Morane-Saulnier MS.560

The Morane-Saulnier MS.560 was a French civil aerobatic monoplane designed and built by Morane-Saulnier. First flown in 1945, it was a single-seat low-wing monoplane with a retractable landing gear, powered by a 75 horsepower Train 6D-01 piston engine, with a published maximum speed of 233 kilometres per hour and a range of 1,000 kilometres. Further variants followed, all using different engines: the MS.561 with a 100 horsepower Mathis G4-Z, the MS.562 with a Blackburn Cirrus Minor, the MS.563 with a Mathis or a Walter Minor, and the 1949 MS.564 with a Walter Minor 4-III. In 1946 a two-seat touring variant was produced as the Morane-Saulnier MS.570.
