On the morning of October, 5, 1914, French Sergeant pilot Joseph Frantz and&#160; mechanic Corporal Quenault in their Voisin biplane spotted a German Aviatik flying at about 3500 ft. He closed on until Quenault found the range and opened fire with a light machine gun. The Aviatik dove away, but Frantz followed, Quenault firing intermittently. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1911, MM. Voisin Freres experimented with a biplane characterized by the absence of a tail and the grouping of the elevation  and direction rudders at the front, carried by a long central fuselage.  This fuselage was attached at the rear to the main biplane  cell. But airplane design moved quite the [...]]]></description>

The original Voisin type was soon replaced by the type &#8220;Bordeaux,&#8221; quite different from the original in controls and structure. There were several innovations on this machine, notably the Gnome rotary engine of 11 cylinders set like the spokes of a wheel. 


The under-carriage and tail-booms and much of the understructure was made of steel [...]]]></description>

This machine, built by the Voisins and first experimented with  in the late part of l909, embodied several unorthodox biplane features, but had little success. The Goupy  and the Breguet, aeroplanes of this type, however, turned out to be much more practical.

Top Speed:  50 m.p.h.

In 1906-07, the Voisin brothers had designed and built a pusher biplane, powered by an Antoinette V-8 engine, that took off on wheels and flew reasonably well. Purchased and modified by French aviation pioneer Henri Farman, a Voisin biplane, in January 1908, became the first airplane in Europe to fly a one kilometer circuit. Later [...]]]></description>

Charles and Gabriel Voisin were France&#8217;s answer to the Wright Brothers. In 1904, they established a factory for the production of gliders and experimental machines, designing primitive biplanes in 1906.   Having constructed a power machine for Leon Delagrange, Charles Voisin made his first power flight in it, a short hop of [...]]]></description>
