| Designed to meet the requirements of the 1930 single-seat
fighter programme which specified the use of a
supercharged engine and a maximum speed of at least
350km/h, the Mureaux 170 was powered by
a 690hp Hispano-Suiza 12 Xbrs 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engine and carried an armament of two 7.7mm
MAC (Vickers) machine guns in the wings. Of all-metal
construction, the Mureaux 170 was first flown in
November 1932, a second prototype, built as a private
venture, flying in March 1934. Several changes were
made to the size and positioning of the radiator bath,
and the fighter was rejected primarily because of the
poor visibility from the cockpit for landing.
