| Aurel Vlaicu | ||
| Aurel Vlaicu was born on 19/11/1882 in Bintinti, near Orastie, Transylvania, which was then part of Austria-Hungary empire. He was a Romanian engineer, inventor, airplane constructor and early pilot. During his short career he built three original, arrow-shaped airplanes, with flight controls in front, two coaxial propellers, NACA-like ring around the engine, and independent suspension tricycle-landing-gear with brakes. Aurel Vlaicu died on 13/09/1913 near Cāmpina while attempting to cross in flight the Carpathian Mountains in his aged Vlaicu II airplane. | ||
