Bernard SIMB AB 10

The Bernard SIMB AB 10 was a French single-engine, single-seat, highly streamlined, cantilever, all-metal low-wing monoplane of advanced design.

The AB in this name stood for Adolphe Bernard and C for chasseur (English: fighter) with 1 indicating single-seat.

Advanced for its time, it was a streamlined cantilever low-wing monoplane with a closely cowled, liquid-cooled engine.

[1] Its fuselage, rounded in cross-section, tapered to the rear and curved down forwards over the engine to the low-mounted two-blade propeller.

In this period the wing structure was revised and the span extended by 800 mm (2 ft 7 in) with more squared-off tips.
