Mr. Léon Levavasseur was a pioneer of French aviation,he built many airplanes and gliders,
and in 1916,he designed a single seat fighter Project,intended to reach a 360 km/h speed,
it had a blind fuselage canopy,trolley main landing gear and used a skids for landing.
This machine had a 160 hp engine and a wing square of 10 m2,with a monoplane configuration
but never materialized.
