The '''Brochet MB.80''' was a two-seat light aircraft developed in France in the early 1950s.
==Design and development== The MB.80 was a derivative of the Brochet MB.70, using essentially the same airframe, but with a redesigned wider fuselage and revised undercarriage. The ''Service de l'Aviation Légère et Sportive'' purchased ten examples for distribution to French aeroclubs. Most examples were operated in France, but one example was later sold privately to the United Kingdom.
==Variants== ;MB.80:production version powered by Minié 4DC-32B (10 built) ;MB.81:version with Hirth HM 500B-2 engine (1 built) ;MB.83:version with Continental C90 engine (1 converted from MB.80) ;MB.84:version with Continental A65 engine (1 converted from MB.80 F-BGLI) <!-- ==Units using this aircraft/Operators (choose)== -->
