Designing an aircraft model Morane-Saulnier MS.230 was carried out in mid-20-ies of the last century, at the same time, despite the fact that the new aircraft is intended to be used solely as a means of civil aircraft in the future, the aircraft received also military purposes, in particular, the plane is very actively used as a combat unit in such countries as Belgium, Brazil, Greece, Portugal, Romania, Turkey, Switzerland and others.

The aircraft model Morane-Saulnier MS.230 has a sufficiently compact size that provides the aircraft's aerodynamics acceptable, which in turn has a direct impact on high maneuverability of the aircraft. These factors are very favorable for this model aircraft, particularly given the fact that the plane model Morane-Saulnier MS.230 used as a sports aircraft, including having to perform aerobatic stunts.

The first flight tests of the aircraft underwent in February 1929 years, and since essentially no deviations from technical standards established by the aircraft manufacturers have been identified, the project was able to go into series production, where, despite the short to find, very popular - for the period of production exercising with 1929 1935 on year, the French aircraft manufacturers 1118 aircraft of this model were built.

The aircraft Morane-Saulnier MS.230 can carry out transportation on its board of up to two people, including one pilot and one passenger. As such, for the transportation of cargo aircraft model Morane-Saulnier MS.230 does not apply, however, the plane is very effectively used as training facilities, and is also used as a sports agent, including the ability to carry out execution of aerobatic stunts.

Monoplane model Morane-Saulnier MS.230 is equipped with a power plant consisting of one Salmson 9Ad piston aircraft engine, which, with a thrust of 230 hp, is capable of accelerating the aircraft to its maximum flight speed of 215 km / h. The maximum range of this aircraft is 480 kilometers, which is very acceptable.
