Mullot
The brothers Mullot built 2 early aeroplanes. The first was a handsome low-wing monoplane with considerable dihedral, the 4 wing spars on the top surface and the ribs nearly flat; large ailerons were hinged to the trailing edge. It had an uncovered box-frame fuselage, a large free-standing scalloped rudder, and a long triangular tailplane and rear elevator.
A single photograph titled "La Ferte Alais - Biplane des Fils Mulot" shows a Farman-Iike machine with a small biplane forward elevator cell mounted high on forward outriggers; free-hanging ailerons hinged to the front outermost interplane struts; twin small rudders and 2 wheels. The tips and trailing edges of all the surfaces were deeply scalloped.
