It was a single-engined, single-seat parasol monoplane, but only two were built, the type being rejected for service by the French Air Force.

In 1930, the French Air Ministry issued a C.1 specification for a single-seat fighter, with the ability to reach 350 km/h (217 mph) and to be fitted with a supercharged engine.

The pilot sat in an open cockpit, and was armed by two Vickers machine guns mounted in the wings.

[1][2][3] The first prototype flew on 19 November 1932,[4] Although it demonstrated good performance, being described as the "fastest French service aircraft",[3] it had a poor view from the cockpit when landing the aircraft, and despite a second prototype being flown in March 1934, the type was not chosen for production,[1] with orders instead being placed for the Dewoitine D.500 and Blériot-SPAD S.510.
