The Wibault company or Société des Avions Michel Wibault was a French aircraft manufacturing company. Its workshops were located in Billancourt, in the Paris area.[1][2]
History
The Wibault company was established in 1919 by Michel Wibault.[3] The planes produced by Wibault in the first decade included reconnaissance, fighter and bomber aircraft, but production shifted mainly to civilian aircraft after 1930.[1]
Some of the Wibault designs were quite successful; the Vickers Wibault was a licensed version of the Wibault 7 built by the British company Vickers in the 1920s.[4]
