		When they received the first contract for a military airplane from the U.S. government in February 1908, it called for an aircraft capable of carrying two persons at a speed of at least 40 miles (64 kilometres) per hour for a distance of 125 miles.

		Though the French machine gun had a tendency to "hang fire," so that steel deflector plates had to be fitted onto the rear of the propeller blades to prevent their being shot off, Saulnier quickly perfected his device and fitted it to Garros's Morane L monoplane.
