The Morane-Saulnier MS.570 was a civil utility aircraft produced in small numbers in France in the late 1940s. [1] [2] [3]
The MS.570 was a derivative of the MS.560 aerobatics aircraft with a revised fuselage design that added a second seat side-by-side with the pilot's and a more powerful engine. [2]
Like its predecessor, the MS.570 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage. Construction was of metal throughout, with the fuselage having a semi-monocoque structure. The cockpit was enclosed by an expansive bubble canopy that slid rearwards to provide access. [4] The wings could be folded for storage. [4]
While the MS.570 had only two seats, it was followed by MS.571 that added an extra seat to the rear of the cockpit [2] [3] (optionally, a small bench seat [4] ), and the dedicated four-seater MS.572. [2]
