Air SA 103 Emouchet
In the same category as the Grunau Baby, the SA 103 Emouchet (or Kestrel) single-seat elementary training glider and the very similar SA 104 was designed and built just after the war by Arsenal de I'Aeronautique and went into large-scale production at Chatillon-sous-Bagneux for the French National Gliding Centres and clubs; some were also built by Societe Roche-Aviation. Of conventional wood and fabric construction, the Emouchet has a parasol wing with metal bracing struts and no air brakes or spoilers. The cockpit is an open one and landing gear consists of a landing skid under the forward fuselage and a tail bumper fairing. The fuselage itself is of hexagonal cross-section and the tailplane is set forward of the diminutive fin and large rudder.

Регистрационный номер: F-WGGH Arsenal SA.104 Emouchet F-WGGH (c/n 224) was one of at least two examples of the training glider fitted with SNECMA Escopette pulsejets. It is seen here with a total of six Escopette units installed, arranged in clusters of three on each wing. The other example, probably F-WGGG (c/n 203), was fitted with a cluster of two on each wing.

The SIPA S70 wood and metal 8 passenger feeder liner was powered by two Mathis 200 hp 8-cyl G8R inverted vee in-line engines with cowlings and propellers similar to those on the same engine in the S20. The undercarriage main wheels were to be retractable but the tailwheel was fixed. The aircraft on display appeared to be largely a mockup intended to investigate sales possibilities and like the S20 no more was heard of it. Behind is the tail of the Arsenal SA103 Emouchet training glider, a standard single seat type which was widely used in France. The T107 exhibited by Guerchais-Roche was very similar.
