Mamet

   A well-known pilot and former mechanic of Louis Bleriot's - he had worked for Bleriot since 1907 - Julien Mamet introduced a monoplane of his own design in 1911 intended to fly around the world; it was also registered at the Concours Militaire of 1911. The machine resembled the Antoinette rather than the Bleriot, though slightly smaller. The pilot sat behind and slightly higher than his passenger in a long Antoinette-style fuselage with a flat rectangular tank in front of him as a windscreen. The wing panels were rectangular at the fuselage, but the trailing edges then angled forward to elliptical wingtips. The machine sat tail high, on a third wheel trailing behind the forward pair; a semicircular elevator was hinged to a rectangular tailplane; the rudder was a large polygon. Though the aeroplane was registered for the Concours Militaire with a 100 hp Gnome, it appeared in photographs dated October 1911 with a 60 or 80 hp radial Anzani.
