Bonjour à tous

For the two rotors and the bicycle-like wheel : The SANTOS DUMONT Hélicoptère 1906 .

I don't know much about it : It was built to perform the first "un kilomètre en circuit fermé" 50 000 F challenge of Deutsch & Archdeacon .The challenge was won by Farman two years later .
It had two rotors and a propeller .

Cheers

Richard
