The second was probably little better than the first, though it was claimed to have flown at Juvisy in 1910. The long tapered fuselage was covered on the sides only halfway from the nose; a strange cruciform tail unit with a round rudder and triangular fin was supported at the aft end. The thick wings were much shorter than on the first design, and were set higher on the fuselage; each panel had a small kingpost at mid-span and was braced to the same bridge pylon as before. The elaborate 2-wheel undercarriage was of steel tube and fitted with long skids.
