De Monge/Buscaylet Experimental Aircraft
Louis de Monge was a propeller designer for the Societe Anonyme des Etablissements Lumiere.
In 1914 De Monge built an experimental monoplane that was entered in the concours securite. This was a competition which called for the designers to create an plane that was as safe as possible. De Monge's design utilized a wing with elastic attachments which enabled it to flex under the air flow and to retreat from wind gusts from the side. Springs were used to automatically return the wing to its normal position. It retained the standard Deperdussin fin and rudder. Control was by wing warping. The undercarriage had paired main wheels with a large skid ahead ol the main undercarriage (to reduce the risk of nosing over on landing) and a rear skid.
