The first small jet-powered civil aircraft was the Morane-Saulnier MS.760 Paris, developed privately in the early 195 from the MS.755 Fleuret two-seat jet trainer. First flown in 1954, the MS.760 Paris differs from subuent business jets having only four seats arranged in two rows without a center aisle, similar to a light aircraft, under a large sliding canopy similar to that of a fighter. A U.S. type certificate was awarded.
