The designation of Nieuport is linked with the origins of aviation. �douard de Ni�port (August 24 1879-September 16 1911) - a pilot and designer - was one of the aviation pioneers. In 1909 he established the Soci�t� d'A�rolocomotion aircraft factory in Suresnes manufacturing airplanes of his design. He was one of the few designers who preferred the monoplane layout with the smallest possible number of drag-increasing items. The first construction the Nieuport I did not distinguish itself in performance but it was a kind of laboratory which enabled the designer to develop his new brainchild the Niueport II of 1910 into a machine singled out for its novel technical solutions: the fabric-covered fuselage with the pilot's seat so arranged that only his head would protrude above the fuselage or the landing gear with the wheels attached to a skid through a steel suspension spring.
