Caudron C.240
Development and Design
In the early 1930s, the Caudron company proactively developed the C.240, a light multi-purpose aircraft. Its chief designer was Paul Deville, who spearheaded this ambitious initiative.
Technical Specifications
The C.240 was a four-seat, low-wing monoplane. It featured a mixed construction and was powered by a single Salmson 9Ac engine, capable of producing 120 horsepower.
Limited Production
Despite its innovative design and multi-purpose capabilities, Caudron unfortunately failed to secure any customers for the aircraft. As a result, only one prototype of the C.240 was ever built, remaining a unique example.
