This monoplane-like kite of Barlatier and Blanc (France) was powered by a small engine (1.25 to 2.25 hp) driving two tractor propellers. It was a proof-of-concept model for a planned bigger machine, and was tested in the spring of 1906, showing “remarkable stability”.
The designers and builders were M. Barlatier, president of the Automobile-Club de Marseille and M. Blanc, a lawyer.
Very little is known about this French Voisin-like biplane, powered by a 50 hp Anzani engine weighing 120 kg in running order and equipped with a Chauvière propeller and Bergougnan tyres. It was perhaps flown by Louis Cottereau Jr, probably son of the Dijon car manufacturer and bicycle racer of the same name. There is no solid evidence for the “Barkers” ID of this machine, which is only known from a single postcard, only circumstantial indications.

A pusher biplane designed and built by Felix Balzer in Gommern, Germany, in 1910. The engine was a 25 hp Anzani, which didn’t give enough power to make it leave the ground. Another lighter “Apparat” was projected, but nothing more is known.
Designed by Anton Baltes from Düsseldorf, Germany.
