301:, which made it slightly longer, heavier and slower than the type 130. Both were heavier than the types 3 and 4 when fully equipped. The Type 130 had a top speed at sea level of 232 km/h (144 mph) and could reach 5,000 m (16,000 ft) in 21 minutes. Externally the types 130 and 131 differed most in the covering of their wings; the 130's was entirely fabric covered, whereas that of the 131 was duralumin covered on the upper surface with fabric on the lower. This mixture made the 131 better suited to outside storage whilst allowing easy assessment of internal wing damage. The type 130 was first reported in November 1929 but the type 131 did not fly until the first half of 1931. 134: 361: 310: 37: 292:
Between the 11th and 12th Paris Aero Shows (July 1928 and December 1930) Ateliers Les Mureaux became known as ANF Les Mureaux when they amalgamated with Ateliers de Construction du Nord de la France. They also changed their type designations into three digit numbers. By mid-1931 they had introduced

The exact date of the Les Mureaux 3 C.2's first flight is not known; it appeared at the Paris Aero Show in December 1926 but did not fly before the following March, though by then it was almost ready. It had certainly been flown before the end of June 1927, when it was being tested at

two observation aircraft, almost identical to each other apart from their engines and very similar to the types 3 and 4, designated ANF Les Mureaux 130 A2 and ANF Les Mureaux 131 A2. The types 3 and 130 had the same engine but the type 131 was fitted with a 500 hp (370 kW)

The fuselage of the Mureaux was built around four duralumin tube longerons, with easily repaired connections to tubular diagonals and with removable panels covering the forward part. Two removable engine mountings allowed either a 440 kW (590 hp)
