Georges de Feure was a French painter. The name is a pseudonym, it seems, for his real name Georges Joseph van Sluijters.[1] He was an aero inventor in collaboration with Armand-Jean-Auguste Deperdussin and Louis Béchereau.[2] This is the same location we have when he filed as a single individual.[3]

While the three individuals filed collaboratively on Patent FR-1910-417175‎, Armand-Jean-Auguste Deperdussin filed Patent FR-1911-417175.14228‎ on his own.

He also engaged in three way collaboration, the other two contributors being Armand-Jean-Auguste Deperdussin and Louis Béchereau.[4][5]

French Wikipedia says approximately this: In 1909 he co-founded De Feure & Deperdussin (DFD & Cie), a building construction company. He partnered with Armand Deperdussin also to make monoplanes with inverted retro-propulsion. Deperdussin dismissed him because of a scandal, not clearly specified. Two models came out of the workshops, the DFD1 and the DFD2, the design of which involved Louis Béchereau. During the first tests, at the end of 1910, Georges de Feure had a serious accident, and he withdrew from the business.
