variants with their own articles=The so-called Głowiński monoplane was an otherwise un-named aircraft built by Bronisław Głowiński in Poland in 1911, and which became the first aircraft built on Polish territory to fly [There were several earlier flying aircraft built by Poles in Austria or Germany, most notably Adolf Warchałowski, and aircraft built on Polish territory, that were not able to complete a successful flight. Polish territory at that time was divided by Austria, Germany and Russia as a result of partitions.] . Głowiński was a student of an Engineering School in Lwów, and he built his plane in his brother's workshop in Ternopil (then: Polish city under Austrian rule). Modelled superficially after the French Blériot XI, Głowiński's design differed from that aircraft most significantly in using a frame of welded steel tube rather than wood, and that an engine was mounted higher. Like the Blériot (and most other designs of the era), the fuselage was left uncovered as an open framework. Although Głowiński managed to make a number of short flights in the machine from May to summer 1911, it was too heavy for the powerplant selected, which itself was worn out, and development was soon abandoned. By 1913, Głowiński had broken up his plane. Parts of the aircraft survived until World War II.
