The designation of Nieuport is linked with the origins of aviation.
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..
He was one of the few designers who preferred the monoplane layout with the smallest possible number of drag-increasing items.
In 1909 he established the Soci t d\'A rolocomotion aircraft factory in Suresnes, manufacturing airplanes of his design. douard de Ni port (August 24, 1879-September 16, 1911) - a pilot and designer - was one of the aviation pioneers.
