This monoplane rolled out in July 1911 and was much modified in August; since it was tested at St Cyr and was powered by a 60 hp Aviatik engine, it was most likely built by Louis Clement. The long fuselage of inverted U cross-section was uncovered at the rear; ailerons were fitted at the trailing edges of the wing, and a split pair of elevator control surfaces were set on either side of the single forward landing gear wheel. The feature of the design was a pair of propellers mounted on either side of the fuselage with another engine set crossways between them; the plan was apparently to produce sideways motion.
