The SIPA S.300 was a light, jet-powered trainer aircraft produced by the French manufacturer Société industrial pour l'aéronautique .
History and construction
The SIPA S.300 was probably the first jet aircraft that was designed as a beginner's training aircraft from the start. Alternatively, it could have been used as a fast liaison aircraft. The aircraft was an all-metal low-wing aircraft with a tandem cockpit and a fully glazed canopy. The machine was powered by a Turbomeca Palas jet engine with 1.57 kN (350 lbf) thrust. The S.300, piloted by Max Fischl, took off on its maiden flight on October 4, 1954 and was first presented at the 1955 Paris Air Show. The prototype was destroyed on September 26, 1955 in an aircraft accident, whereupon development was discontinued.
