The design of the light multipurpose monoplane model Morane-Saulnier MS315 began by French aircraft engineers at the end of the 20-ies of the last century. The new aircraft was supposed to be used as a training, private and passenger aircraft, which was one of the reasons for the popularization of this project, which turned out to be very popular, and right up to the beginning of the 80-ies of the last century. Nevertheless, among other things, this aircraft was also very actively used as a military aircraft, which was used in the Second World War as an independent combat unit.

The aircraft model Morane-Saulnier MS315 has a sufficiently light and compact design that provides the aircraft and very good aerodynamic performance, and maneuverability is quite acceptable, and that is one reason why the aircraft found extensive use as a sports and aerobatic aircraft.

His first ascent into the air plane model Morane-Saulnier MS315 has made in April 1932 the year - due to the fact that all test trials were held in accordance with the norms and expectations of aircraft manufacturers, the project was sent to the serial production, where he was for several years - for the entire period release 315 aircraft of this model were built, of which up to now remained a few dozen copies of functioning.

(The maximum rate). The maximum range of the following aircraft is 600 kilometers, however, this figure depends on the modification of the aircraft.
