40: 469: 302:; the aircraft had been designed so that various powerplants could be selected; virtually any radial air-cooled engine of comparable weight and power could be installed. These engines were mounted on duralumin bearers that were attached to the nose of the fuselage or to the lower-wing spar by four screw-type bolts that facilitated rapid removal. Each of these engine bearer formed a block that comprised the engine, its immediate accessories, 243:, and the ailerons themselves. An elastic mounting was used for these ailerons and shared their pinion-and-ratchet actuation method with that of the Bréguet 270; whole span ailerons were fitted to both the upper and lower wings.
