Juvigny (or Javigny?)
This shapely canard monoplane may have been built for the 1914 Concours de Securite, but was not fitted out in time to participate. The fuselage seems to have been covered with ply veneer; both wings and forward surface were rectangular and back-swept. The wings had ailerons set into the trailing edges, and the forward surface had triangular panels hinged on its trailing edge. A water-cooled inline motor was at the very rear of the fuselage driving a 2-blade pusher propeller through a chain. Behind the propeller, pivoted at the top end at the hub, was a large rectangular rudder. 2 main wheels were close together on either side under the leading edges, and 2 nosewheels were paired under the nose.
