Savary Biplane - 1910
When the Societe des Aeroplanes Robert Savary was incorporated in June 1910, the assets included, with his patents from 1909, a biplane that was mostly a Wright Flyer copy, but with elevators mounted in a rear position.
However, the model shown at the 1910 Reims meeting was a much larger biplane, with 4 vertical shutters hinged to each of the 2 rear outer wing struts. Soon the design would be modified again, with ailerons now built into all 4 wing panels and control surfaces hinged to the triangular tailplanes.
3 variants were built in 1911: a racer of 10-meter span, and a 2 and a 3 seater; the latter 2 were entered in the 1911 Concours Militaire.
Since first models several engines moved the chain-drove 2 tractor contra-rotating propellers. The first option was the 40 Hp. V8 E.N.V., but later versions were powered by 70 Hp Labor, 75 Hp Renault and 110 Hp Salmson engines.
On 13 March 1913 pilot Joseph Frantz flew 9 passengers on one of the twin tractor Savarys using a 110 Hp Salmson Canton-Unne engine.
