Charles Fauvel (31 December 1904 - 10 September 1979) was a French aircraft designer noted for his flying wing designs, and in particular, his flying wing sailplanes. He became interested in soaring after witnessing a competition at Vauville in 1925, and set out to design a competition glider with minimal drag, settling on the flying wing formula based on the work of Georges Abrial and René Arnoux. One of his designs, the AV.10 was the first flying wing to attain a French Certificate of Navigability. His greatest commercial success was the AV.36 sailplane, first flown in 1951. Fauvel's other achievements included a number of aerial world records, including the world altitude and duration records for an aircraft under 400 kg, which he set in September 1929. In 1979, he was killed in the crash of a CAB Supercab that he was piloting.[1] References{{Commonscat}}1. ^« Un aviateur angevin : Charles Fauvel », Les Cahiers du RSA, no 168, septembre-octobre 1989 {{Fauvel aircraft}}{{Defunct aircraft manufacturers of France}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Fauvel, Charles}} 3 : Aircraft designers|1904 births|1979 deaths |
