General Description | Traian Vuia (Romanian pronunciation, August 17, 1872 - September 3, 1950 was a Romanian inventor and aviation pioneer who designed, built and tested a tractor configuration monoplane. He said his first airborne test traveled about 12 metres on March 18, 1906, and his best distance was 24 m. Though unsuccessful in sustained flight, Vuia's invention influenced Louis Blériot in designing monoplanes. Vuia abandoned fixed-wing aircraft to design helicopters. |
