Société industrial pour l'aéronautique
The Société industrial pour l'aéronautique (SIPA) was a French aircraft manufacturer founded by Émile Dewoitine in 1938 after his former company Avions Dewoitine had been nationalized the previous year. From 1938 to 1940 SIPA acted as a supplier of aircraft components for other French companies.
After the Second World War , the development of a number of trainer aircraft for the French Air Force began .
In 1947 SIPA won a competition for a new two-seat school and touring aircraft for the French aero clubs, and it produced 113 of the SIPA S.90 series. Only three copies of the SIPA S.1000 Coccinelle developed afterwards were built in 1956/57.
The SIPA S.200 Minijet first flew in 1952 and was the world's first light two-seater all-metal jet .
SIPA was taken over by Aérospatiale in 1975 .
