Noel Reconnaissance Aircraft
In 1914 the firm of Noel designed a reconnaissance aircraft powered by an 80-hp Gnome rotary engine. It was a two-bay biplane; the top wing was considerably longer than the lower. The layout was similar to the contemporary Caudron G.3, although the horizontal stabilizer was mounted atop of the rudder. It has been reported that the plane was intended for reconnaissance, but other sources indicate it may have also been offered for use in the ecole (trainer) role. In any event, it was not selected for use by the Aviation Militaire.

Nieuport 31. The wheels were partially covered by a large airfoil which, for all practical purposes, made the Nieuport 31 a sesquiplane.
