says that machine had a co-designer, someone Ivan Jerome, and then calls their contraption "Jerome-de Bothezat quadrotor or the "Flying Octopus"". This might be worth more research; I'm not sure how it can be integrated in the article as it stands now. East of Borschov (talk) 07:43, 10 May 2010 (UTC) Reply
- Thanks for finding that! I noticed one mention of Ivan in my books. I think I know how to work that in... - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 13:50, 10 May 2010 (UTC) Reply
FYI, I put together George de Bothezat. Quite a colourful chap. East of Borschov (talk) 16:37, 10 May 2010 (UTC) Reply
- Quite so. Great work, too! I've added your article to the DYK hook for this one. :) - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 03:34, 11 May 2010 (UTC) Reply
I'm not aware of any Le Rhone radials, only the rotaries. Do the sources give any particulars as to number of cylinders etc? GraemeLeggett (talk) 14:05, 17 May 2010 (UTC) Reply
- Hm. I wondered about that. What I saw described the 180hp engine as "radial" - perhaps it was a Gnome-Rhône instead of a Le Rhône? Or maybe it was simply one of those errors that gets passed around. I'll see what I can dig up.

- Flight says 170 hp Le-Rhône, not saying rotary or radial. The Le-Rhòne 9R seems to fit the bill.TSRL (talk) 17:29, 18 May 2014 (UTC) Reply
