The Beeson MB.26 was a French sesquiplane floatplane designed by Marcel Besson as a shipborne two-seat reconnaissance aircraft for the French Navy, but it was not ordered into production. [1]
The MB.26 was a W-strut wing braced sesquiplane, the upper wing was attached at the top of the fuselage and the lower was below the fuselage. [1] It had one main float under the lower wing and two stabilizing floats on the wingtips. [1] This HB.2 variant was followed by a modified C.2 configuration to turn it into a two-seat fighter seaplane. [1] The C.2 had a new round-sided fuselage, the HB.2 had a slab-sided fuselage, and a new tailplane. [1] Neither variant was ordered or entered production. [1]
