SFCA Lignel 10

The SFCA Lignel 10 was a French single seat aircraft designed to bridge a training gap between basic trainers and front-line fighters.

The Lignel 10 of 1938 was a wooden low wing cantilever monoplane, one in the series of Société Française de Construction Aéronautique designs stretching back to the 1935 SFCA Maillet 20.

[1] The Lignel 10 was powered by a 160 kW (220 hp) Renault 6Q-03[2] air-cooled, supercharged, inverted 6 cylinder inline engine.

Its fin and tailplane, the latter mounted at mid-fuselage, had straight, swept edges but rounded tips and carried round-edged, unbalanced control surfaces.

[1] Its tailwheel landing gear had its main legs mounted at the outer ends of the wing centre section at about 40% chord, retracting outwards into the outer wing panels, Each leg carried a single landing wheel.
