Saliger Rotary-Engined Fighter

  While working in the Flars construction section, Saliger proposed a Nieuport fighter derivative powered by a 160 hp Gnome rotary engine. The span was projected at 10 meters and the loaded weight was 680 kg. If lubricant for the Le Rhone rotary engine built by Steyr had been available, this particular project might have been realized.
