The D150 Mascaret was intended to be the successor of the D11 series. The two seater design, which was created by Delemontez for the S.A.N. factories in Normandie, leaned heavily on the DR1050. The wing was narrowed a little and the fuselage was shortened. A new tailplane construction with a two piece vertical and one piece horizontal tailplane was used. This tail was later adopted by the DR1050 series.
The aircraft was given a single large fuel tank behind the seats, carrying 110 litres of fuel. Furthermore, two tanks of 40 litres each were housed in the inboard wing leading edge, giving a total of 190 litres of fuel, good for a staggering 10 hour endurance. The tank behind the panel that is installed in the DR1050 did not reappear in the D150, resulting in much more space behind the panel, which has always been a problem in the DR1050.
The new tailplane configuration, and in particular the one piece all moving horizontal tail, is so much more powerful than the original narrower two piece version that the CG envelope has been opened quite a bit farther. This is also why Delemontez could get away with just the fuel tank under the bench seat, and without the tank behind the panel to balance it. All the models following the D150 (the DR200 series and so on) have this larger rear tank and no panel tank. It was fitted with a 100 hp Continental O-200A engine.
Interesting note is that the D150 prototype (F-BJST) was originally fitted with the new two piece vertical tail, but still had the old style two piece horizontal. The subsequent production aircraft all had the new tail configuration, which was later also retrofitted to the prototype.

The prototype was fitted with the rather blunt wheelpants of the DR1050 Ambassadeur, whereas production models received the sleeker Sicile pants.

The D150 design proved successfull, even though only 61 of the breed were produced at S.A.N. in Bernay. S.A.N. decided to market it at a lower price than the 3/4 seater DR1050. This despite the fact that it didn’t cost less to build. In fact, S.A.N. lost money on every D150 that was produced. Among other things, this was what in the end led them into bankrupcy.
S.A.B. was still selling plans and even kits for homebuilding.

Like the DR1050 / 1051, the Mascaret is also fitted with either a Continental O-200 or a Potez 4E20 engine. The latter model being desgnated D150 A. A 135 hp Franklin engine has been tried, and a few of these have actually been built. Homebuilt D150’s usually mount O-200’s, even though an O-320 fitted “Super Mascaret” is flying in the UK.
The Mascaret is cleared for mild aerobatics.

By the time, the whole range of aircraft had been taken over by Robin. Meanwhile, Joly and Delemontez were not sitting idle. Having built the D9, D10 series (=DR100) and D11 series, it was time to move on. After some ideas that never materialised, the D140 Mousquetaire was introduced. In 1956, the Jumbo Jodel was developed by Delemontez and Lucien Querey (founder of SAN) as a touring machine, seating 4 people.
It was to become the biggest jodel ever built: a 180 hp tailwheel design with four/five seat capacity. Early Mousquetaires featured a rather ugly triangle vertical tailplane, later ones were fitted with tailplanes like on the DR 1050 M and DR 200 series.

Jodel D.140 Article

Aft of the cabin, a huge cargo door hides a very roomy space to stow a lot of camping goods, making this aircraft a very nice go places platform. The D140s have been used as air ambulances and originally the cargo door was meant as an entry point for stretchers carrying injured people.
SAN evolved the four/five-seat model that first flew in July 1958 as the D.140 with a 134-kW (180-hp) 0-360 engine.
Curious detail of the D140 is that the factory prototype carried the serial number 4. The first three (F-BIZE, F-BIZA AND F-BIZB) had already been sold to the launching customer: le Service de la Formation Aeronautique, a French governmental institution.
The D140 has been built in several variants, D140A, B, C, E and R. The A and B model had a very distict vertical tailplane, of rather dubious esthetical quality. Later models received the more pleasing tail layout as on the DR1050M models. The D140 C model is very interesting in this respect, since it had both the modern two piece swept vertical tail and the old style two piece horizontal tail.

A total of 193 of the D.140A, B, C, D, and E were built.

The D.140R Abeille was developed from the D.140E for glider towing. Twenty-two were built.

A variant of the Mousquetaire is the D.140R Abeille glider tug, and this is identical to the D.140 apart from its glider-towing fitment and a more extensively glazed cabin for improved rearward fields of vision. In 1969 SAN went into liquidation and production of the two D.140 variants was shifted to Avions Pierre Robin.
Avions Mudry purchased the manufacturing rights to the Mousquetaire and continued building them, naming them Abeille (Bee). The abeille has been built with glider towing in mind. This resulted in a lowered turtledeck, omission of the cargo bay and lengthened glass area.

M. Alain Cauchy approached M. Delemontez after the 1973 oil crisis wanting to revive the D-11 concept, this time aiming to get the most out of a converted VW engine. The resulting two-seater was named DC1, after Delemontez and Cauchy. After roughly 5000 hours of design, engineering and building the DC1 took to the air for the first time in 1978. The plane is indeed much more related to the D9 than the D11. Major changes are that it has a more modern wing profile, and the fuselage is wide enough for two.
The resulting plane has an empty weight of only 216kg its gross weight is 450. With a 1600cc converted Volkswagen engine the cruise speed is 170km/h, and fuel consumption 11 lt/hr.

The French government, always keen to encourage local enterprise, showed an interest in the D.9 design and a sligtly larger aircraft, the D11 with two seats, followed. Joly and Delemontez fomally set up a company, combining their names. The Jodel company.
The two seat D11 series was designed and constructed as a prototype batch for a French government requirement for an aero club trainer.
The Jodel Club is an enclosed, side by side, two seat dual control, low wing monoplane, which is essentially designed for the amateur builder and pilot, and first flown in 1951. Its essenti¬ally simple but rugged construction, together with the excellent flying qualities, have established the D11 as the most popular French two seater, and led to its adoption by many French flying clubs.
The one piece cantilever wing has upswept tapered outer panels, typical of the Jodel types, with the inboard part of the wing straight. In other respects the con¬struction is conventional and straightforward in spruce and plywood with fabric covering. The wing is built on a single box spar, which also supports the two legs of the wide track undercarriage. The undercarriage em¬ploys rubber in compression springing, and is fitted with light industrial wheels.
The fuselage is a rectangular box structure with a curved spruce top decking and plywood covering. The tailpiece is also plywood covered, while the elevator and rudder are fabric covered. Longitudinal trim is obtained by an elevator trim tab. The design load factor is 6.0 at 1360 lb. The D11 may be powered hp Continental engines from 65 to 100 h.p. and seats two in side-by-side fashion.

The Jodel company did not manufacture that many aircraft itself, their idea being to licence other firms. There were two Jodel-built D.11 prototypes and 11 pre-production D.111. Jean Delemontez worked directly with two organisations in particular to develop the various Jodel models and series.

There were 562 factory built; Wassmer built D.112, SAN 10, Valladeau 50, and other companies. Others were built or sold in kit form in Switzerland, West Germany and Sweden.

Jodel D.117 Article

The D11 variants, principally the 65 hp D112, the 90 hp D117, 225 produced by Society Aeronautic Normande (SAN) at Bernay and the 90 hp D120 from Avions Wassmer at Issoire, were produced in large numbers for aeroclubs through the French government subsidy scheme. Wassmer started aircraft production at Issoire in 1945, building Jodel D.112 under license. There were versions that were called D119 and 1190.

Alpavia built 10 D.117A, Valladeau built 10 D.119D. Aerodifusion built the D.1190S Compostela version of the D.119, Wassmer built 350 D.120 Paris-Nice versions, and EAC built four of the D.127 version.

Founded 1958 by Mm d’Assche and Noin, Alpavia sa made the slightly modified Jodel D-117-A (two per month from January 1959). In 1962 partnership with Rene Fournier resulted in Avion-Planeur RF3 with Volkswagen engine.
From the 1950s onwards various types, D11, D112, D117 and so on, were built by various companies. There was also a large pool of amateur builders whose examples were generally powered by 90 hp Continental C90s or 100 hp O-200s and usually designated D111. Roughly 1500 commercially built aircraft of this series were produced.
With SAN at Bernay Delemontez developed the 180 hp four to five seat D140 Mousquetaire and later the 100 hp two seat D150 Mascaret. New samples of the breed are still being developed, the D18 and D19 being the most recent models.
