MS.570 Role Utility aircraft National origin France Manufacturer Morane-Saulnier First flight 19 December 1945 Number built 10 The Morane-Saulnier MS.570 was a civil utility aircraft produced in small numbers in France in the late 1940s.[1][2][3] It was a derivative of the MS.560 aerobatics aircraft with a revised fuselage design that added a second seat side-by-side with the pilot's and a more powerful engine.[2]
Like its predecessor, the MS.570 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage. Construction was of metal throughout, with the fuselage having a semi-monocoque structure. The cockpit was enclosed by an expansive bubble canopy that slid rearwards to provide access.[4] The wings could be folded for storage.[4]
While the MS.570 had only two seats, it was followed by MS.571 that added an extra seat to the rear of the cockpit[2][3] (optionally, a small bench seat[4]), and the dedicated four-seater MS.572.[2]
