The Varivol II has a variable span wing that could be extended in flight for a lower speed on landing. The aircraft was intended to be raced in the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe. It was built during WWII and partly destroyed at the Liberation. However, in 1946 it was succesfully tested in the Chalais-Meudon wind tunnel. But it never flew and never had a registration. Next it was forgotten in the back of a barn, until found in Jul-2000 and brought to the Musée Régional de l'Air at Angers, from 2013 renamed Espace Air Passion.

Built by Jacques Delattre, this amateur built version of the Potez 60 made its first flight in Mar-1975 and was registered F-PVQB in Jun-1975. In 1984 it went to the GPPA and in 1988 it was restored for the Musée Régional de l'Air, renamed in 2003 Espace Air Passion at Angers. It is thought that this JD-60 is a rebuild of an unknown older Potez 60.

After the crash of his model II, only the 50hp Antoinette engine could be salvaged. That was used in the construction of a new model, the III. On 27-Sep-1908 it made its first flight, for a distance of 1500m. He continued test flying it for several months until his test field flooded. After his death in 1913 the plane was given to the City of Angers where it was kept under the vaults of the granary Saint-Jean where it was displayed until 1967. In 1986 the GPPA restored the aircraft for display in the Musée Régional de l'Air, from 2013 named Espace Air Passion.

Built in 1942, it was stored at the Centre Régional des Sports Aériens at Clermont-Ferrand. In Nov-1943 it was taken over by the German Air Force. In Jun-1945 it was captured in Germany by the British and brought to England by Flt Lt Narbeth destined for the Air Training Corps. Next it went to Slingsby to be studied for a possible production run. It was stored by them until it was registered BGA680 in Jan-1952. It was flown until 1973. It was restored as F-AZQP probably in Jan-1993. Later it went to Espace Air Passion painted (very small under the tailplane) as BGA680 again.

The 102T is an ornithopter with two flapping wings in tandem. It was built in 1937. While testing the machine in the Chalais Meudon wind tunnel on 12-Apr-1938, the pilot progressively increased the power of the 77hp JAP engine, but then the left wing on the back broke, followed by the three others. It never flew and was stored until it was found in 2005 and brought to the Musée Régional de l'Air at Angers, where it was partially restored. The museum changed name to Espace Air Passion in 2013.

The SG-38 is a German primary training glider from 1938 that was built in large numbers by several manufacturers and gliding clubs. This one was built by Petera, but its German registration is unknown. It was captured in 1945 by allied troops and was one of the almost 300 that ended up in France. Also its French registration is currently unknown. From 1947 most of them were broken-up or destroyed, and by 2018 only 9 remained in France. This one was restored in 2013 by the Espace Air Passion museum.
