Fabre, 1910, Henri Fabre - hydro-aéroplane
A short blurb under "Features of the Paris Show", taken from "The Aero", London:
HENRI FABRE. M. Fabre, with whom Paulhan has collaborated in the designs of his machine, shows a couple of hydro-aeroplanes built according to his theories. These are, however, monoplanes with the small plane leading and a little elevator over the top Each of the main wings of the leading plane. has a mast about a third of its length from the inner end, and at the foot of each mast is a float. The front planes also have a float under the mast which carries them both, consequently while on the water there is a three-point suspension. Fabre has found from experience that no vertical rudder is necessary, for the endless V's in so the whole plane is swung round its mast horizontally. That the whole scheme is practical is shown by the fact that on many occasions the machine has flown between ten and fifteen kilo- metres over the mouth of the Rhône without what the chargé d'affaires at the stand calls un ammerissage—a "sea-landing."
