Design and operations

The B.50 was designed and built after the Second World War by Luicien Tieles, it was a strut-braced high-wing monoplane with three seats and a conventional landing gear with a tail wheel. [1] The prototype, with the French test registration F-WCZE, first flew on 13 October 1946 powered by a 100 hp (75 kW) Renault 4Pei engine. [1] Tieles modified the design as a four-seater and formed Societe Boisavia to build the type which he called the Mercurey. [1]

The Boisavia B.60 Mercurey was a series of four-seat light aircraft developed in France shortly after World War II.

The Boisavia B.260 Anjou was a four-seat twin-engine light aircraft developed in France in the 1950s. It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration with retractable tricycle undercarriage. Intended by Boisavia as a touring aircraft, it did not find a market and only the single prototype was constructed. At this point, the firm sold the design to SIPA, which modified the design and re-engined it with Lycoming O-360 engines, but found that they could not sell it either. At a time when the twin-engine light plane market was already dominated by all-metal American aircraft, the Anjou's fabric-over-tube construction was something of an anachronism, and all development was soon ceased. Plans to develop a stretched version with three extra seats and Potez 4D engines were also abandoned.
