Costantini's Aeromobile project, circa 1910

Hi,
early aircraft is not my area of expertise but the attached file, not documented yet on this forum, might be of interest to some of you. Costantini's aircraft project might date back to 1910.

French? Italian? Romanian? Hard to find anything on this strange contraption!

I wonder if the inventor is the Frenchman Costantino Costantini. In looking up another designer, I found a 1909 design of his for a flying machine. Patent attached.

Hikoki1946, you rock! Shame on me for not identifying these fellow countrymen... :-[

However, the fact there was a confusion over Costantini/Constantini didn't help either... :

Glad I could shed a little light on the topic.
