Domenjoz Sailing Glider

This craft is the Domenjoz Sailing Glider built in 1929 or 1930. The original restored glider is on display at the Owl's Head Museum located in Maine, USA.
It actually did fly.

There is abundant information about the Domenjoz sailing Glider here. French language, but can be approximated in English by Google translation.

The US Patent 1,752,241 of John Domenjoz on the principles of this machine can be found here.

Cheers
