Santos-Dumont Demoiselle

Completed at the end of 1908, the Demoiselle was the firsi aeroplane produced in series by Clément-Bayard. Wanting to encourage aviation, Santos-Dumont abandoned his rights over this simple, light, cheap aircraft. The bamboo fuselage suggests that the exhibited copy was made by Santos-Dumont’s workshop.
