The Indraéro Aéro 101 was a training biplane developed in France in the 1950s. It was a conventional design with single-bay staggered wings braced with an I-strut, and fixed tailskid undercarriage with divided main units. The pilot and instructor sat in tandem, open cockpits. A small batch of aircraft were ordered by SALS for aeroclub use, which differed from the prototype in having horizontally-opposed Minié 4DC engines instead of a Salmson 9A radial.
These were followed in 1951 by the Aéro 110, a generally similar design but where the Aéro 101's all-wooden structure was replaced by fabric-covered steel tube. Only a single prototype was built, again powered by a Salmson 9A.
