Unfortunately, he did not get to build entirely and then fly Vlaicu III, because his early and unexpected death. However, two of his collaborators finished the construction. The novelty of the model consisted of several features:

- the model featured a unique aerodynamic shape to that time, substantially lowering the air resistance to progress
- for this type of aircraft, Vlaicu designed the cooling metal ring around the engine cylinders, later widely introduced abroad.
