The aircraft was designed by Jean Dabos in 1962 and first flew in the following year. The D'Artagnan featured a two-spar plywood-covered wooden wing and an all-wood semi-monocoque fuselage. A retractable tailwheel undercarriage was fitted, but provision was made for changing to a tricycle undercarriage layout. Accommodation was provided for four persons. The projected production version was to have a non-retractable faired undercarriage, variable-pitch propellers in place of the prototype's fixed pitch units, and 115 h.p. Potez engines.[1]
