Florencie

   Florencie was the first to order an aeroplane from the Voisin firm after they had set up alone in 1906. He had invented an ornithopter, but had little idea of how to build it; it was a monoplane with roughly bird-shaped wings containing slatted shutters. A small forward elevator surface was matched with small horizontal and vertical tail surfaces in the rear. It was unsuccessfully tested hanging from a cable at Massy-Palaiseau, south of Paris.

   The second Florencie, probably designed by Gabriel Voisin and sometimes incorrectly reported as Florenty, was a tractor biplane with a 24 hp Antoinette motor. It was tested for the first time at Juvisy on 16 September 1909.
