A French airplane designed with a HUGE aspect ratio. It allows her to fly for hours a do the mission she was designed to do : Take pictures for French map makers.

This high aspect ration meant that the engineers had to find new solutions to improve the structure of the thin wings.
It was done with the complex lower wing.

    Moi aussi, j'en ai assez des chasseurs, c'est juste que c'est français donc... Tu crois que tu peux faire le CT-144 Tutor des Snowbirds? (C'est pas un avion de chasse)

    Thank you everybody. Lolivier, un pays change tout le temps et des mises a jour des carte sont faites regulierement. En plus cet avion date de 1950, les satellites n'etaient pas encore tres au point a l'epoque...

    Perfect replica. Loving your work thomasjef. Keep these unusual plane replicas coming, like this and the the ekranoplan. Btw could you design a tug plane and soft decoupler link for my new hang glider pretty please. I've tried n failed. Thanks hun.
