The Millet Lagarde ML-10 was a French experimental single-engine light aircraft of the late 1940s. It was a one-off prototype of an unusual four-seat biplane.
Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Mid-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, fuselage-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 8 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Twin fin |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Heavily staggered biplane wings fixed to the cabin roof and cabin floor
- Rear-mounted pusher engine behind the cabin
- Twin booms carrying twin fins and a tailplane, over a tricycle undercarriage
The upper wing is fixed to the cabin roof and the lower wing to the bottom of the cabin, heavily staggered so the upper trailing edge sits over the lower leading edge. A Regnier R6B engine pushes from the rear of the cabin, with twin booms and twin fins.
Specifications
- The Millet Lagarde ML-10 has a length of 8 m (26 ft).
- It has a wingspan of 10 m (33 ft).
- Its maximum speed is 235 km/h (146 mph).
- Typical crew: 1.

History
The prototype, F-WEPK, was completed in 1949 and first flew on 28 October 1949. By 1957 it was in storage at Pontoise/Cormeilles-en-Vexin airfield.
Variants
A second aircraft with some modifications was built by SCAM and designated SCAM C.50 Milane II.
Where you'll see it
