The '''Hurel-Dubois HD.10''' was a French research aircraft first flown in 1948 to investigate [[Maurice Hurel]]'s ideas about high-aspect ratio wings. It was a single-seat monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage, twin tails, and featuring an extremely long, slender wing with an aspect ratio of 30. This was mounted above the aircraft's enclosed cockpit and braced with struts. Construction was of metal throughout. Between 1948 and 1954, this aircraft accumulated some 200 hours of flight time and is now preserved in the ''[[Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace]]'' in Paris.
