Brochet MB.60
The Brochet MB.60 Barbastelle was a French two-seater work plane built by Maurice Brochet in the late 1940s. Design and development The MB.60 was a high-wing monoplane with a closed cabin. Although a two seater like the Brochet MB.50, it was distinguished by an airfoil without sweep-back, a raised upper deck of the rear fuselage and a fixed landing gear with split axle. Power came from a 83 horsepower Salmson 5-cylinder radial engine. The only MB.60 to be completed (registered ''F-BFKT'') took to the air on 24 June 1949 in Chavenay, piloted by André Deschamps. In the following July it was subjected to glider towing tests and presented in August at the 2nd National RSA rally before passing the certification tests. With Brochet working on the Brochet MB.70, the sole MB.60 was sold to a flying club and used as a glider tug. By the end of 1951 it had totaled 2,000 cycles.

Constructions Aeronautiques Maurice Brochet
''Constructions Aéronautiques Maurice Brochet'' was a French manufacturer of light aircraft established by Maurice Brochet (18 June 1899 – 16 June 1969) in Neauphle-le-Château in 1947. Aircraft design and construction Initially, the firm sold plans for light aircraft of Brochet's own designs to amateur constructors, but gradually undertook more and more aircraft construction, with its final designs not marketed for homebuilding at all. During the early 1950s, Brochet sold some 58 light planes of eight designs to the French government for distribution to the country's aeroclubs. Aircraft produced Maurice Brochet built the MB.10 and the MB.20 gliders in the 1930s. The latter became the Avia 50 motorized glider. He also built three units of the MB.30 monoplane with parasol wing in 1934 before opening the Brochet factory. The aircraft produced in series by the factory after WW II were the following:Simpson, 2005, p. 71 * Brochet MB.40 (1 built) * Brochet MB.50 (12 built) *Bro ...

Salmson Air-cooled Aero-engines
Between 1920 and 1951 the Société des Moteurs Salmson in France developed and built a series of widely used air-cooled aircraft engines.Gunston 1986, p. 158. Design and development After their successful water-cooled radial engines, developed from 1908 to 1918, Salmson changed their focus to air-cooling to reduce weight and increase specific power (power per unit weight). The majority of the engines produced by Salmson were of radial type with a few other arrangements such as the Salmson T6.E. In common with other engines produced by this manufacturer, the air-cooled radial engines featured the unorthodox Canton-Unné internal arrangement that dispensed with a master rod in favour of a cage of epicyclic gears driving the crankpin. Production ended in 1951 with the liquidation of the manufacturing company. British Salmson The 3,7 and 9 cylinder Salmsons were license-built in Great Britain, during the 1920s and 1930s, by the British Salmson engine company as the British Salms ...
