==Design and development== The Wibault 360 was a low-wing [[monoplane]] powered by a {{convert|230|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Salmson 9A]]b [[radial engine]] and equipped with [[conventional landing gear]].<ref name="orbis" /> The design was based on the earlier three-engined [[Wibault 283]] but the 360 was smaller and had an enclosed cabin for a pilot and five passengers.<ref name="orbis" /> The prototype, designated the 360T5, first flew in August 1931.<ref name="orbis" /> A number of variants were built with different engines, the last of the series was the Wib.366 designed to compete in the [[MacRobertson Air Race|1934 London to Melbourne air race]].<ref name="orbis" />
==Variants== ;360T5 :Prototype with a {{convert|230|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Salmson 9A]]b radial engine, one built.<ref name="orbis" /> ;362 :Variant powered by a {{convert|300|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Gnome-Rhône 7K]]b engine, two built in 1933.<ref name="orbis" /> ;365 :Six-seat variant powered by a {{convert|500|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Gnome-Rhône 9K]]brs radial engine, one built in 1933.<ref name="orbis" /> ;366 :Variant for the [[MacRobertson Air Race]] powered by a {{convert|500|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Hispano-Suiza 12Ybrs]] engine, it had a cruising speed of 250 km/h (155 mph),<ref name="orbis" /> it did not take part in the race. ;367 :The Wibault 365 modified with a retractable landing gear.<ref name="orbis" />
