Morane-Saulnier MS.570

The Morane-Saulnier MS.570 was a civil utility aircraft produced in small numbers in France in the late 1940s. It was a derivative of the MS.560 aerobatics aircraft, with a revised fuselage that added a second seat side by side with the pilot's and a more powerful engine. Like the MS.560 it was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable tricycle undercarriage, of all-metal construction with a semi-monocoque fuselage, and its cockpit had a large bubble canopy that slid rearwards for access. The wings could be folded for storage. One MS.570 with a Renault 4Pei engine was built; it was followed by the MS.571 with an extra seat, of which seven were built, and the four-seat MS.572 with a Potez 4D-01 engine, of which two were built.
