Following closely to the winning formula that Levavasseur had introduced, the Antoinette V introduced a revised undercarriage, with a closely spaced pair of mainwheels at the rear of a carriage/skid which extended forward of the propeller, a tail-skid attached to the lower fin framework prevented damage to the tail section.

Lateral stability on the ground was provided by outrigger wheels supported by a wire-braced framework at about half-span.

The fuselage consisted of a wooden framework of triangular section covered with fabric, except in the cockpit area abreast the wing trailing edge.

Control was affected by wheels either side of the pilot's seat for roll and pitch, and a rudder bar for yaw.

Delivered to Réné Demanest, the Antoinette V proved easy to fly and enjoyed some success.
