Buscaylet de Monge 5/2

During 1922, Buscaylet Pere et Fils-Bobin produced an exceptionally clean single-seat parasol fighter monoplane designed by Louis de Monge. Known as the Buscaylet- de Monge 5/2, the fighter was of metal construction with metal fuselage skinning and wooden wing skinning. Provision was made to fit auxiliary stub wings (serving to increase the wing area from 24m² to 32m² to convert the aircraft to sesquiplane configuration for the high altitude role. Powered by a 300hp Hispano-Suiza 8Fb water-cooled engine and carrying an armament of two 7.7mm synchronised machine guns, the Buscaylet-de Monge 5/2 was flown for the first time in 1923 at Villacoublay, but was declared trop moderne for service use, further development being abandoned.
