Hi,

as I promised before to speak about this designer,with all or most of his
aircraft and Projects,and he was born in 1890 at Belgium,but we later went
to France,and after WWI,was then hired by Buscaylet Père et Fils-Bobin,but
this firm had a serious financial problem in 1925/26 and ceased to trade.

He continued making and designed aircraft and unusual Project concepts,
and in 1937 he joined Ettore Bugatti to build a racer monoplanes,after WWII
he went to USA,and created some new VTOL aeroplanes.

to be continued

Hi,

the strangest thing that Mr. de Monge had a series and when he was
hired in Buscaylet he had anther sequence,they moved on in parallel
until 1927,he continued with Buscaylet series with most notable Type 10.1,and all aircraft and Projects which I will speak about it were real,
but most of designation numbers are only from my speculations;

1.1 was an experimental glider of 1907
1.2 was an experimental glider monoplane at the wing excessively arched,1911
10 ? was an experimental parasol wing monoplane of 1913/1914 (Jabiru),powered by one 24 hp Anzani engine with with automatically stabilizing
20 ? was a live-wing biplane of 1915,with a propeller mounted in the center
of fuselage,powered by 50 hp engine
30? was an experimental parasol wing monoplane of 1915,powered by
one 150 hp HS 8A engine,with automatically stabilizing,aircraft No.2 from
this concept
40 ? was a triplane bomber of 1915,maybe built but no more details are known
50 ? was a biplane flying boat Project of 1915,with a single engine driving two pusher propellers
60 ? was a triplane light bomber of 1917,but not with Bugatti engine
70 ? was a biplane fighter of 1918,maybe remained a Project,had three machine guns
80 ? was anther biplane fighter of 1918,no more details
90 ? was a biplane "Strafer" aircraft of 1918,no more details are known
100 ? was a ultra-light pedal driven monoplane of 1920,later developed by Abbins
110 ? was a single seat attack biplane,maybe remained a Project of 1919/20
120 ? was a biplane light bomber,a modified of Fiat BR,powered by one
725 hp Fiat A14 engine
130 was a BN.4 fur seat night bomber flying-wing Project of 1921,
powered by four engines and had small twin-boom
140 ? was a parasol-wing twin engines monoplane,had auxiliary two
small propellers,driven by the two engines plus main two propellers,
and mounted at the end of the wings for more propulsion assist,1923
150 was a eight-passenger flying wing Project of 1924,powered by two 375 hp Lorraine 12Da engines
160 ? was a fighter project of 1925,no more details are known
170 ? was a biplane night bomber of 1925,no more details are known
180 ? was a fighter Project of 1926,no more details are known
190 ? was a single boom monoplane,with thick center wing section of 1926

From 1927 the Buscaylet was disappeared and de Monge open a Exino Société ,but from 1921 to 1936 he continued to use this sequence;

1.1 was a further work about experimental fighter biplane of 1918

4.1 ? was a three engined transatlantic transport flying wing Project of 1921,with two main floats,powered by three 500 hp engines
5.1 was a single seat racer biplane,easy converted into monoplane of 1921,intended for Coupe Deutsch de la Meuthre,powered by one 300
hp HS 8Fb engine
5.2 was a single seat parasol wing monoplane fighter of 1922,powered
by one 300 hp HS 8Fb engine

180 ? was a light transport sesquiplane,with variable swing high wing
only to converted into a monoplane,Project of 1934
190 ? was a small 2-seat “flying-wing”, to be constructed at Starck and
Guénot Co. With a Rubis-Péquignol engine,Project of 1935

Non-standard list;

1940 was a Project of flying bomb with 700 kg explosives load
Planicopter-1 was a tilt-rotor small helicoplane Project of 1944,
powered by two engines
Plabicopter-2 was a tilt-rotor large helicoplane Project of 1944,
powered by two engines



Note - the designations 20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,140,
160,170 & 180 are only my guess,and of course need confirm

Note-II, in the second series,the Types 110,130,150,170,180 & 190
are from only my guess,and need confirm of course

- The second series which maybe began with Type 1.1 racer aircraft
will be explained soon

- Any corrections or additions are welcome

I add anther two series,

and for the aircraft he licence built or developed,I will talk about them later.
 
Hi,

I make those changes in the first list,after discovered some mistakes.

For the aircraft built under licence,pr built for anther companies,some of them completed
and other remained a Projects :-

Dorand ; BU (Project),Figter,Hydro (Project)
Caproni Ca.53
Morane Saulnier ANB
LUSAC 21
LUSAGH 21
Breguet XIX,XX,XXI & XXII
Dyle et Bacalan DB.10,DB,20,DB.30,DB.70 & DB.71
SAB AB.20 & AB.21
Breguet-Dorand Helicopter
 
Also from Onera Archive,

there is two mysteries designs,and they were a BN.4,and each of them were from 1929 ?.

As new Info from TU magazine,

I change the early Type-110,and add the Projects 2.1,3.1 & 4.1 to Buscaylet list.

By the way,

it's only my guess,the TU magazine cleared some new airplanes,for those designations,
they are a speculations from me.
 
From Pegase,Unknown Project ?,

- At de Monge, in 1924, he designed a three-engined transatlantic
aircraft with a habitable wing. A flying model gives excellent results,
but the final device cannot be built due to the disappearance of the
firm.

Even from TU 171 magazine,

unfortunately, the program that this machine responded to will be
canceled in 1932. It will be paid 1,500,000 Francs and will never fly,
the Exino firm disappearing.

At the time, when the type 120 was built, the Exino Design Office
was working on a 170 m BN-4 which was supposed to fly at 245 km/h
and have a ceiling of 7000 m. Still of the flying wing formula, a
wooden model will be produced in 1931. The disappearance of the
firm resulted in the work being stopped. The name of this machine is
unknown.
In 1935 De Monge studied a small two-seater with a flying wing which
was to receive a Rubis-Péquignol engine. It would have been built at
Starck and Guénot. The editor does not know more.

The source,

Louis de Monge
From 1923 to 1926, Riffard was the technical director for the company
run by Belgian engineer Louis de Monge at Issy-les-Moulineaux. He
designed two fighter aircraft while with de Monge, but the company
failed before they could be produced. He also designed a tri-engined
transatlantic flying wing passenger transport that progressed to the flying
model stage.
