In the nice Trait d’Union magazine of May-June 2012 (#263) is presented (after the roadable DeMarçay-Moonen) the photograph of a twin-boom flying car, 1936: the Marchaudon Scarabée. Tests are mentioned but without first flight date and maybe it was all on the ground. Does anyone know of in-flight testing for this project?
In 1937 the Scarabée Nr2 was built with a more narrow car pod, does anyone know if it was tested?
Anyway, the seaplane version remained a pure project, does anyone have a picture of it?
All this is related to the patent FR820336 published in 1937:
