Design and development
Only one prototype, similar to the Bloch MB.150 but reduced in size and weight, was constructed in 1938 armed with two 20 mm (0.787 in) Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannons. Whilst being re-engined with a 600 kW (800 hp) power plant, the German invasion reached Paris. The airframe was transported to Bordeaux, where the sole R-30 was destroyed when the building it was being stored in was destroyed in a blaze.[1]
