My dear Philippe,

the determining of the year is the best guide.

Quite a while ago, we had some proposals by Ivan Makhonine, which showed a very similar way to stow the rotors

You are fully right, it really looks compatible with Makhonine patent FR.966.032 (4/9/1948). A date is readable on the top of the 2nd drawing: December 1948.

Is it possible to raise a topic that was raised a long time ago?

Unfortunately, I have already seen this. I'm interested in the blueprints, but apparently there aren't any.

Do I understand correctly that only these pictures remain from this project? I'm sorry, but the project looks really cool, but there are no drawings.

I just realized that I was very stupid. I already asked the same question last year. You told me that all the information can be found in your book.

It would be tempting to suggest that this D 55 might relate to the 1950 D 57 Phryganet. The problem is that the 1937 D 56 Lycène was a low-winged trainer project for Aviation populaire. So, why did the D 55 not appear until seven years later? Very odd.

Perhaps not so odd. There were quite a number of projects that were halted in 1939-40 because of the war, then restarted after it. It's not impossible that the whole D.5 sequence was considered at some point in the mid-thirties. Remember that the D.6, for instance, was a 1936 aircraft, but it's D.6.3 "Cri-Cri" development only occurred in 1948. Besides, the name "Phrygane" was not just used in 1949 for the D.21; it was already in use as early as 1933 for the D.1.
