He originally worked for Morane-Saulnier[1] on the Morane-Saulnier MS-880 (Rallye), and also later for Société Nationale d'Industrie Aérospatiale. He designed the Colomban Cri-cri in 1973. In the 1990s, he also designed the aluminium and composite Colomban MC-100 Ban-Bi, a two-seat aircraft that can reach 3000NaN0 with an 800NaN0 engine. More recently, Colomban designed the wood, composite and canvas MC-30 Luciole ultralight, which has a maximum speed of 2000NaN0.[2]
