The SETCA Milan was a French-built two-seat light utility aircraft of the 1940s manufactured by (Société d'Études Techniques et de Constructions Aéronautiques).

Design and development[]

The Milan was designed by Messrs. Laboureix and Lagrevol as a two-seat side-by-side light utility aircraft. It was of all-wood construction with a fixed spatted tricycle undercarriage and had dual controls. Powered by a 90 hp (67 kW) inverted inline engine, it first flew in 1947.^[1]

Production and service[]

The Milan obtained its CNRA in August 1949. Its normal certificat de navigabilite was awarded in 1952. The prototype F-BCZZ was flown until at least 1957, but plans for further production did not reach fruition.^[1]
