Albert had paid for a 120 hp Anzani; but for some reason an 80 hp engine had been delivered, and Albert asked Villard to build a third machine.

   Ornis-3 was the third Villard design to be royally funded, and consisted only of bare steel tube struts mounted on 4 tubular floats; it used a larger engine, possibly the 120 hp Anzani meant for Ornis-2. It was tested by Henri Gerard at Ostend shortly before the War broke out. What may have been its immediate predecessor or perhaps a subsequent modification was similar, but was set on 3 big square-cornered floats.
