Farman F . 1010 The Farman F . 1010 was a small , low - wing , single - seat monoplane ordered by the French government in 1931 to test in flight a large - calibre cannon . This was mounted between the cylinder banks of an inverted V - 8 engine . Design and development . A distant relative of the Farman F . 230 series of two - seat touring and postal aircraft , the F . 1010 was funded by a 1931 government contract for an aircraft to flight test the combination of a large calibre ( 33 mm ) but slow firing ( 2 rounds per second ) cannon , manufactured by Atelier des Puteaux ( APX ) , and Farman ' s own 350 hp ( kW ) water cooled engine . The latter was a 90° inverted V - 8 , allowing the gun to be mounted between the cylinders more easily , firing through the propeller blades . The F . 1010 was a low - wing monoplane , with straight edged , square tipped wings typical of the 230 series though of greater span . Initially , it also had similar straight edged tail surfaces , with a low fin carrying a rudder that moved between the elevators , mounted on the fuselage top and reaching down to the keel . It had the deep , flat - sided and round - decked fuselage characteristic of the series , with a single , open cockpit above the trailing edge . The F . 1010 had a fixed , conventional undercarriage , with single wheels on faired , outward splayed V struts and a tailskid . The V - 8 engine was much larger than any of the motors used by 230 series machines , requiring a distinctive deep , round - chinned cowling . Unusually , its radiators were initially placed edge - on down the fuselage sides above the wings , starting about mid - chord and ending just ahead of the cockpit . The F . 1010 was first flown by Lucien Coupet in August 1932 , then by other Farman test - pilots Burtin and André Salel . It was tested by a military test pilot , lieutenant Francois Polart in tests beginning that December at Villacoublay . He found it heavy ( the cannon accounted for 10 % of the total loaded weight ) and unmanoeuvrable . Significant modifications were made during these test , which extended into 1933 . Manoeuvrability was addressed by the addition of a second horizontal tail surface at the top of the fin , braced to the original one below with wide chord struts . The lateral radiators were moved to the wings . The original two - bladed propeller was replaced by a four bladed , metal one . Polart also reported strong vibrations at low speeds and a tendency to drop the nose when the engine was at full power . The F . 1010 was taken to Cazaux for gun testing ; the aircraft probably returned to be abandoned at Villacoublay at the end of these firing tests .

Fred Rwigyema Fred Gisa Rwigyema ( also spelled Rwigema ; born Emmanuel Gisa ; 10 April 1957 – 2 October 1990 ) was a founding member of and leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front , a political and military force formed by Rwandan Tutsi exiles descendants of those forced to leave the country after the 1959 " Hutu " Revolution . Rwigema was born in Gitarama , in the south of Rwanda . Considered a Tutsi , in 1960 he and his family fled to Uganda and settled in a refugee camp in Nshungerezi , Ankole following the Hutu Revolution of 1959 and the ouster of King Kigeri V . After finishing high school in 1976 , he went to Tanzania and joined the Front for National Salvation ( FRONASA ) , a rebel group headed by Yoweri Museveni , the brother of his friend Salim Saleh . It was at this point that he began calling himself Fred Rwigema . Later that year , he travelled to Mozambique and joined the FRELIMO rebels who were fighting for the liberation of Mozambique from Portugal ' s colonial power . In 1979 , he joined the Uganda National Liberation Army ( UNLA ) , which together with Tanzanian armed forces captured Kampala in April 1979 and sent Idi Amin to exile . He later joined Museveni ' s National Resistance Army ( NRA ) , which fought a guerrilla war against the government of Milton Obote . After the NRA captured state power in 1986 , Rwigema became the deputy Minister of Defence . He was regularly at the front line in northern Uganda during the new government ' s offensives against remnants of the ousted regime . On 1 October 1990 , Rwigyema led the RPF troops in the first battle against the regime of President Habyarimama Juvenal . On the second day of the struggle , Rwigyema was shot dead in the head , which discouraged the RPF fighters . There is a dispute about the exact circumstances of Rwigyema ' s death ; the official line of Kagame ' s government , and the version mentioned by historian Gérard Prunier in his 1995 book on the subject , was that Rwigyema was killed by a stray bullet . In his later book , however , Prunier states that it is likely Rwigyema was killed by his subcommander Peter Bayingana , following an argument over tactics . Paul Kagame who is now the president of the Republic of Rwanda replaced Rwigyema as the head of the RPF army until the victory in July 1994 . Rwigyema is one of Rwanda ' s national heroes . His body was buried at the Heroes Cemetery in Kigali .
