Development

Designed by Alberto and Piero Morelli, the M-200 was built by the Turin Gliding Centre (''Centro di Volo a Vela – Turin'') under contract with the Aero Club of Italy (''Aero-club d'Italia''). The M-200 is a two-seat glider with dual controls with generally similar layout to the single seat M-100 but with greater dimensions. Conventional wooden-frame structure and plywood skinning were used for the fuselage with a single-spar wing covered in plywood and fabric. Accommodation for two is provided in the staggered seat cockpit covered by a sideways hinging canopy. With relatively high performance for its day, the M-200 proved to be easy to fly both for early solo pilots and for advanced aerobatics. The M-200 was also built in France by CARMAM as the M-200 Foehn.
