WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-set cantilever monoplane wing
- Fixed tailskid landing gear
- Enclosed cockpit for a single pilot
Look for a small low-wing monoplane with a fixed tailskid undercarriage and an enclosed single-seat cockpit. It was powered by a Régnier 4E.0 inverted in-line engine.

History
The M.200 first flew on 21 March 1939. In May 1939 it established new FAI records for an aircraft of its class.
Variants
The M.200 was the first prototype of a single-seat training and racing aircraft. A second airframe, the M.201, was meant to take a 150 horsepower Régnier 4E.0, and the M.202 was a second flyable prototype that first flew in June 1941.
