Mignet HM-290 Flying Flea: The Anti-Stall Airplane

The Mignet HM-290, known worldwide as the "Pou du Ciel" (Louse of the Sky) or "Flying Flea," is more than an airplane; it's a flight philosophy. Designed by Frenchman Henri Mignet in the 1930s, its goal was to create an aircraft that was impossible to stall or spin, the two greatest dangers for pilots of that era. It is a machine designed from the ground up for maximum safety and simplicity, sacrificing everything else in the process.
