SNCASO SO.7010 Pégase

The SNCASO SO.7010 Pégase was a six-passenger light transport aircraft developed in France immediately after World War II.

The Pégase was a low wing cantilever monoplane, notable for its unusual engine and for its fuselage construction.

The two units were connected to the propeller shaft with a free-wheel coupling in the reduction gearing so that if one failed, the other could continue to run.

[2] The Pégase had a slightly humped roofline, a conventional tail with a tall, straight tapered, round tipped fin and rudder and had a tricycle undercarriage.

[1] Tests revealed problems with the new, underdeveloped engine and only fifteen flights were made before the Pégase programme was effectively abandoned,[1] though from the April 1949 Salon Flight reported rather that development had been held up due to a shortage of engines.
