I came across this patent on http://www.google.com/patents, too,
(interesting, as it was filed by the "father of the Harrier" .. ;) ),
but couldn't find additional data, apart from those in the drawings
itself. Pusher prop with mid set narrow chord wing and a retractable
nose wheel. Lenght/span are estimations, based on the assumption of
a crew of one.

Thank you my dear Jemiba,

and may be called the Wibault Model-700.
 
Curiously, my very first 3d project was about WIbault, I've re-created as a little model.
Enjoy!

I also really liked your model. In fact, I happened to be discussing jet-like propeller-driven designs over at homebuiltairplanes.com and shared your images over there with a link back to this page. I hope you don't mind. Cheers, Matthew

WHAT??? Where did you get that notion from? And where did that designation even come from?
The "700" number looks like a Breguet designation, except the Bre.700 was a two-seat fighter proposal.
Wibault DID have a two-seat fighter project dated 1938, but he had stopped working with Breguet in 1936, so it can't be related.
I'll readily admit that this was an old post from 2008, but they continue to appear in Google searches, so this kind of post ought to be either edited or simply removed.
 
Hello,
I see no reason for this designation 700. It was just a nice 1947 Wibault patent drawing. At that time, coming back from USA, Michel Wibault created his own design office, with the support from Rockefeller.

The Breguet 700 was the last version built in 1940 from the Breguet 690 familly.

And you forget to put the aircraft itself.
