Roussel R-30

The Roussel R-30 was a French light fighter-bomber prototype of the 1930s.

Design and development

Only one prototype, similar to the Bloch MB.150 but reduced in size and weight, was constructed in 1938 armed with two Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannons. Whilst being re-engined with a power plant, the German invasion reached Paris. The airframe was transported to Bordeaux, where the sole R-30 was destroyed when the building it was being stored in was destroyed in a blaze.
