The SECAT RG-75 (sometimes designated SECAT 75T[1]) was a light utility monoplane built in France shortly after World War II.[1][2] It was a conventional cabin monoplane with two seats side-by-side.[1][2][3][4] The wing was mounted high and was of fully cantilever design.[1][4] The conventional undercarriage consisted of two fixed, divided main units plus a fixed tailskid.[1] Power was supplied by a tractor-mounted piston engine that drove a two-bladed propeller.[1][4] Construction was of wood throughout, covered in plywood.[4]
Two prototypes, registered F-WBBX and F-WBBT were tested at the CEV at Brétigny-sur-Orge in 1947 by pilots Marcel Joannès and Guy Buteau. Shortly afterwards, F-WBBT was displayed together with other SECAT designs at the Semaine de l'Aviation légère (light aviation week) held at Toussus-le-Noble from 22 April 1947 but was already somewhat outdated by the standards of the time.[1] SECAT produced no further examples.[1]
