The Musca 1 was a cantilever low-wing monoplane powered by an 85 hp (63 kW) Continental C85 flat-four piston engine. [1] Named for the chief designer Franco Muscariello it had an enclosed side-by-side seating and a fixed conventional landing gear. [1] The Musca 1 started production in 1948 and in 1951 the Musca 1bis was introduced with structural improvements. [1] The company had two further variants planned but the company was dissolved around 1951.
