| First flown in June 1931, the MC.72 was a single-seat twin-float seaplane built originally to compete in the 1931 Schneider Trophy Contest. It was unable to take part because of defects in its experimental engine; but development enabled the aircraft to set a world speed record on 10 April 1933 of 682.078km/h, followed by others in the same year and in 1934.
