Design and development

The CAMS 38 was a single-seat equal-span biplane with a 380 hp (283 kW) Hispano-Suiza 8Fd Spécial inline piston engine faired into the underside of the upper wing.[1] The engine drove a two-bladed pusher propeller.[1] The single-seat cockpit was located forward of the wing leading edge towards the front of the hull.[1]

The CAMS 38 was flown in the 1923 Schneider Trophy race by the company's chief test pilot Maurice Hurel. It was damaged by a wave before takeoff but completed the first lap. During the second lap Hurel was forced to land with a vibrating engine and loss of power.[1] During the following year the aircraft was used for flight trials but was soon scrapped.[1]
