Retaining the gull-wing upper mainplane centre section or the CR.30, but possessing larger overall dimensions, a heavier armament and a more powerful engine, the CR.41 was first flown on 30 March 1935 with a 730 hp Gnome-Rhone 14Kfs Mistral Major 14-cylinder air cooled radial. Armament comprised two fuselage-mounted 12.7mm and two wing-mounted 7.7mm guns, and various two- and three-blade variable-pith propellers were ested on the sole prototype during a protracted flight test programme, and in the course of which alternative armament installations were evaluated, including one comprising two 20 mm cannon and another consisting of four 12.7mm machine guns.
Further development was discontinued in favour of the CR.42
