The engine of the first aircraft had barely settled when Nicéphore turned back toward them.
"There is another," he said.
Napoleon II looked at him.
"Ready?"
"Yes."
Nicéphore gestured toward the far end of the hangar line.
"This one is different."
Napoleon I followed his movement with his eyes.
"Different how?"
"You'll see it from inside," Nicéphore replied.
Napoleon II gave a small nod.
"Then show us."
The second aircraft stood larger.
Not just in length, but in presence.
Where the first had been compact and aggressive in shape, this one was broader, built for a different purpose. A twin engine configuration sat along the wings, each housed in its own casing. The fuselage was wider, with a reinforced body that suggested space within, not just for a pilot, but for more.
Napoleon I slowed as they approached.
"This is not for speed," he said.
"No," Napoleon II replied. "This is for transport."
Murat walked around it once, looking up at the wing.
