Michel Colomban

Michel Colomban (born 1932 in France) is a French aeronautical engineer known for his home-built aircraft.

He originally worked for Morane-Saulnier[1] on the Morane-Saulnier MS-880 (Rallye), and also later for Société Nationale d'Industrie Aérospatiale.

He designed the Colomban Cri-cri in 1973.

In the 1990s, he also designed the aluminium and composite Colomban MC-100 Ban-Bi, a two-seat aircraft that can reach 300 km/h (186 mph) with an 80 hp (60 kW) engine.

More recently, Colomban designed the wood, composite and canvas MC-30 Luciole ultralight, which has a maximum speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).
