Found this in the old Air Touring hangar, in a pile of rubbish
That’s neat. Judging from the registration numbers, the sketches are of the Morane Saulnier 180 and 250… which one assumes might have been the early designations for the Caribbean series aircraft?
Hi
The Aérospatiale logo is the later one, used from 1992 to 1999 (when it became EADS).
So I guess it is a preview if the GT series (which came to market around the year 2000 if I remember well)
Cheers
The curved roof is clearly the GT.
yep, plus the curved fin root
…and the wing tips !
I should have made this into a competition 
The really interesting thing (to me) is the air inlet for the engine, which is to one side. It looks quite, ahem, fashionable.
I think this quite nicely illustrates how retractables are much, much sexier. 
And I too was reminded of Morane-Saulnier by the MS in those registrations. Tribute to their origin, perhaps?
I remembervhaving seen these sketches a period before the final presentation at le Bourget in 199 …
I also remember seeing them there for the first time, i was sort of disappointed,, because I more or less expected these slicker lines, and more use of carbon or other materials. They had the technique for that in Tarbes, producing all kind of panels for Airbus.
I’m digging out this old topic.
I unintentionally bumped into the article below, which solves the mystery: the MS180 and MS250 were the diesel projects for the TB10 and the TB20, hence the strange air intake:
Unfortunately these projects were cancelled, obviously…
