De Coster
Charles de Coster's monoplane Flugi was shown at the 1910 Salon before it had been tested, and little was said about it afterward. It was a rough copy of the Bleriot XI, differing mostly in the arrangement of the outer undercarriage struts; and in the fuselage, which was triangular and uncovered, forward, and triangular and uncovered aft. The engine was a small 3-cylinder half-radial with a 2-blade Flugi-de Coster propeller.
The Spanish Villa-Nueva of the Quatro Vientos Museum is very similar to this machine.
