A New Commercial Dewoitine

A New Commercial Dewoitine AIRCRAF T ENGINEERING May, 1933 On e of the Designs Competing for Replacement Contracts on the Air France Lines H E new Dewoitine three-engined trans­ por t machine, known as the D-620, is one of several new monoplanes for commercial service which were built a s part of th e 1935 constructional programme in France. Main Plane The D-620 is a n all-metal low wing monoplane fitted with three Gnome-Rhone 14 Krsd air- cooled engines, and has accommodation for a crew of three and thirty passengers.
