Pierre Levasseur (aircraft builder)

He set up his company Société Pierre Levasseur Aéronautique, always referred to simply as Levasseur in Paris in 1910, beginning by making propellers.

He then began to design his own, the majority of which were single-engine biplanes for French Naval Aviation.

[1] He also ran a flying school, where the chief pilot of his school was François Denhaut (1877–1952), notable for designing the first flying boat.

Georges Abrial (1898 – 1970), an early French aerodynamicist, also worked with Levasseur to produce the Levasseur-Abrial A-1.
