The development of the SAN Jodel D.140 Mousquetaire aircraft was carried out by the French aircraft manufacturer Jodel, while the main goal for the beginning of the design work was the need to provide the country's citizens with inexpensive aircraft suitable for transporting people and goods. Nevertheless, due to the fact that the SAN Jodel D.140 Mousquetaire aircraft is suitable for carrying four passengers on board, the aircraft also found application in the commercial sphere, where it was used until the mid-80s of the last century.
