French Light Civil Aircraft & Helicopter Projects and Prototypes

[hesham]

Hi,

Do you know the Wassmer Wa-70 light aircraft ?,
it was side-by-side two seat trainer aircraft with T-tail (only a project).

Wassmer Wa-53 :a Wa-51 with 125 hp Lycoming engine

 

[hesham]

Hi,
Scintex ML-145: was a four seat low-wing cabin touring aircraft project ,which led to ML-250.

 

[hesham]

Hallo dears,

I read that Georges Lepere designer who warked for LeO and Westland
companies(CL.10 and CL.20),in 1956 he designed the L.30 three seat
autogyro fitted with 145-hp (108 kW) Continental engine,project only.

 

[hesham]

Hi everyone,

SFCA VEMA-51 :it must be a licence built Macchi MB-320 light twin aircraft
but no production.

 

[hesham]

Boisavia B.604: was B.60 with lenghtened fuselage for glider towing
and powerd by 230 hp Salmson 9ABC engine.
Boisavia B.606: was B.60 with Regnier 4L-O0 engine.

Mylius MY-103 and MY-104.

 

[Maveric]

Hi,
the Mylius My. 103 is areal aircraft, no project.

Servus

 

[Jemiba]

The Laté 673 was a gem for Tophe ! A project for a single engined, twin-boom
floatplane fighter with a tractor prop and retractable floats. It was a pre-war project.

the Nord 1800 is mentioned in "Les Avions De Combat Francais", but without drawing, too,
and the SOCATA X-270 and a NC.1150 are unknown to me.
We need some kind of visualisation ....

The Reims JC-10 two seat aerobatic trainer monoplane powered by one
160 hp engine,either Potez SE30 or Rolls Royce IO-346.

Thanks,

And do you know the Aerospatiale AS-100 & AS-125 RRJ projects?.

 

[hesham]

Hi,

Do you know the Wassmer Wa-70 light aircraft ?,

Anther small info,it was powered by 90 hp piston engine.

Scintex ML-145: was a four seat low-wing cabin touring aircraft project ,which led to ML-250.

Old posts, I know, but the Scintex ML 145 wasn't an unbuilt project - the prototype flew in May 1961.

Ditto for Boisavia 'projects'...

... and the SFCA VEMA 51:
http://www.aviastar.org/air/france/sfca_vema-51.php

Mylius Flugzeugwerk isn't a French firm but German (from Bitburg). The 4-seat My-104 and 2-seat My-103/180 remained unbuilt but, as Maveric said, four of the My-103/200 series were constructed.

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Apophenia.

 

[hesham]

Hi,

the Airplan company produced a single-seat monoplane in 1946,powered by one 40
hp Train engine,does anyone hear about it before ?.

 

[walter]

Hi Hesham
Maybe the AS-10 which may have flown in December 1945?. Sadly I do not have a photo and never seen one! . This aircraft may also have been referred to as the Durenleau DS-10 or as Durendeaux D-510,
Engine as mentioned by you a 40hp Train 4T, wingspan 26.25ft, max. speed 95mph.
Have never seen a F-W or F-P registration.

 

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Walter,

and what was the designer of AS-10 ?,the "Airplan" was the name of the company
as I know.

 

[hesham]

My dear Jemiba,

please merge this topic with older one,and also please keep the title as above (French Little Known Civil Aircraft and Projects).

http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,16010.msg18406.html#msg18406

done !

 

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Jemiba.

 

[hesham]

Hi,

the Bourgois-Senemaud AT-50 or AM-50 was probably a Project for sesquiplane with
floats as a seaplane,powered by one 50 hp Anzani engine in 1928.

 

[hesham]

What was this SNCAN airplane ?,a Project ?.

[walter]

Hi Hesham
I think that this project was indeed by SCAN as the SCAN-40 Scanton in/around 1947.
This is info I collected over the years and maybe it is of some help to you.
2-seat sport
one 70-75hp Roussell 1600cc piston engine
estimated max. speed 125 mph, range 625 miles
wingspan 31.824ft; length 22.965ft
DETAILS: This twin tail boom, pusher engine, light plane was an original design 2-seater of Mr. Roussel, who also developed the 1600cc engine. Work on the aircraft and the engine commenced in 1947 and in April of that year construction of the prototype was started in the SCAN (Société de Construction Aéro-Navale) works under the SCAN-40 Scanton designation. The work by SCAN on the aircraft was soon stopped, but from November 1950 continued by the designer and the aircraft was renamed as the Roussel Model 40 Hirondelle. The aircraft was ready for ground tests and taxi trials in February 1952, but work soon stopped (1953) and the aircraft was not actually flight tested.
Production: 1

 

[hesham]

Oh Roussel,thank you my dear Walter.

Hi,

in this topic,my dear Jemiba displayed Legrand-Simon LS.60,and there was also
the LS.50 Dauphine,and I ask if there was earlier designation from LS.10 to LS.40
or not ?.

[hesham]

From Ailes 6/1945,

a strange Project called JC.10.

 

[hesham]

From Decollage 12/1946,

here is a light biplane,maybe a Project,designed by J. Pourrat and called JP-01.

 

[hesham]

From Ailes 9/1946,

here is a light high-wing monoplane prototype,called LP.24,and developed by
Mr. Prierre Lavoisier.

Les Avions Francais 1944-1964

 

[hesham]

From Ailes 9/1947,

here is an article about SNAP (Société Nouvelle d'Aviation Pratique) aircraft,included FN-6,
FN-7 and FN-301 light aircraft Projects,does anyone hear about them before ?,and I read
that,the designer name was Mr. F. Neyvoz ?.

 

[hesham]

Hi,

does anyone hear about this aircraft before ?,it's X-28,designed by Mr. Fourneyron ?.

 

[walter]

Hi Hesham
The X-28 is better known as the Williams X-28 (Motorfly) and I do not know whether this it true but possibly Wiliams was a pseudoniem for a Mr. Mourlot who may have been the (co)designer. Reportedly the first X-28 (Arbogast) already appeared in 1937, but only after WW2 further examples were built in France under various names/designations.
I am sure that fellow-members have more accurate info on the X-28 familly.

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Walter.

 

[hesham]

From Ailes 11/1947,

seat high wing light monoplanes.

 

[hesham]

From Ailes 3/1/1948,

here is a tailless pusher aircraft Project with new idea,designed by Mr. A. Delcus.

 

[hesham]

From Ailes 2/1948,

Yes, Max Williams was the pseudonym of Max Mourlot (q.v. https://www.facebook.com/Musee.Aviation.Angers/posts/le-max-williams-mw-25-n-36-construit-en-1953-par-la%C3%A9roclub-de-moulins-a-%C3%A9t%C3%A9-conf/1107860992616466/ - the author of which, I suspect, is Christian Ravel)
