SAB DB-70 Airliner

The SAB DB-70 was a French experimental large aircraft of the interwar period, developed in connection with Dyle et Bacalan’s unusual thick-wing transport designs. It was not a Second World War operational bomber. Its history concerns experimental commercial aviation and ambitious passenger-aircraft layouts, with limited construction rather than a long airline or military production career.

The aircraft first flew in 1929 and used three engines with a very broad central wing section connecting twin tail booms. Accommodation extended into the unusually thick center section, reflecting an attempt to gain passenger space from the wing’s structure. Only one was built. Dyle et Bacalan’s aviation activities passed into SAB, whose later military designs employed related layouts. The DB-70 therefore records an experimental route toward large transport aircraft rather than conventional airline standardization.
