Fauvel AV.44 explained
The
Fauvel AV.44 was a design for an unorthodox light aircraft produced in
France in the 1970s. The work of
Charles Fauvel, it was based on his pre-war
AV.10 and like it, was a tailless
monoplane with a reverse-delta planform and side-by-side seating in an enclosed cabin. The AV.44 featured considerably more modern aerodynamics and accommodation for two passengers in place of the AV.10's one. Five examples were under construction in 1977.
