Inset the Nieuport monoplane in flight. f The Savary has a triangular-shaped open body, something like the skeleton of a boat, fitted underneath the planes, and extending about 6 to 8 ft. in front of them. This acts as a skid in landing, and to it the wheel and spring arrangement is fixed. The engine is on top of it, at the front edge of the lower plane, and drives through chains a propeller on either side, in front of the planes. The reduction in speed did not appear to be—judging by the size of the chain wheels—as large as might have been to give the best results with the propellers. The tail at the end of framework projecting at the rear has a horizontal plane only. The machine is steered by vertical planes at either end of the main plane. Two of these are hinged at each end at the same point, and open out at an angle with one another when they are used. The Goupy biplane has already been illustrated and described, its chief feature being that the top plane is not vertically above the The Goupy biplane, piloted by Ladougne, at the Rheims De Pischoff in flight on the "Werner monoplane during the Meeting.
