The Besson MB.36 was a French monoplane flying-boat designed by Marcel Besson, only one was built. [1]
The MB.36 was a parasol-wing monoplane flying-boat for use as either a bomber or commercial transport. [1] It was powered by three 420 hp (313 kW) Gnome-Rhône 9Ad Jupiter radial engines. [1] The prototype, registered F-AKEJ, was a 10-seat commercial variant, designed in 1926 but did not fly until 15 May 1930 because of financial difficulties. [1] By the time of the MB.36 first flight, the company had been taken over by the ANF Mureaux company. [1] After the flying-boat lost a stabilizing float during official tests, and because of poor performance the project was abandoned and the MB.36 scrapped. [1]
