The designation of Nieuport is linked with the origins of aviation.
Edouard de Nieport (August 24, 1879-September 16, 1911) - a pilot
and designer - was one of the aviation pioneers. In 1909 he
established the Societe d'Aerolocomotion 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.
