Morane-Saulnier MS.755 Fleuret

The Morane-Saulnier MS.755 Fleuret was a prototype French two-seat jet trainer designed and built by Morane-Saulnier. It was built to compete for a French Air Force order for a two-seat jet trainer and was a side-by-side, low mid-wing cantilever monoplane with a T-tail, powered by two Turbomeca Marbore II turbojets of 3.9 kilonewtons thrust each. The prototype first flew on 29 January 1953, but the Air Force bought the Fouga Magister instead and only one Fleuret was built. In March 1954 it was shipped to Begumpet in India for tropical weather and trainer-suitability trials with the Indian Air Force, which ended in June 1954, and its enlarged four-seat development was produced as the MS.760 Paris.
