The Gastambide-Mengin monoplane (later Gastambide-Mengin I, Gastambide-Mengin II and Antoinette II) was an early French experimental aircraft designed by Leon Levavasseur and was the first aircraft built by the Antoinette company. Design and developmentThe monoplane (later known as the Gastambide-Mengin I) was powered by a {{convert|50|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Antoinette piston engine driving a tractor propeller.
