French aviation pioneer. The elder brother was Gabriel Voisin (1880-1973), and the younger brother was Charles Voisin (1882-1912). Both brothers were born in Neuville-sur-Saône. In 1905, they established the world's first airplane factory in Billancourt, a suburb of Paris, and built airplanes to their own designs or in collaboration with customers. This was just two years after the Wright brothers' first flight. The brothers' aircraft were biplanes with propulsion and a canard (with elevators) and a tail (with rudder), but no ailerons.
