The Boisavia B-80 Chablis was a light sport aircraft made in the 1950s by the French manufacturer Société Boisavia .
History and construction
The Chablis was designed by Lucien Tieles and built by Boisavia. The two-seater monoplane took off on its maiden flight on July 16, 1950. The aircraft was a braced high-wing aircraft, the open seats of which were arranged one behind the other and consisted of a simple wooden structure covered with fabric. The machine should be equipped with a wide variety of motors from 50 to 80 HP.
Two copies were built by Boisavia. These were powered by a 65 hp (48 kW) Continental A65 boxer engine. The Chablis was intended as a kit that could also be assembled by amateurs. Development was discontinued due to a lack of interest from potential customers.
