Dinoird
Dinoird was one of the amateurs inspired by the success of Louis Breguet on the airfield of La Brayelle near Douai in northern France. He first built an unsuccessful biplane in 1910, and by the end of the following year had nearly completed an Antoinette copy with a fully-covered fuselage. The pilot sat aft of the wings behind a large fairing with 2 small mica windows.
(Span: 9 m; chord: 2.1 m; wing area: 18.9 sqm; length: 7.8 m; 50 hp Antoinette)
Another monoplane with Dinoird No 2 on the rudder, featured a sort of biplane tailplane, 2 small triangular fins above and below the uncovered aft fuselage, a high pylon, and a tail wheel.
