Abstract
Considered the master piece of Santos Dumont ́s designs, airplane Demoiselle presented several innovations. Simple geometric forms, common materials and constructional integration that avoided complicated details was used in the project. The idea was to make it simple so that people all over the world could construct a plane. Blueprints of the drawings of the plane were made available for free by Dumont itself. Many pilots and air clubs started from this approach. Here this design is revisited having in mind the construction of a model of the airplane. With that model an analysis with finite elements for level flight is made in order to get the structural response of the structure of the plane. A discussion on its adequacy and structural response is then presented.
