X-Plane 9.70+ Morane-Saulnier Type N. The Morane-Saulnier N, also known as the Morane-Saulnier Type N, was a French monoplane fighter aircraft of the First World War. Designed and manufactured by Morane-Saulnier, the Type N entered service in April 1915 with the Aeronautique Militaire designated as the MS.5C.1. The Type N mounted a single unsynchronized forward-firing machine gun (either a .303-in Vickers or 7.9 mm Hotchkiss) which used the deflector wedges, first demonstrated on the Morane-Saulnier Type L, in order to fire through the propeller arc. Credit goes to Bernard Augras for the use of his pilot. By Philippe Gastebois.
