “the hit of the show”. Two of them were sold, one to Atlantic City, where a training school is to be started next summer. It had a main plane with a span of 30 ft and an area 150 sq. ft. Stability was achieved by an arrangement where “the extremities of the wings sections have been cut out and hinged to the rear lateral beam. These float in the air stream in flight, being depressed individually through their attachment to the steering column”, i.e. ailerons… The fuselage was a single seamless steel tube of large diameter, braced with wires over cruciform horizontal and vertical masts.
