Pacchiotti

   During the summer of 1910 Henri Chazal built a large tractor monoplane for Pacchiotti. It resembled the Bleriot XII, but with a front elevator and a rectangular lifting tailplane set on top of the rear fuselage. The long rectangular rudder hinged on the sternpost was painted PACC 1 in bold capital letters. The wings had triangular ailerons partly set into the wingtips.; the propeller was set on the leading edge, chaindriven from the engine below. The undercarriage consisted of 2 castering main wheels and a fixed tailwheel. Pacchiotti took his monoplane to the airshow at Vichy in 1910 and flew it.
