Educated at the Carnot Lyceum in France, Tenaud came to Lima with Paulet, to collaborate on his project for the school. The construction of the first Peruvian monoplane in 1908 was a 36-foot monoplane, carried out by Peruvian engineer Carlos Tenaud Pomar, at the School of Arts and Trades.

Tellier

Alphonse Tellier Article

Motorboat builder Alphonse Tellier (one of his craft towed Voisin’s float glider in 1905) built his first aircraft, for Emile Dubonnet, in 1909-1910, but went into liquidation in 1911. Re-formed upon outbreak of First World War, Tellier’s company built floats and hulls for other marine aircraft before flying prototype of T2 flying-boat in June 1916. This soon crashed, but with new funds from Dubonnet Tellier evolved the T3 two-seat bomber flying-boat of 1917 and its cannon-armed derivative, the TC6. Most were built by Nieuport and other manufacturers. Final products were the unsuccessful twin-engined T5 flying-boat and tri-motor T7. In August 1918 the company was absorbed by Nieuport, with Tellier as its marine aircraft designer.
