Hi,

after the Postwar deltas with propeller, https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/postwar-deltas-with-propellers.31602/ I am interested by the pre-Payen Deltas (but real delta-wings, not triangular flying wings, like, for example, the Lippisch Delta 1. And, in this Topic, I Don't consider the fabulous Moskalev Sam-9 Strela, from 1937, as a pre-Payen Delta).

-The "more" known is the US Scroggs "The Last Laugh", from 1929-30 (flying attempts):

-Before that, there are some things on the french "La Flèche" of Lanzi-Billard (first version from 1910 and the second from 1911) (flying attempts) :

-There is too an unknown french plane from around 1909-1910 (flying attempts ?) :

-And, maybe, a french Aéroflèche (with Emile Chassier as Builder) from 1916, on which I don't know anything…


If somebody has Something unknown about these planes or on other such planes (if possible having flown, or having, at least, made flight attempts), I would be very interested :)
