CVT M-200
|} The CVT M-200 was a two-seat glider that was designed and built in Italy from 1963.
Development
Designed by Alberto and Piero Morelli, the M-200 was built by the Turin Gliding Centre (Centro di Volo a Vela – Turin) under contract with the Aero Club of Italy (Aero-club d'Italia). The M-200 is a two-seat glider with dual controls with generally similar layout to the single seat M-100 but with greater dimensions. Conventional wooden-frame structure and plwood skinning were used for the fuselage with a single-spar wing covered in plywood and fabric. Accommodation for two is provided in the staggered seat cockpit covered by a sideways hingeing canopy. With relatively high performance for its day, the M-200 also proved to be easy to fly both for early solo pilots and for advanced aerobatics.
The M-200 was also built in France by CARMAM as the M-200 Foehn.
