Cluzan

   In 1909 Cluzan designed and flew this large biplane at Tours, on the banks of the Loire; it seemed like a hybrid Wright/Curtiss, with a monoplane forward elevator and tailplane, and 2 small triangular rudders underneath the latter. The pilot sat forward of the radiator of the 4-cylinder inline Rolan Pilain engine. Completed on 27 November, the Cluzan had broken one of its wings by 17 December.
