Formation and cessation of activities
The firm was formed by Louis Peyret and Pierre Mauboussin in 1928 with the aim of designing and constructing a series of light sporting civil aircraft. Three types of single-engined aircraft were produced before Mauboussin left the firm in 1932 in order to form his own company.
Aircraft types produced
- Peyret-Mauboussin PM X
- single-seat high-wing monoplane (1 built in 1928)
- Peyret-Mauboussin PM XI
- two-seat high-wing monoplane (2 built in 1931)
- Peyret-Mauboussin PM XII
- two-seat low-wing monoplane (1 built in 1931) (The Mauboussin M.120 was developed from this design).
Preserved aircraft
The second Peyret-Mauboussin PM XI F-AJUL is preserved in the Musee Castel-Mauboussin at Cuers-Pierrefeu airfield near Toulon and can be viewed by prior arrangement.[1] This light aircraft had been flown by Rene Lefevre from Paris to Tananarive, Madagascar in December 1931, taking 14 days for the journey.
