Design and development


Marcel Echard was an engine designer with a lifetime interest in two-strokes. His first such engine was built in 1911 and he began work on the 4.C.02 in 1949. By 1953 this engine had achieved its homologation and had been test-flown on a Jodel D.9.[1] The Briffaud GB-6 is the only known application, a one-off aircraft with a short life, though not because of its engine.[2]

Unusually for a two-stroke, the fuel/air mixture was compressed externally rather than in the crankcase.[1]
