The Morane-Saulnier AR was a trainer aircraft produced in France during and after the First World War.[1][2]

Design and development

Developed from the Morane-Saulnier LA reconnaissance aircraft, the AR was a wire-braced parasol-wing monoplane of conventional design with two open cockpits in tandem and cross-axle-style tailskid undercarriage.[2] Construction was mostly of fabric-covered wood, but the forward fuselage was skinned in metal.[1]

Large-scale production commenced after the Armistice, with the type now designated MS.35, in a number of subtypes differentiated principally in the engine used.[1][2] Although Morane-Saulnier hoped to sell the type on the civil market as a touring machine,[3] most of the 400 examples built saw service with the French Army, but others were used by the Navy, and still others were exported to foreign air arms.[1][2] The MS.35s were used in France until 1929, when some of them were purchased by the country's flying clubs.[2]
