A View of France . . . With commendable foresight, prompted no doubt, by the Messerschmitt 323, Fouga are building a powered version of the C.M. 10, known as the C.M.100, which will be offered for economical freight and pas- senger transport. With its retractable un- dercarriage, the machine is remarkably clean, and, powered with two Renault L2S inverted vee-12 air-cooled engines of only 580 h.p. each, is expected to carry 35 per cent of its total weight of over 16,900 lb and tc have a maximum cruising speed above 180 m.p.h. Twenty-one passengers and 660 lb of baggage (or, without pas- sengers, 5,500 1b of freight) will be trans- ported for 300 miles. Moreover, the design will meet I.C.A.O. safety requirements. Various schemes for interior layout—some quite ambitious—are in mind. One proto- type of the C.M.100 and one of the C.M. 101 (the two differ only in undercarriage design) have been ordered by the French Air Ministry in addition to two prototypes of the unpowered C.M. 10 Another prototype observed in the Fouga shops was the M.3oo, a 3-4-seater advanced military trainer and liaison machine, for which the specification is at present under revision.

Castello is responsible for their design. We were particularly in- terested in the two-seater CM.7, two proto- types of which are being made. This beautiful sailplane, with its strength factor of T2, has been designed for cloud flying. Its 59-foat gull-wing is fitted with dive brakes. The C.25S is another two-seater, but is intended for instruction. Apart from the Jalon, designed specifically for aerodyna- mic studies in towed flight, the firm have
