Happy new year my dear Toura,


and merry Christmas,and a great info my dear,that is meaning the Wib.11
fighter was submitted to C.1 1923 tender,and for the twin boom aircraft,
it is very strange,that is because the Wib.10 was mentioned here as a
two seat recce aircraft;


http://www.aviafrance.com/wibault-10-aviation-france-9387.htm


I will re-set the list.

OK my dear Toura,and thank you very much.


My dear Maveric,the drawing you had been sent,it was Breguet-Wibault Model-670,and
in the same time called Wibault Wib.100.
 
The Bréguet-Wibault 670 looks a little bit different from the Wibault Wib.670 aka Wib.100. :eek:

Excellent my dear Toura,


you made my day,thank you,and for the last aircraft,I suspect if it was Wib.700,
may be yes and may be no.
 
Thank you my dear Toura,


and the Wib.700 project was mentioned in Georges Messier site.
 
Hi,


for the Wib.230T,it was mentioned in Flightglobal site;
http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1931/1931%20-%200532.html


The Wibault 230T. three-engined low-wing, cantilever
construction, all-metal commercial transport plane is
equipped with three 250-h.p. Wright-Hispano engines, or
with three Gnome-Rhone 300-h.p. Titan Major K7
motors, and has a ground speed of 237 k.p.h. (147 m.p.h.),
with a cruising speed of 206 k.p.h. (128 m.p.h.). It is
fitted for the transport of 10 passengers, and has a flight
radius of 1,000 km. (620 miles). The official tests have
just been completed by the Service Technique, and it is
said that this plane will be put ill service shortly on one
cr mcre of the air lines.

Is anyone aware of a Wibault 4-engine flying boat project from 1930?

Wow,that's new for me my dear Schneiderman,but it's need confirm.
 
Its definitely confirmed, from British company archives, although I'm not yet ready to share the information as I want to dig a little deeper. I also want to check whether anyone with knowledge of French aircraft and Wibault knew about it.


edit: but I can say that there were three conceptual designs, none developed beyond basic layout.

Whatever,many thanks,and please if you can hint to the anther two concepts,
that will be great,and after about two to three months,the TU magazine will speak
about Wibault in details,and I will share any new Info.
 
If it helps, the Wilbault project numbers may be 410 Th and 440 Th

Any ideas?

It's impossible,if we see the Wib.340 was appeared in 1931,and according to your reference
they created in 1930,so I think those three Projects maybe allocated to Wib.290,Wib.300 &
Wib.320 ?.
 
Hi,

also in Wikipedia,they took from us literally,

Hi Hesham,
am looking for more photos of the one and only Wibault 240 (July-October 1933?).
So far I only found one here https://www.aviafrance.com/wibault-240-aviation-france-9393.htm

Irritating that a Wibault Wib.240 should be involved in a 1930 contest for seaplane/flying boat transport aircraft???

Hi Wieesso,

For the 1930 competition,yes it was involved;
Transport seaplane ; Gourdou-Leseurre GL-710,Farman F.310,
CAMS-58,Latecoere Late.501,SPCA-60,Liore et Olivier LeO H-24,
Wibault Wib.240 and maybe Bleriot-250
