This Week’s Hints to help you along:
- This curious design was displayed at the Grand Palais in November 1912.
- 100 years ago today this was one of the most innovative designs in France.
- It sported a single engine and featured a stable canard configuration.
- A civilian plane, not a military one.
So do you know what this aircraft is?

The photo shows the remarkable Drzewiecki monoplane canard driving a pusher propeller. When it was shown at the Paris airshow it still had to leave the ground and it soon went into oblivion.

Nico has done it again! Congratulations.
This could be Burt Rutan inspiration for the Vari/Long eZe series of canard/pusher homebuilt !!
