Bordeaux Aéronautique (Bloch) BA 10

[Deltafan]

At the beginning of the Cuny book Les chasseurs Dassault Ouragans, Mystères et Super-Mystères, a previous model is mentioned :

-Bordeaux Aéronautique BA 10 : fighter with 2000 to 3000 HP piston engine or jet engine (1944-45)

It's new for me and probably something between the last Bloch piston engines fighters and dérivatives projects*, and the Ouragan jet.

If someone knows something about this Bloch BA 10, thanks in advance.

I never saw this thread my dear Deltafan,

and as we know Bordeaux Aéronautique was formed by Marcel Bloch in 1939,and dissolved
in 1947,and I suggest if there was an unknown Project called MB.1000,or generally it appeared
in both versions,with piston or jet engines?.

Unfortunately,I don't have from all these sources,except Claude Carlier's books,
there's nothing in TU also ?!.

There are few words about the BA 10 and BA 20 in volume 3 of that book: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/les-avions-marcel-bloch.42831/
No more details regarding these very ephemeral projects, immediately abandoned by Marcel Bloch when he came back in 1945.

My dear Philippe,

do you mean the BA 20 was not the same as BA 1020 ?,or developed from it ?.

My dear Philippe,

do you mean the BA 20 was not the same as BA 1020 ?,or developed from it ?.

Yes, there are completely independent designs.
MB 1020 was initiated in 1940. It became BA 1020 during the war, and survived it.
In 1945, Talence team also presented to Marcel Bloch 3 projects they have worked on during the war: Ba 10, 20 and 30. Bloch decided to stop the projects BA 10 and BA 20, but to continue the BA 30 that was immediately renamed MB 30. I published photos with MB 30-3 and BA 1020 in the same location in my volume 3 about Marcel Bloch.

Please also note that the MB 1010 project of 1940 and the BA 10 proposed in 1945 have no connection to each other.

Many thanks,and can I ask you my dear Philippe,

Many thanks,and can I ask you my dear Philippe,

Which drawings? I have never seen a single drawing of the BA 10 or BA 20.

 

[hesham]

OK my dear,

I was just asking,because as I know all projects are in Eiffel or Onera wind tunnel.

 

[PhR]

all projects are in Eiffel or Onera wind tunnel.

I am not sure to understand this statement. Plenty of projets were never tested in wind tunnel. Even for the one tested, there was many other wind tunnels in France.
