The Dewoitine D.560 was a prototype French single-seat fighter developed by Dewoitine as an alternate to the Dewoitine D.500.[1] The design failed to better the performance and only one aircraft was built.[1]
Development
To provide an alternate design in the competition to supply the French Air Force with a successor to the Nieuport 62.[1] Rather than the low-wing monoplane design of the D.500 the D.560 had a shoulder-mounted gull wing.[1] During test flying the D.560 was found to be slower than the D.500 and had stability problems.[1] The aircraft was rebuilt with a parasol wing and redesignated the D.570.[1] Performance was even worse than the gull wing design, and following a crash of the prototype development was abandoned.[1]
Variants
D.560 Prototype gull wing fighter, one built.[1] D.570 The D.560 rebuilt with a parasol wing.[1]
