Flown for the first time in June 1928, the Type 110 was designed by M Dutartre as a contender in the so-called "Jockey" lightweight interceptor contest in which it competed against nine other types. Two prototypes were built, these being of all-metal construction and powered by the 500hp Hispano-Suiza 12Mb 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, the first prototype having fabric and the second metal wing skinning. Basically a parasol monoplane, the Type 110 was fitted with a jettisonable aerofoil-section fuel tank inserted in the fuselage aft of the main undercarriage members in the form of stub wings. Armament comprised two Vickers guns. On 1 July 1929, the first prototype was destroyed in an accident and no further development was undertaken.
