Development and design
In 1961, Jean D eacute;l eacute;montez designed a two-seat light aircraft for the Soci eacute;t eacute; Aeronautique Normande (SAN) at Bernay in Normandy to replace his earlier Jodel D.11, which SAN (amongst other manufacturers) were building to meet a requirement for aircraft to equip flying clubs subsidised by the French government. D eacute;l eacute;montez based the new design on his three ndash;four seat Jodel Ambassadeur, (also being built by SAN), with a reduced span wing and shorter fuselage.
The new aircraft, the D.150 Grand Tourisme3 first flew on 2 June 1962, production beginning (as the D.150 Mascaret- named after a tidal bore) in 1963.
Like all the light aircraft that D eacute;l eacute;montez designed under the Jodel and Robin names, the D.150 is a low-winged monoplane of wooden construction, with distinctive upturned outer wings. It has a fixed tailwheel undercarriage, with its crew of two sitting side-by-side under a two door canopy. It was offered with the same range of engines as the larger Ambassadeur, giving a good performance for a two-seat trainer/tourer.
Operational history
Sixty-two D.150s had been built by 1969, when SAN went into liquidation, the factory being brought by Avions Mudry. Plans for homebuilt construction of the Mascaret remain available, over 100 having been built.
