Design and development

edit

The Milan was designed by Messrs. Laboureix and Lagrevol as a two-seat side-by-side light utility aircraft. It was of all-wood construction with a fixed spatted tricycle undercarriage and had dual controls. Powered by a 90 hp (67 kW) Regnier 4E.0 inverted inline engine, it first flew in 1947.[1]

Production and service

edit

The Milan obtained its CNRA in August 1949. Its normal certificat de navigabilite was awarded in 1952. The prototype F-BCZZ was flown until at least 1957, but plans for further production did not reach fruition.[1]
