Marais avionette

The Marais avionette was a single seat, low-powered cantilever monoplane built in France in 1923 to compete in a newspaper-sponsored tour contest. Engine selection problems prevented it from taking part. It was modified into a glider for a later competition but crashed during qualification. It was one of the first aircraft to have a retractable undercarriage.
