Mechanical engineer and aircraft designer János Adorján (1 January 1882 – 2 July 1964) with the financial support of Count Géza Andrássy, has built the original of the “Libelle” (Flying adder) aircraft in 1909 based on the monoplane of Louis Bleriot with a twin-cylinder (18,4 KW) Adorján-Dedics type engine. He executed his first successful takeoff on 10 January 1910 near Budapest. This flight was also the first in our country.
