The Voisin Type de Course was an early French aircraft built by Voisin Freres and first flown early in 1910. Gabriel Voisin designed it as a racing aircraft for the many competitions of the time, developing it from his highly successful 1907 biplane into a two-seat, two-bay pusher biplane with an elevator on the upcurved front of the nacelle and the tail carried on two pairs of booms. It made extensive use of metal, with a nacelle of nickel-steel tubing, steel interplane struts and wings with steel spars and wooden ribs, and unlike earlier Voisins it had ailerons, which let Voisin drop the side curtains between the wings. The first, built for Henri Rougier and flown on 13 April 1910, had a 50 hp E.N.V. water-cooled V8 engine; others were built for other customers with Gnome or Gobron engines. Six flew at the second Reims Grande Semaine d'Aviation, but without success in any competition.
