Built by Sexton of Cicero IL., USA, in 1911. It was a single-place open cockpit, parasol monoplane. The aircraft featured a cantilever wing with underslung ailerons and open-frame fuselage.
Apparently, it flew only once but with dog as passenger.

SFCA Peyret Taupin / Le Taupin / Lignel 44 / Peyret VI Taupin
Societe Francaise De Constructions Aeronautiques / SFCA had license for Peyret “tandem monoplane” renamed and developed as Taupin.
The 1930 Taupin was essentially an enlarged, powered derivative of the Alérion glider. 2-seat tandem-wing.
The wing span was recorded as 7.2m but Sailplane & Glider 31 Mar 1933 says 8.4m main and 6.5m rear wing spans.
Engine: 1 x 50hp Beaussier
Also flown with 30 hp ABC Scorpion horiz-opposed 2-cylinder
The SFCA-Peyret Taupin, aka “Le Taupin” (flown 1937) was an amateur-construction Peyret VI with 1 x 30 hp flat-2 cylinder Mengin 2 A1.
A two-seat version appeared in 1937as the “Cinq-demi Taupin”, known as the Lignel 44.

SFCA Peyret Lignel 46 Coach
The Lignel 46 Coach, produced by the Societe Francaise de Constructions Aeronautiques, is a four-seat cabin monoplane powered by a 180 hp Mathis 8G-20 engine. Built only in prototype form, the Coach has taken first place in a number of European rallies. It employs a composite bonded material known as Brodeau-Lignel in its construction, and dual controls are provided.
The sides of the canopy hinge forward for access and can be jettisoned in an emergency.

Schneider Henri-Paul S.3
The Schneider Henri-Paul four-seater night bomber was built at Schneider’s Harfleur plant in France. A four-engine biplane with sails supported on steel spars and a grid of aluminum alloy ribs. Equal span, the wings had a central rectangular section and external panels in an arrow. The fuselage was formed by a beam of dural tubes 55 mm in diameter assembled by riveted steel fittings. The front part of the fuselage received a metallic coating, the rear part being simply covered, supporting a fabric empennage. The engines were mounted in pairs on each side of the fuselage, installed in tandem in interplanetary pods, driving four blade propellers of 3.60 m in diameter.
This aircraft made its first flight in September 1922 on the Le Havre-Bléville1 site. It was exhibited at the Grand Palais at the 8th Aviation Show in December 1922, but the program for which it was built had been abandoned.

Schnädelbach-Berner 1909 Flugmaschine
The first Flugmaschine in Sachsen, Germany, in 1909. It was a mixed version of a Schwingenflieger and a Gleitflieger, as the wings could flap but there were also two (tandem) wings fitted above the open fuselage. The elevator in the front was an ‘all-flying’ construction and the rudder is at the back. Total wing area is 40,10 square meter. The engine of 10 hp (due to be upgraded to 25 hp) drove the propeller at the front of the fuselage. Total weight (empty) of the machine is 335 kg, span is 9 meter and length 7 meter. Height is 2,20 meter.
There are contradictory accounts as to its flying success.

Schmitt Monoplane / Biplane
Designed by Etienne Dormoy and brought from France to the USA by Maximilian Schmid, this fully monocoque fuselage design was first of its kind in USA. Built for competitions, it won the $1,000 NY Times Race on 4 July 1914 at Governor’s Island NY (piloted by Harold Kantner), as well as several more subsequent races.
It was then converted into a biplane with a 100hp LeRhône for military trials at North Island, San Diego. It and three other entrants were rejected for not meeting certain requirements specified by the Army.
