The Pari “Microjet 200”

The light two‐seat twin‐jet Microjet 200 made its first flight from Toulouse‐Blagnac on 24 June 1980. The aircraft flew for 40 minutes without problem, at an altitude of 1000 metres and a speed of 220 km/hr. Jacques Grangette was at the controls. A highly experienced team employed by Société Microturbo developed this aircraft. The team consists of around a dozen persons, including Jacques Grangette who is both leader of the team and in charge of development, Claude Fimbel, who conducted the study work and Jules Bernard, in charge of fabrication. Wind tunnel testing was executed at CEAT, Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Lille (IMFL) for spin, and ONERA for flutter analysis.
