Several hundred were made during 1910. In 1913 he produced an experimental variable-pitch propeller, which was fitted to the Clement-Bayard VI airship. Over 100,000 Chauvière propellers were built for Allied aircraft during the First World War, around 25% of total production. After

In 1817, the school's military status was removed by royal order and the official goal of the school was set to train qualified technicians. However, in practice, the organisation remained military and the students continued to wear the uniform. This tradition continues today. In 1826, a second royal order confirmed this new status and the military organisation

2090-435: The school tried to keep a certain level of activity. The only campuses to experience some difficulties were Lille and Châlons-sur-Marne : in 1939 no new students were admitted. The Cluny campus was the target of a roundup in 1943 and a large part of students and staff were deported. The death of Jacques Bonsergent left a mark on the conflict, he became a symbol of resistance to the oppressor. The second school of this kind

At the dawn of the 20th century, the development of the school expanded to three new campuses. In 1891, the ancient abbey of Cluny was chosen to host the activities of the fourth school. Then, to go hand in hand with
